    Setting the Motion Detection The Motion Detection page allows you to adjust the sensitivity of Motion Detection. Threshold: If the threshold is set low, this function detects nearly all movements. Sensitivity: If you set sensitivity high, the amplitude of the motion detection bar gets jumpy.
  • Page 121 Preview Display the current threshold and detection level. • The threshold is the line between the green and red bar. • The detection level is the line between the dark red and light red color. • The Threshold and Sensitivity settings are enabled after saving, and reflected in preview.
  • Page 122 What is “threshold”? The threshold is the minimum value for the camera to detect motions on the image during the motion detection buffering. Setting the threshold lower allows subtler changes to be detected. Setting the threshold higher allows only bigger changes that might occupy half the image to be detected.
