Motion Detection Setting Tool
Tip
Setting the Motion Detection Sensitivity While Checking the Recorded Video
To set the motion detection level at which the camera mode will change to [Detected], you
can adjust the settings while checking the actual motion in the viewer. The camera lets you
set a desired motion detection level while playing the live video recorded in the Live tab
( P. 2-8), so you need not repeat the actual motion in front of the camera.
* If you are using Windows Vista without SP1, recording by Motion Detection Setting Tool
may not be possible.
1. Selecting [Video recording options] from [Tools] in the menu bar opens the Video recording
options dialog box.
