Below is an explanation of the fields on the Motion Detect tab: 
 Enable: This checkbox enables motion detection for the camera. 
 Working Period: Clicking this button opens a weekly schedule that can be used to set times. 
o Click and drag to set motion detection for certain days of the week. Also, periods of motion detection 
can be set for each day and enabled using the period settings on the bottom half of the screen. There 
are a total of 6 periods that can be set. 
 Anti-Dither: This field allows the user to set the anti-dither time. The values in this field can range from 5 to 
600 seconds. This time value controls how long the alarm signal lasts. Based on motion detection, a buzzer can 
go off, a tour can begin, a snapshot can be taken, or the camera can begin recording. 
o For example, if the anti-dither time is set to 10 seconds, each alarm may last 10 seconds if the local 
alarm is activated. During the process, if the system detects another local alarm signal at the fifth 
second, the buzzer, tour, snapshot, record channel functions will begin another 10 seconds while the 
screen prompt, alarm upload, email will not be activated again. After 10 seconds, if system detects 
another alarm signal, it can generate a new alarm since the anti-dither time has expired.

a specific color, and the region selector tool is displayed when the mouse is moved to the top of the 
screen.  
 Sensitivity is the amount of change required to increase the motion detected by a 
percentage. The lower the sensitivity, the more movement is required to trigger an alarm. 
 Threshold is the level that the motion detection needs to reach in order to trigger an alarm. 
The lower the threshold, the more likely that motion will trigger an alarm. 
o To designate a zone, click and drag the mouse over the area desired. When a colored box is displayed 
over the live feed, that area is now enabled for motion detection. 
o After the motion detection zone is set, click the enter button to exit the motion detection screen.

detection zones will not go into effect. Clicking the cancel button to leave the motion detection zone 
and will not save the zone setup.
