Operating Instructions 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. The administrator can tilt the camera by using the Click to Center feature. Note No responsibility will be taken by our company with respect to consequences resulting from the use of the Motion Detection feature. The Motion Detection feature is not suitable and not recommended for uses that require a high reliability constantly such as surveillance, etc. Threshold
Operating Instructions 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. What is “sensitivity”? The sensitivity is the level of brightness detected as motion by the camera. A high sensitivity setting enables the camera to detect slight brightness changes. Lower the sensitivity to make the camera detect only big brightness changes. Note Lowering the threshold and increasing sensitivity enables the camera to detect slight movements easily. Note Motion Detection is activated by changes in the outline of objects and brightness changes. This feature is designed to decrease false detections due to overall brightness changes caused by sunlight. But in some cases, the camera may falsely detect rapid brightness changes by artificial light such as fluorescent light. In other cases, the motion detection function on the Network Camera Recorder may detect objects and brightness changes. The way to detect motion differs between the camera and the Network Camera Recorder (customer-provided). The Threshold is displayed.Only motion above the Threshold is detected.
Operating Instructions 123 Additionally, if the objects color is similar to the color of the background, motion can be hard to detect. The detection level depends on the object, resolution, or image quality. Confirm the condition on the Preview window following the procedure above.
