What is the threshold?
The threshold is a 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 bigger changes that might occupy 
half the image to be detected.
What is the sensitivity?
The sensitivity is the brightness change level for the camera to detect as the 
motion. The high sensitivity setting enables the camera to detect the slight 
brightness change. Lower the sensitivity to make the camera to detect only the big 
brightness change.
Note
Lowering the threshold and heightening sensitivity enable the camera easily to 
detect the trivial motion on the part of the image.
Threshold
Detect motions 
according to the 
threshold.When the level exceeds 
the threshold, the camera 
detects motions.

Note
 The motion detection is activated by object outlines changes and the 
brightness changes. This feature is designed to alleviate false detections 
by overall brightness changes due to sunlight. But in this case, the camera 
may falsely detect the rapid brightness changes by the artificial light such 
as the fluorescent light. In other cases, motion detection by the Network 
Camera Recorder detects whole objects and brightness changes. The 
way to detect motion differs between the camera and Network Camera 
Recorder. Additionally, if the objects color is absorbed by the background 
color, the camera is hard to detect the motions.
 The detecting level depends on the object, resolution, or image quality. 
Confirm the condition on the Preview window with following the above 
procedure when setting the Motion Detection.
