2.24 Setting the Motion Detection
The Motion Detection page allows you to adjust sensitivity of the Motion Detection. 
Threshold: If the threshold is set low, this function sensitively detects changes.
Sensitivity: If you set sensitivity high, amplitude on the motion detection bar gets 
jumpy.
1.Click [Motion Detection] on the Setup page.
2.Click the Motion Detection bar in Threshold to set the threshold level.
3.Click the Motion Detection bar in Sensitivity to set the sensitivity level.
4.Click [Save] to save the settings.
 Clicking [Cancel] cancels your settings without saving changes.
5.Click [Go to Motion Detection page].
 The Motion Detection page is displayed.
SettingDescription
Threshold Adjust the threshold for Motion Detection. Setting the 
threshold lower allows subtler changes to be detected.
Sensitivity  If you set sensitivity high, amplitude on the motion 
detection bar gets jumpy.

Preview
The preview window displays current threshold and detection level.
 The threshold is displayed by between green and red bar.
 The detection level is displayed by between dark and light color.
Note
Setting Threshold and Sensitivity is enabled after saving, and reflect to 
preview. 
What is the motion detection?
We assume no responsibility whatsoever for any damages resulting from the use 
of the motion detection feature. We do not recommend the use of the motion 
detection function for supervisional purposes where high reliability is essential. 
The motion detection function is not suitable for this kind of usage.
What is the threshold?
The threshold is a value for this product 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 this product to detect as the motion. The 
high sensitivity setting enables this product to detect the slight brightness change. Lower the 
sensitivity to make this product to detect only the big brightness change.
Note
Lowering the threshold and heightening sensitivity enable this product easily 
to detect the trivial motion on the part of the image.
Notes
 The motion detection is activated by object outlines changes and the brightness 
changes. This feature is designed to alleviate false detections due to overall 
brightness changes caused by sunlight. But in this case, this product may falsely 
detect the rapid brightness changes by the artificial light such as the fluorescent 
light. In other cases, motion detection of Panasonic Network Camera Recorder 
detects whole objects and brightness changes. The way to detect motion differs 
between this product and Network Camera Recorder. Additionally, if the objects 
color is absorbed by the background color, this product 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.
Detect motions 
according to the 
threshold.When the level exceeds 
the threshold, this product 
detects motions.
