In the main menu, from Setting->Event->Detect, you can see motion detect interface.

There is three detection types: motion detection, video loss, tampering.

The video loss has no detection region and sensitivity setup and tampering has no detection region setup.

you can see motion detect icon if current channel has enabled motion detect alarm.

you can drag you mouse to set motion detect region. Please click OK button to save current region setup. Right click mouse to exit current interface.

For digital channel, the detect function refers to support detection function of the front-end and support local activation function. The front-end can get enable/disable status, sensitivity and region setup. you can get corresponding prompt if front-end can not get the above information. you can change front- end setup if it can get.

Motion detect: After analysis video, system can generate a video loss alarm when the detected moving signal reached the sensitivity you set here.

event type: From the dropdown list you can select motion detection type.

channel: Select a channel from the dropdown list to set motion detect function.

enable: Check the box here to enable motion detect function.

The corresponding color zone displays different detection zone. After you completed the setup, please click ENTER button to exit current setup. Do remember click save button to save current setup. If you click mouse right button to exit the region setup interface system will not save your zone setup.

sensitivity: System supports 6 levels. The sixth level has the highest sensitivity.

anti-dither: Here you can set anti-dither time. The value ranges from 5 to 600s. The anti-dither time refers to the alarm signal lasts time. It can be seem as the alarm signal activation stays such as the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, channel record. The stay time here does not include the latch time. During the alarm process, the alarm signal can begin an anti-dither time if system detects the local alarm again. The screen prompt, alarm upload, email and etc will not be activated. For example, if you set the anti-dither time as 10 second, you can see the each activation may last 10s if the local alarm is activated. During the process, if system detects another local alarm signal at the fifth second, the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, record channel will begin another 10s while the screen prompt, alarm upload, email will not be activated again. After 10s, if system detects another alarm signal, it can generate an alarm since the anti-dither time is out.

96

Period: Click set button, you can see an interface is shown below.

Here you can set motion detect period. System only enables motion detect operation in the specified periods. It is not for video loss or the tampering. There are two ways for you to set periods. Please note system only supports 6 periods in one day.

Please highlight icon to select the corresponding function. After all the setups please click save button, system goes back to the previous menu. note: in motion detection mode, you can not use copy/paste to set channel setup since the video in each channel may not be the same. Motion detect only has relationship with the sensitivity and region setup. it has no relationship with other setups.

98

Video loss

This function allows you to be informed when video loss phenomenon occurred. you can enable alarm output channel and then enable show message function.

tampering

When someone viciously masks the lens, or the output video is in one-color due to the environments light change, the system can alert you to guarantee video continuity.

you can enable Alarm output or Show message function when tampering alarm occurs.

99

sensitivity: The value ranges from 1 to 6. It mainly concerns the brightness. The level 6 has the higher sensitivity than level 1. The default setup is 3. note: in Motion detection interface, copy/paste function is only valid for the same type, which means you can not copy a channel setup in video loss mode to tampering mode. about default function. since detection channel and detection type may not be the same, system can only restore default setup of current detect type. For example, if you click default button at the tampering interface, you can only restore default tampering setup. it is null for other detect types. system only enables tampering function during the period you set here. it is null for motion detect or video loss type.

alarm

before operation, please make sure you have properly connected alarm devices such as buzzer.
