Video Detection

Video detection adopts computer vision and image processing technology. The technology analyzes the video images to detect the obvious changes such as moving objects and blurriness. The system activates alarms when such changes are detected.

Configuring Motion Detect Settings

When the moving object appears and moves fast enough to reach the preset sensitivity value, the system activates the alarm.

To configure the motion detect settings, do the following:

Step 1 Select Main Menu > ALARM > VIDIEO DETECT > Motion Detect.

The Motion Detect interface is displayed.
