DX8100 MOTION DETECTION SETUP
Up to five motion detection profiles can be defined for each camera. When the DX8100 is scheduled to record motion detection, motion sensed
in the selected zone will result in video data being recorded for that channel. Motion detection can also be used to trigger relays, PTZ presets,
and recording on multiple cameras.
To define motion detection profiles for the selected camera:
1. On the DX8100 toolbar, click . The Setup dialog opens to the Camera page.
2. To set up the motion grid, do the following:
a. Select the motion zone (1-5) from the drop-down box.
b. Click the Hide/Show button to either hide or display the motion grid.
c. Move the Number of Blocks slider to change the grid size of the motion overlay.
3. Define the area for motion detection as follows:
a. Click Clear All to remove the currently defined motion detection area.
b. Click Select All to enable motion detection for the entire viewable area.
c. Hold down the left mouse button and drag to select areas.
d. Hold down the right mouse button and drag to deselect areas.
4. In the Motion Detection section, move the Sensitivity slider to adjust motion sensitivity. Moving the slider to the left decreases motion
sensitivity; moving the slider to the right increases sensitivity. The motion sensitivity window provides a visual indicator that helps you set
the sensitivity to the correct level, so that erroneous motion events caused by wind or other disturbances are avoided.
• The following figure shows the position of the red sensitivity indicator at a low sensitivity setting. In this case, a large motion level is
needed to cause the green motion indicator to exceed the red sensitivity indicator.
• The following figure shows the position of the red sensitivity indicator at a high sensitivity setting. In this case, a low motion level will
cause the green motion indicator to surpass the red sensitivity indicator.
• The following figure shows the position of the red sensitivity indicator at a medium 50% sensitivity setting (default). In this case, a
motion event is great enough to cause the green motion indicator to surpassed the red sensitivity indicator.
5. Click Apply.
