okay so i want to go over this really quick on event settings for motion detect
it's a little confusing and the manual is not very good online
so let's just say you want to get this um 7 camera on the motion detection
you enable it you go to settings and here you could determine what sensitivity and
threshold you want and so right now for red i'm going to have very high sensitivity like
95 or so 96 threshold the sensitivity is how sensitive the camera is threshold
is what small pixel change has to change for it to create a motion detect and i usually
put that to like eight so for red i do that and then as soon as you do that say okay and okay
if you don't do it right away sometimes the software is a little buggy and it doesn't take
so now we got red set now blue is going to be where i don't want any detection to occur
so i'm going to set the sensitivity to 0 and the threshold to 100.
so there'll never be any sensitivity like if i put make this blue in the corner
it will never pick up because the sensitivity is set to zero and the threshold set the 100
again hit okay and okay and it should save it sometimes if it doesn't save it that's
the only reason why i do that okay so let's say we want red this is the area we want to be
sensitive to changes so let's say i wanted this area to be sensitive to changes so i said that
i could hit okay okay remember sometimes you have to do it like that to get it to pick up okay now
i don't want any um sensitivity in certain other areas so i'm going to hit the blue and as you can
see it kept all the sensitivity and thresholds and i'm just going to fill the rest of the screen up
with blue which means nothing that happens in these areas is going to cause a motion detection
so we have that set to zero and one hundred we hit okay okay and um we go back and you can see
now the only area like if some movement occurs here it will create a motion detect and send you
an email or an application alert that there was changes in here i used this just to
show a simple example i mean when you go to a normal camera you know what you know what to do
so all this blue will not be picked up by motion only the red will be picked up by motion
and that's just about it that's the easy way to do it the manual is not very specific like
on some of the manuals i read that when you first start this motion setup up
all this is red so it's all sensitive but mine's not like that when when mine starts up it's
all clear and then you have to set up these these thresholds here for the region
and that should help you guys along if you have problems with the motion detection and you can
of course mess around with these settings for the red you could you could make it even higher
or lower or make it that requires more pixel changes to pick up the motion as well like there
okay and it did in addition to the red and blue there's also this yellow i forgot to go over this
so yellow is like you can make a medium kind of sensitivity and threshold so let's say
you want 55 sensitivity and threshold of like 20 or something so you could select that for yellow
i don't really see a need for a third region but it's available and then let's say you want
if a small amount of ch if a medium amount of change is made in this area you select the yellow
and it'll be the settings and hit ok ok and back into settings and
that one it only shows two at a time i don't know why it does that but as you can see it
does have the yellow there now i think what you can actually do is select that no you can't
but the third one i wouldn't even bother with but you can mess around with it and see if you
get like you know like if you're on a street or something like that and you don't want it to come
um active as much as it would on the sidewalk or something you would do the sidewalk in red and
this and yellow and if you don't want anything across the street you would make this blue
but i don't really see a big use for the yellow but that's how you set that up all right.
