Overview

On this page, you can configure motion detection parameters for the camera. When motion is detected within the camera’s frame, the NVR will activate the motion detection alarm.

Basic Settings

  • Switch: Enable or disable motion detection
  • Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity level. Higher numbers make the NVR more sensitive to motion detection, but it may correspondingly increase false detection

Important Notes about Motion Activated Security Camera Playback and Notifications

  • Playback and Notifications: Enabling the Motion Record Schedule is necessary for playback of motion-detected recordings and to trigger push notifications for motion events.
  • Push Notifications: If enabled, ensure the Motion Record Schedule is properly configured for notifications to work effectively with Camius View app

This process ensures seamless motion-triggered recording for selected cameras, enhancing both security and efficiency.
