How to Enable Person Detection Camera Notifications (Camius Wireless Cameras)

The Camius WF4KN wireless NVR with WF4KC2 wireless cameras can record short clips and send push notifications to your phone whenever a person is detected. On the Camius network video recorder menus this option is called Pedestrian, while in the Camius View app it appears as Person. Both mean the same thing — human-only detection.

Follow these steps to enable it:

Step 1 – Enable Pedestrian Detection in the NVR

  1. On your NVR, go to Setup → Alarm → Motion Detection.
  2. Select the camera channel you want to configure.
  3. Under Switch, choose Pedestrian (recommended for person-only detection)
    • Disable = no detection.
    • Motion = any movement.
    • Pedestrian = person detection only.
  4. Click Area to draw the zones where you want detection (avoid trees, busy roads, or moving shadows).
  5. Adjust Distance to set how far detection should reach.
  6. Check Event Push Platform so the NVR can send alerts to the app.
  7. Click Apply to save.

See User Manual: Chapter 4.3.1, pp. 28–29

  4. Click Apply to save.

Step 3 – Configure Recording Schedule

Setting the recording schedule ensures that the NVR saves clips whenever Pedestrian detection is triggered.

1- Go to Setup → Recording → Recording Schedule.

2- Select the same camera channel.

3- In the schedule grid

  • Yellow = Pedestrian event-based recording.
  • Green = Continuous recording
  • Black = No recording.

4- Select Motion/Pedestrian and drag across the times you want.

5- Use Copy to apply to other channels if needed.

6- Click Apply to save.

See User Manual: Chapter 4.2.2.2, pp. 26–27 or check the details guide on the wireless camera recording
