34 353.7 MOTION, VIDEO LOSS AND CAMERA MASKINGDETECTIONThe Event menu is a submenu of the Setting menu and contains the Motion Detectionsettings in addition to those for Video Loss and Camera Masking. Each channel can beindividually configured to respond to each event as you chose, or you can give all camerasidentical settings.The upper portion of this window is for setting the type of event, whether it is activated, andspecific parameters relating to event detection. The bottom portion of this window allows youto choose how the system will respond to these events.EVENTSEvent TypeEnableRegionTrigger PeriodAlarm OutShow Message Alarm upload Send EmailRecord ChannelPTZ ActivationTourSnapshotBuzzerHold TimeAlarm Continuesec.ChannelSensitivityMotion Detect 130sec.0Rec.

Youdo not need to set up Motion Detection in both sections but the NVR will use the schedulesfrom both menus to determine when to record Motion events.Channel – You can select an individual channel to configure or select All to give all ofyour cameras the same settings. You must have set that channel to record motiondetection in the Schedule menu as described in the previous section.Region – Clicking the Region button will bring up a grid overlaying that camera’s view.By default, each “block” of the grid will have ared hue indicating that it is sensitive to motiondetection. Clicking in a block will make it clearmeaning that motion detection has beenturned off for that area. Turning off motiondetection in selected areas is useful forsituations when there is frequent movementby inanimate objects such as flags or wind-blown trees and this will reduce false alerts.You can click and drag the mouse to turnoff multiple blocks at the same time and youcan deactivate motion detection in multiple,separate, areas of the screen.Sensitivity – The system supports six levels of sensitivity with Level 6 being the mostsensitive.VIDEO LOSSBy default, this is enabled. In the event that the NVR detects a loss of signal from a camera,it will send out a notification or activate other functions based on your settings in the lowerportion of the Event window.CAMERA MASKINGThis is also enabled by default. If the system detects that something has covered a camera, itwill respond based on your settings in the lower portion of the window.EVENT RESPONSEThe lower portion of the Event window determines what actions the NVR will initiate upondetection of one of the three event types. Responses to a specific type of event can beindividually tailored to each camera, but the response to different types of events must be setindependently of each other. (ie: The response settings for a motion detection event do notchange the settings for a video loss event – even if you’ve set identical responses.)PICTURE 3-28PICTURE 3-29Trigger Period - This is where you set theschedule of when you want the NVRto record motion events. It operatesin the same manner as the Schedulemenu as described in Section3.6 with six blocks of time that canbe laid out for recording to occurduring a day. Not all blocks have tobe configured or enabled. You canconfigure each day individually, oryou can make separate schedules forweek days and weekends.SetSunMonTueWedThuFriSatMon00 :00 -24 :0000 :00 -24 :0000 :00 -24 :0000 :00 -24 :0000 :00 -24 :0000 :00 -24 :00Copy Paste Default Save Cancel0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24To reactivate motion detection, simply repeat the process in the deactivated blocks and theywill regain their red hue and detect motion as normal.You cannot use Copy/Paste in Motion Detection because each channel will have a differentdisplay. Right-clicking will exit the screen and your settings will be saved.
