2.5.3 Motion Detection Recording
Motion detection recording starts when the [Threshold] value is exceeded. Set the [Threshold] value for each camera. (→ Motion Detection Page)
Motion detection recording can only be set up for cameras that connect in JPEG format. If the MPEG-4/H.264 format is selected, change the format to JPEG. (→ Image Settings Page)
1.
From the multi-monitoring window, select a camera for motion detection recording.
A green frame is displayed around the selected camera.
2.
Click   and select [Start Motion Detection Recording] from the menu displayed.
Starts motion detection recording by the selected camera.
To stop recording from a camera, select the camera, click  , and select [Stop Motion Detection Recording] from the menu which is displayed.
Note
Recording will not stop even if you close the operating window with .
When  is displayed in the notification area, the recording software is running. (→ 1.2.2 Closing the Operation Window)
The motion detection level you have set may not be sufficient for motion detection recording depending on the resolution, image quality, the recording subject, and network environment.
To ensure proper operation, test the motion detection recording on the motion detection monitoring window (→ Motion Detection Page) and adjust the motion detection level as necessary.
Motion detection commands can be selected and executed. (→ Setting the motion detection method)
Recording can be performed for a specified number of seconds before or after motion is detected. (→ Setting the motion detection method)
When motion is detected just after the start time or just before the end time specified in the timer recording settings, the recording time may be shortened. Recording may also be shortened when motion is detected just after motion detection is started or just before motion detection is stopped manually.
Example: You have set images to be recorded 5 seconds before and after motion detection. If 1 second before motion detection, motion detection recording starts, and then finishes 2 seconds after motion detection, images from the first 4 seconds before motion detection and the last 3 seconds after motion detection are not recorded.
If after-motion detection recording and before-motion detection recording overlap, a continuous image is recorded.
Example: You have set images to be recorded 5 seconds before and after motion detection.
Detection notifications and images captured at detections can be sent to specified E-mail addresses. (→ 1.5.3 Setting E-mail notification)
