Recording
Motion
Motion Detection must be applied to specific cameras. If you assign Motion Detection to a camera,
that camera will only record when a motion event is triggered. The camera enabled with Motion
Detection will have a
WHITE number on the OSD (see figure 8.1).
NOTE: A white number can also indicate that recording on a camera has been disabled. For
better security it is highly recommended to keep continuous recording for all cameras on at
all times. Use caution when assigning motion detection to specific cameras.
When motion is detected by the camera, the motion icon will appear, and the channel number will
turn
RED (see figure 8.2).
NOTE: Press the CANCEL/ESC button on the remote control, front panel, or Virtual Remote to
clear the motion icon.
NOTE: If you assign motion detection to ALL cameras, the REC icon will not appear in the top-left
corner, but the "R" will remain in the status bar of the OSD.
