Refer to the follow instructions to configure motion detection settings for the DVR5100:

Figure 72. Camera Configuration: Motion Tab
From the DVR5100 you can configure motion detection zones and alarms settings for live and recorded video. The Motion tab provides the
following tabs to configure motion detection:
• Zones: Use this tab to define a maximum of three overlapping regions on the screen in which to detect motion. For each zone you can
set a different sensitivity level and threshold as follows:
• Sensitivity: This setting determines how much or little motion is required within individual block is to trigger motion detected.
Valid values are 1 (less sensitive) through 100 (very sensitive). Recommended values are 80 to 99.
• Threshold: This setting determines the number of blocks or percentage of blocks that must detect motion for the alarm to be
triggered. The default threshold is 1%.
• Enable Alarm: Checking “Enable Alarm” determines whether alarms will be triggered by motion in the defined zone. By default
this setting is not enabled.
• Alarms: Use this tab to determine the alarm severity that is broadcast when motion is detected in a zone. Severity levels include
Minor (the default setting), Normal, Major, or Critical. This, in turn, determines which users receive notification of the alarm. You can
also set the length of pre-alarm video that you want to record along with the duration of the recording after the alarm has been
received. Any comments that you want to appear in the system log are also entered on this tab.
