Motion: Turn it on or off.
Sensitivity: Select a sensitivity level between 1 and 10 where 10 is the most sensitive.

any areas of the screen that are yellow.
b. A shortcut menu appears when you release the mouse button.
c. Choose an option that applies to the selected region: “Select” includes the region in your motion detection areas, “Deselect” removes
the region from your motion detection areas, and “Cancel” exits the shortcut menu and returns you to the Motion Area Setup screen
without altering the settings for the region.
d. After you are satisfied with the motion settings for a camera, click the OK button to return to the Record tab.

6. Move to the pre-motion duration field and select the number of seconds before the motion is detected that the DX4000 should start recording.

8. Click the Apply button to save the changes and continue to other settings. If you are finished updating settings, click the OK button to close
the screen.
