MOTION DETECTION SETUP
The DVR5100 allows you to select three different zones per camera for the built-in video motion detection. Each zone can be enabled and
configured independently. Each zone allows an unlimited number of areas to be designated as corresponding to the parameters of that zone.
When setting up each zone, select “Activate zone” to enable video motion detection in that zone (refer to Figure 46).

schedule. Activate Zone allows you to show or hide the pixel changes in live view, trigger a motion-based recording schedule, and receive
motion alarm notifications.

settings are appropriate for the scene.
8. Select Undo to revert back to the original settings
9. Select Clear to delete all of the defined motion detection zones.
