MOTION ALARMS SETUP
Alarm settings for camera motion alarms are set independently from other alarms. Similar to setting up alarm settings, you can select the
severity of motion alarms, set the pre- and post-alarm recording for motion alarms, and create a separate comment for logs.
Figure 47. Cameras Motion Alarm Settings Tab
To set up motion alarm settings:
1. Select the Motion tab. If necessary, select the Motion Alarm Settings tab.
2. Select the camera to be configured from the camera list.
3. Select the Severity: Minor, Normal, Major, or Critical.
4. For Pre-alarm and Post-alarm, select the recording interval to record before and after the motion alarm event. The default recording interval
for Pre-alarm is 5 seconds.
NOTE: Setting the Pre-alarm to 0 (zero) seconds may cause you to miss vital video associated with an alarm, especially when storing video
at 1 image every 2 seconds or slower. If you are recording at one of the sub- 1 image per second rates, Pelco recommends setting the
Pre-alarm setting to match the recording rate (that is, set the Pre-alarm to 2 seconds minimum if recording at 1 image every 2 seconds).
Mouse:
• Click the mouse in a list to select an item.
• Click a time segment, and then click the up or down arrow to increase or decrease the interval.
[Control panel:
• Use the joystick to select an item in a list, and then press Enter/Shift.
• Move the joystick up or down to select an item in a list or to change a time.]
5. Click Apply to save the settings.
6. If necessary, click Apply To All Cameras.
