d) LS :

The sensitivity of comparing two different images. The smaller the value is,
the higher sensitivity for motion detection.
The highest sensitivity setting is 00, the lowest sensitivity setting is 15. The
default value is 07.

e) SS :

The sensitivity towards the size of the triggered object on the screen.(the
number of motion detection grids). The smaller the value is, the higher
sensitivity for motion detection.
The highest sensitivity setting is 00, and the lowest sensitivity setting is 15.
The default setting is 03.

Note: The default setting of Spatial Sensitivity is 03, which means when 3 grids

are detected for motion at one time, the system will get triggered. So the
value of Spatial Sensitivity must be less than the number of grids which you
set up to motion detection area.

f) TS :

The sensitivity towards how long the object gets triggered. The smaller the
value is, the higher sensitivity for motion detection.
The highest sensitivity setting is 00, and the lowest sensitivity setting is 15.
The default setting is 02.

g) RE :

The value of RE is a reference for detection. The default value is 10, which
means DVR will compare 10 continuous images at one time according to
the sensitivity of LS, SS, TS simultaneously. Therefore the bigger the value
is, the higher sensitivity for motion detection.
