69
Region: Click the Setup button to set up the motion detection zone. Click and drag the mouse to define
the zone and right click to exit.
Sensitivity: The highest value is the most sensitive. This determines how easily motion alarm will be
triggered.
Anti-dither: This determines how long the motion alarm lasts. The maximum value is 600 seconds. For
example, if the value is set to 10 seconds, the motion alarm will last for 10 seconds even if the actual
motion event only lasts for a couple of seconds.
Period: This is to set the motion detection schedule.
Show message: System can pop up a local notification window when a motion event occurs.
Alarm upload: System can upload the alarm signal to the network.
Send email: System can send out a notification email when a motion event occurs.
Record channel: Select the channel to record to once a motion event occurs.
PTZ activation: PTZ cameras that are on the unit can be set to go to a specific preset when a motion
event occurs.
Delay: This is the post record time. The system can continue to record for the duration of the time that’s
specified after the motion alarm has ended. The value ranges from 10s to 300s.
Sequence: Choose which channels that the unit will sequence through when a motion event occurs.
Snapshot: Take a snapshot of the chosen channels when a motion event occurs.
Voice Prompts: Select an audio file to play when a motion event occurs. Files must be added first
through System->Digital Deterrent.

4.9.1.1 TCP/IP
The interface is shown in Figure 4-61.
IP Version: IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
MAC address: Shows the MAC address of the unit.
IP address: Shows the current IP address. If DHCP is disabled, a static IP address can be entered here.
Default gateway: Shows the current gateway. If DHCP is disabled, a gateway can be entered manually.
Note that the IP address and the default gateway must be in the same subnet.
DHCP: If this option is enabled and the unit is on network with DHCP capability, the unit will
automatically have an IP address assigned.
MTU: This sets the MTU value of the network adapter. This determines the maximum size of a packet in
any transmission. The value can range from 1280-1500 bytes. The default value is 1500. The following
MTU values are for reference only.
1500: Ethernet information packet max value and also the default value. This is the typical setup
when there is no PPPoE or VPN. It is the default setup of some routers, switches, and network
adapters.
1492: Recommend value for PPPoE.
1468: Recommend value for DHCP.
Preferred DNS server: DNS server IP address.
Alternate DNS server: DNS server alternate address.
LAN download: If the PC and the NVR are on the same local network, when downloading recordings to
the PC, this option will speed up the download. The download speed is 1.5X or 2.0X of the normal
speed.
After completing setup, click the save button and the system will return to the previous menu.
