You can either switch MOTION DETECTION ON in the setup page or press the UP
button as a quick access button to turn MOTION DETECTION ON when the recorder is
in monitoring mode. Press the UP button again to turn MOTION DETECTION OFF.
Note: By default, motion detection mode will be activated every time the power is
switched on.

1. When motion detect is ON, it will enter self-learning mode (the upper-left icon will keep

flashing automatically for about 60 seconds). The self-learning mode means the software
will learn the current camera status to minimize false triggering. The recorder will enter
self-learning mode every time when you turn MOTION DETECTION ON

2. Don't walk through the detection area when in self-learning mode because it will lower

the detection sensitivity. When it triggers, the icon will become green and record a
picture (.jpg format) or a video (.avi format) depending on your capture settings.

3. This DVR will only record one channel at a time, and will not record in picture-in-

picture mode. Do not program motion detection while in picture-in-picture mode.

4. In order to prevent and avoid false triggers, we recommend:

a) Do not aim camera at the sun light
b) Aim camera away from constant moving objects
c) Avoid mirror and reflected light from bright surfaces
d) Avoid areas which have shadow variation

5. When aiming the camera, bright areas will be more sensitive than dark areas.

footage will be overwritten with new footage.
