▲▼◄►: navigates between targets.

d) LS :

The sensitivity of comparing two different images. The smaller the value, the higher the sensitivity for motion detection. The highest sensitivity setting is 00, and 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, the higher the 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 (SS) is 03, which means when 3

grids are detected for any 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 for the motion detection area.

f) TS

: The sensitivity towards how long the object gets triggered. The smaller the value, the higher the 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 the DVR will compare 10 continuous images at one time according to the sensitivity of LS, SS, TS simultaneously. Therefore, the bigger the value, the higher the sensitivity for motion detection. The highest sensitivity is 61.
