Motion Detection

Setup

INSTAR 720p Camera Series

To activate the motion detection, open the web interface of your INSTAR HD IP camera and click on the menu Alarm / Areas.

You can select which area of the video the motion detection should be armed in the Areas Overlay. Therefore, please select the Area on the right side for which you want to do the settings. Next please click Active.

You will see that the area which you have set to Active is now showing a colour. Also on top the number for the area activated will light up in red to symbolize that this area is active. By simply clicking into the picture and dragging your mouse you can choose the area for motion detection. The motion detection will be armed in the area you have selected. In case you want to select the whole area you can click "Full Area" on the right side in order to activate the motion detection over the whole picture. Now you can use the slide bar to set the sensitivity for the motion.

1 = Insensitive (almost no motion gets detected) 100 = Very Sensitive (almost every motion will be recorded)

We recommend you so leave the motion sensitivity at 50 and slowly test which setting will deliver the best result.

Repeat the above steps in case you want to set more than one area. Each area will be given a different colour:

• Area 1 = red
• Area 2 = blue
• Area 3 = green
• Area 4 = yellow

Submit the settings in order to save all settings in the camera.

You will need to select an Action so that the camera knows what it should do in case of an alarm. Please open the menu Alarm / Actions.

Here you can now set if the camera should send you an email with snapshots in the attachment or if the pictures should be saved to an SD card or an FTP server. In order to save pictures or videos to an SD card please make sure an SD card in inserted in your camera.

Finally, please Submit the settings.
