The highest sensitivity setting is 00 and the lowest sensitivity setting is 15.
The default value is 07.
e) SS :
The sensitivity regarding the size of the triggered object on the screen (the
number of motion detection grids). The smaller the value, 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 once a object
is detected more than 3 grids, the system will get triggered. So the value
of Spatial Sensitivity must be less than the number of grids that you set
up for the motion detection area.
f) TS :
The sensitivity regarding how long the object gets triggered. The smaller
the value, the higher motion detection sensitivity will be.
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. The bigger the value, the
higher sensitivity for motion detection. The highest sensitivity is 61.
h) ALARM:
Select LOW / HIGH for the alarm polarity. The default alarm value is OFF.
