installation of the HDD.
7. Advanced Functions
“Advanced Motion Detection Setting” allows you to adjust different sensitivity factors based on a different
environment. “Quick Event Search” allows you to examine the setting of motion detection factors. In this way, you
can use specific motion detection setting to capture every important image.
a. Motion Detection Setting
1. LS: The sensitivity of comparing two different images. The smaller the value, the more sensitive the detection will
become.
Application ~
＊Environment vibration ＊Light shift
＊Shadow ＊Mirror reflection
2. SS: The sensitivity towards the size of the triggered object on the screen. The smaller the value, the more
sensitive the detection will become.
Application ~
＊Different size of the object on the screen.
3. TS: The sensitivity towards how long the object gets triggered. The smaller the value, the more sensitive the
detection will become.
Application ~
＊Different speed of the moving object
4. 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 more sensitive the detection will become.
Application ~
＊Slow and regular environment change
Scenario: Warehouse
Different environments may require different settings. The sample below is for reference only.
LS SS TS RE
Entrance 10 2 2 10
Back Door 8 1 2 10
Pavement 5 2 2 10
Window 12 2 10 10

DVR4MQAE - 7 - VELLEMAN
Note 1: The real appropriate setting value will depend on the real situation (such as the angle of the lens, the
distance between the camera and object etc…)
Note 2: Refer to “9.g. Advance Menu_Detection” for detail setting.
b. Network Backup
You can easily use the licensed software AP to backup the recorded files to PC and playback the backup videos. For
detailed operation, refer to “10.f. Licensed Software AP”.
8. Operation
