- Adjust the area of detection by clicking and dragging on the red squares. Red squares are where motion will be detected. Clear squares are where motion will not be detected. Right Click to exit, and select Apply.
Sensitivity: Determines how sensitive the zone is to movement. 1 being the lowest and 100 the highest. (30-70 is recommended)
Threshold: Determines the minimum size of an object that can trigger motion detection. 1 Being the lowest and 100 the highest (1-10 is recommended).
