Enable Video Motion: Select this box to enable the motion detection feature of your camera. If this option is selected, enter a level of sensitivity in the Sensitivity field adjacent to the video window. You also need to select the area of the video that you want to include or exclude for motion detection. You can choose to Draw motion area, whereby the selected area will be included for motion detection, or Erase motion area, whereby the selected area will be excluded from motion detection. To select an area, click and drag your mouse over the required area. Click Clear to delete all selections from the video window.

Enable PIR: When this option is selected, the camera will use PIR (Passive InfraRed) motion detection. If this option is enabled, select a PIR Sensitivity from the drop-down menu.
