M Series Motion Detection

[gp116126]

Hello Chaps

Finally replaced my 7608k28p with the equivalent M series. Swapped cameras fine, no issues. Thanks JB for your advice about 12 months ago. (Takes me a long time to get round to stuff).

The only question I have. I can't seem to find the motion detection settings for each camera in the nvr GUI. On the old K that I ran 3.0 on without upgrading to 4, it was obvious as it said motion and then you could select squares on the live feed for each camera to refine the detection area.

That's what I'm looking for on the M series. Not yet upgraded from version 4.0 software.

Grateful if somebody could help.

It depends whether you're doing it on the local interface or using a browser. On the local interface click the Config (gear wheel) icon then Events (I think...I'm on V5 so can't remember exactly but it should be fairly obvious). Using a web browser it's Configuration > Event > Basic Event > Motion (tab)

Spot on found it. Thank you very much JB. Does lead to another question though.

On playback with version 3 I could see green motion detection lines on the timeline. Can't see any of these now on any cameras. Whether this be normal view or smart view. I have confirmed that motion detection is being logged.

In the local UI - go into the storage menu > advanced (I think) and there's a tick box that's off by default "Save camera VCA data". Tick that and the markers should begin to populate for future events.

Thank you again I'll give that one a go.
