Motion Detection

 Configuration ( in Local Save and FTP Upload )

  - Motion Detection<br>
must be checked to enable motion detection<br>&nbsp;


  - Motion Trigger<br>
this is the trigger value for motion detection. A low value will detect motion easily, a high value will require lots of motion to detect it.<br>&nbsp;

  - Current Value<br>
The currently detected motion level<br>&nbsp;


  - Ignore first X seconds<br>
Set this to something > cam startup time to avoid false detections while camera is starting up
or to a higher value to allow you to walk away until detection starts<br>&nbsp; 


  - No motion detection during moves<br>
check this is you use a TPZ device and you don't want moves to be detected. 
Shots detected while moving may have motion blur. This depends on the shutter speed of your camera.<br>&nbsp;


  - Start detecting when user is idle for X minutes
if this is checked, AbelCam will check for keyboard activity and start detecting when no key has been pressed for X minutes<br>&nbsp; 


  - Email on Motion<br>&nbsp; 

     - Email address to send picture to<br>
obvious, isn't it?<br>&nbsp; 

     - Mail Server<br>
SMTP server to use when sending email<br>&nbsp; 

     - Send Email on motion detection<br>
check this to activate sending out emails<br>&nbsp; 

     - Send email when camera does not work<br>
this sends out a notification when the camera fails<br>&nbsp; 

     - Attach Picture<br>
check this to have a picture included in the email<br>&nbsp; 

     - Email only every X hours<br>
if X is set > 0, AbelCam will not send a email on every detected motion.
Instead the program waits until two hours have elapsed to reactivating sending out emails.<br>&nbsp; 

     - Test<br>

  - Motion sound<br>
check this to play a sound when motion is detected
you may choose a sound file<br>&nbsp; 

  - Test Sound<br>
Click here to make sure the sound file can be played<br>&nbsp; 

 Local Save

  - To store motion detection shots on your disk, you must have both **Local Save Active** and **Motion Detection** checked.<br>&nbsp; 

  - Within the save interval, the Motion Trigger will be raised at the latest detected level.<br>
Only the shot with the highest motion level will be stored.<br>&nbsp; 

  - If no motion has been detected, no file will be saved.<br>&nbsp; 

 FTP Upload

  - To upload motion detection shots to your FTP server, you must have both **FTP Active** and **Motion Detection** checked.<br>&nbsp; 

  - Within the save interval, the Motion Trigger will be raised at the latest detected level.<br>
Only the shot with the highest motion level will be uploaded.<br>&nbsp; 

  - If no motion has been detected, no file will be uploaded.<br>&nbsp; 


 Video Save (available with !VideoCapX interface)

  - For **Record Single Frame on Motion Detection**, the **Local Save** motion detection settings will be used.
