Motion Detection - Trigger Value

I'm having difficulty getting MD to work properly. I get false alarms if the sensitivity is raised, but no alarms when it's too low even though it should detect motion (me walking in front of the cam).

So I'd like to experiment with trigger values. Does anyone know what the range of acceptable values is? The documentation is silent on this.

Thanks.

While the trigger range was not documented it's easy to find out.

Just set sensitivity very high and move your hand in front of the camera.

The Motion Detection configuration forms show the current motion value.

Generate some motion in front of the camera and keep an eye on the current motion value to adjust both sensitivity and the trigger value.

Got it, thanks. I'll give it a go.
