Configuring Motion Detection is a science. It may be hard in your environment to find the correct values to avoid false alarms.
You can play with Sensitivity and Motion Detection Areas to get best results. To help you with the configuration of Motion Detection, AbelCam has the Show Motion feature. When enabled, a motion detection bar is overlayd on the image for each motion detector.
Example
Magenta bar: Local Save
Cyan bar: FTP Upload
Yellow bar: Video Save on Motion Detection
The current trigger level is shown as a while line labeled with L for Local Save.
For Video Save, the letter is V when not recording, K when recording (see keep recording setting)
For Local Save and FTP upload you see a line well above the current trigger level. This is the motion level of the image which is to be saved next.
