12. MOTION SETUP
MOTION DETECTION
In many situations recording that occurs when
there is no motion (such as an empty hallway) is
not necessary and will detract from space that
could be used for times when there are motion.
Motion setup allows configuration of motion
detection and recording for each channel.
