Why Motion Detection and Motion Alerts Matter
Motion-based recording helps your system focus on the footage that matters most. Instead of reviewing long stretches of uneventful video, motion events are easier to locate and review. Motion alerts add another layer of convenience by notifying your phone or tablet when selected cameras detect activity.
Open the SureVision NVR Motion Recording Schedule
Start from Live View, right click, and open Menu. After logging in, click the Storage tab. Make sure Enable Schedule is checked, then click the Motion tab.
Fill the Motion Schedule
Once you are on the Motion tab, click and hold in the upper-left box of the schedule grid, then drag down to the lower-right box. When the schedule is filled correctly, the selected motion schedule should turn green.
