Get Started

Immediately after launching the application you will see the application window which will display the area as seen from your camera. This will help you adjust your camera to capture the area that you wish to monitor.

The application window will also contain the “Motion Indicator” light and the “Start” button. If movement is detected, the motion indicator will momentarily turn red. Clicking Start will activate the application. When active, the application will perform all actions configured by the user upon the detection of movement. You can learn more about these configurations here.

Before pressing Start we recommend that you open the settings and go to the Detection tab. It is necessary to adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection process for your particular hardware. Click here to learn how to do so.
