A blue bar means the image variation is under the monitoring level, and no motion
detection alert is triggered. A red bar means the image variation is over the monitoring
level and a motion detected alert is triggered. When the bar goes red, the window that
the motion is detected in will also be outlined in red (note: remember that you can have
up to 3 windows selected for motion detection). You can return to the
DCS-2100
Home
Page and the monitored window will not be visible, but the red frame will show on the
home page when motion is detected.
Click to add a new window. A maximum of three motion windows
can be opened simultaneously. Use your mouse to drag the
