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

home page when motion is detected.
