Once in the zone editing mode, you will see the camera’s live view with overlay options to define motion zones.
Customizing the Zones
Using the interface, draw or select areas within the camera’s view to activate or deactivate motion detection. You can typically create multiple zones and adjust their size and position for optimal coverage.
Tips for Effective Zone Customization
- Focus on high-traffic or vulnerable areas.
- Avoid zones with frequent non-threatening motion, like trees or shadows.
- Test the zones after setup to ensure accurate detection.
