How To Setup Motion Detection In Amcrest View Pro 2

The motion detection menu allows the user to modify and adjust motion detection settings associated with your device. This option will be enabled by default, however, for more information about the motion detection menu, please refer to the information provided below. 

Step 1: Open the Amcrest View Pro 2 app and select your device, tap on the settings (gear wheel), access the Configuration Center, tap Motion Detection, and select Motion Detection. 

Step 2: Ensure the Enable and Advanced Configuration options are enabled and modify any settings if needed. The settings are as follows: 

Schedule: To set a schedule, select a day and a period, then use the time range provided to set the schedule. Tap the checkmark and tap Save to apply the schedule to your device. 

Anti-dither: This feature helps prevent false alarms and unnecessary event triggers. It works by setting a minimum time interval between two consecutive events. This means that if an event is triggered, the camera will ignore any subsequent events within the specified anti-dither time period. This helps to reduce the number of false alarms caused by minor disturbances or fluctuations in the environment.

Sensitivity: The sensitivity controls how easily the camera's motion detection feature is triggered. 100 is the most sensitive 1 is the least, 60 is a recommended value to help reduce false alarms. 

Region Setting: Used to modify the detection area. This will be full screen by default, however can be modified using the available options. 

Record: Enable or disable motion detection recordings from being retained on a microSD or hard drive. 

Delay: A setting that determines how long the camera will continue recording after a motion detection event has ended. This feature is useful for ensuring that you capture the entire incident, even if the motion stops briefly.

Alarm Output: Enable or disable the ability to trigger an external alarm if configured to the camera. 

Snapshot: Enable to disable the ability to send a snapshot of the motion event in an email alert notification.

Email Alerts: Enable or disable the ability to send Email notifications can be set in this menu by enabling Email Alerts. For more information on how to setup email alerts, click here.
