Motion Detection on Your Dahua Camera

Configuring motion detection on a Dahua camera allows you to monitor specific areas and receive alerts whenever movement is detected. Here’s how to set it up:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Log in to the Camera’s Web Interface:

    • Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your Dahua camera to access its configuration page.
    • Use your login credentials to log into the camera’s interface.
  2. Navigate to Event Settings:

    • Go to the Event section in the menu.
    • Under the Event category, select Video Detection.
  3. Enable Motion Detection:

    • Find the motion detection option and toggle it to On.
  4. Set Detection Areas:

    • Define the areas within the camera’s view where you want to detect motion by selecting the zones on the interface. This can help avoid false alarms from irrelevant areas.
  5. Adjust Sensitivity:

    • Set the sensitivity level to determine how easily motion is detected. Higher sensitivity may detect smaller movements, while lower sensitivity might only trigger on larger movements.
  6. Link to Actions:

    • Configure what actions should occur when motion is detected. Options can include starting a recording, sending alert notifications, or triggering an alarm.
  7. Save Your Settings:

    • After configuring the above settings, ensure you save any changes to apply them to the camera.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you will have effectively configured motion detection
