Using Your Appliance
The Motion Mask Tab
The following controls are available on the Motion Mask tab:
Use the Motion Sensitivity Mask to configure your Camera Motion sensor to ignore movement that is 
detected in specified regions of the image capture. To mask a portion of the image, click and drag in the 
image to draw a box around the region you want to ignore. Then click Mask Selection to mask the 
selected region. Red X’s will appear in the region of the image in which movement will be ignored.
To unmask a portion of a previously masked region, click and drag in the image to draw a box around the 
region you want to unmask. Then, click Unmask Selection to remove the mask from the selected region. 
Any red X’s that were displayed in the selected region will then be removed.
Type the new values in the appropriate fields. When you are finished, click OK and any changes you 
have made will be saved to the appliance. Click Cancel to close the Camera Motion Configuration 
window without saving any changes.
The Block Out Mask Tab
The following controls are available on the Block Out Mask tab:
Use the Block Out Mask to configure your camera so that specified areas of the image cannot be seen. 
For example, you could place a Block Out Mask over the area of the image that shows a monitor image, 
thereby preventing users from seeing the information that is shown on the monitor. Instead, a gray box 
will appear in the masked area.
Field
Description
Sensitivity
The Sensitivity setting specifies how much change in a portion 
of the image capture will be tolerated before the changed image 
data is considered movement. Lower values indicate less 
tolerance for change between images and therefore higher 
sensitivity.
Area of Motion
The Area of Motion setting specifies how large an area of the 
image capture must change (as determined by the Sensitivity 
value) before the changed image data is considered movement. 
Lower Area of Motion values indicate smaller areas and 
therefore higher sensitivity.

image that is displayed in the Sensor Pane as well.
