ACTIVITY DETECTION MASK SETUP
Activity detection continually monitors selected camera inputs for motion. When motion is
detected, the multiplexer increases the frequency with which that camera(s) is shown and
recorded. Activity detection is most effective when only a few cameras are showing activity.
As the number of cameras with activity increases, the slower the frequency at which they
can be shown and recorded. If all 16 cameras show activity, there will be virtually no
increase.
