How do I use motion detection on a Sapphire Series camera?

 

In order to use motion detection on your Sapphire series camera, make sure to check in with your client support manager. They'll get everything set up.

 

Note: Motion detection alerts are only available to admin-level users.

 

To configure your motion detection settings, first, click the Admin button at the top of the interface, then click Motion Detection.

Once in the admin console, scroll to the camera with motion detection turned on. It will say Configured and Enabled next to its name.

Under Workday Schedule, there are three options: Never, Always and Between. Selecting Never will disable motion detection alerts during the week. Selecting Always will detect all motion during the week. The Between option will allow you to input the jobsite's approximate work hours, meaning alerts will only come in after-hours.

The same options exist for the weekend as well.

Add a sleep timer to your alerts by modifying the "Sleep time after an alert" text box.
