Last Updated 20 hours ago
Use this article to send a motion event to your NVR/VMS (the recording system) when someone uses the keyboard or the mouse of this PC. For example, the NVR/VMS can record only while someone uses the PC.
Before you start
Your NVR/VMS must support ONVIF motion events.
Turn on motion events
Click Stop.
Open Video & Audio Settings and select the screen.
Set Motion events to Enable.
Click the settings button next to Motion events.
In Configure Motion, set each event to Enable or Disable:
- Keyboard: someone presses a key.
- Mouse click: someone clicks a mouse button.
- Mouse move: someone moves the mouse.
- API call: your own program sends the event.
If Keyboard is set to Enable, choose Any Key or Specific Key.
If you chose Specific Key, click the box and press the key or key combination.
Click Close.
Click Start.
In your NVR/VMS, set this camera to use its motion events, for example to record on motion. See the manual of your NVR/VMS.
If it does not work
- If the NVR/VMS shows no events, check that Motion events is set to Enable for the screen that the NVR/VMS records. Each screen has its own setting.
- Also check that the NVR/VMS uses the motion events of this camera.
