    - Motion masks and motion windows
      Depending on the camera type, you can edit motion settings by using motion masks or motion windows. A motion mask, can reduce unwanted video recording by ignoring motion events that occur in specified areas of a camera’s view. A motion window, records when motion is detected within a specified area.

Motion mask settings

A motion mask can reduce unwanted video recordings by ignoring motion events that occur in specified areas of a cameras view.

The following figure illustrates an example of the Motion tab when multiple masks are supported by the camera.

Table 1. Motion tab in the Camera Settings window with masking
Interface element	Description
Pre Motion (sec) slider	Adjust the number of seconds of video that you can save before an event occurs.
Post Motion (sec) slider	Adjust the number of seconds of video that you can save after an event occurs.
Motion Masks pane	Reduce the number of motion alarm events, by using the Smooth Begin and the Smooth End sliders. Smooth Begin is the minimum number of seconds for motion to occur before a motion alarm activates. This prevents very brief motion occurrences from triggering a motion event alarm. Smooth End is the minimum number of seconds without motion before a motion alarm event is complete. It combines a continuous series of short motion occurrences into a single motion alarm event.
	Create up to three motion masks to block out areas where you do not want to monitor motion. Each motion mask that you create is assigned a number in the Mask Number table. You can have a maximum of three motion masks, this feature must be supported by your camera.
	To create an additional mask, click Add.
	To erase a motion mask, select the mask number from the table, then click Remove.
Area Configuration pane	Adjust how much motion must occurs in the camera’s view in order to trigger motion recording, by using the Sensitivity slider. A low sensitivity setting can reduce false motion, such as video noise or shadows.
