Zavio Motion Detection Setup
 Zavio IP Cameras support motion detection which can be used to trigger the camera to initiate actions such as motion detection recording. There are many other useful actions that can be taken based on motion detection. Click here for a complete list of the actions that are supported by Zavio or you can skip directly to the motion detection setup instructions.
Zavio IP cameras are capable of having multiple detection areas configured, each with a unique sensitivity and threshold level. Recording based on motion is very useful because it conserves a lot of storage space by only recording video when motion is detected. Motion detection is also very useful for integrating IP cameras with burglar alarms and other external devices. Please follow the instructions below to setup Motion Detection on your Zavio camera.
Although most users are most interested in motion detection recording and alerts, the following actions can be triggered by Zavio cameras based on the detection of motion.
- Recording of video to the camera's SD card (click here for cameras with SD card slots)
- Take snapshot image and save to the camera's SD card
- Record video to a network hard drive (NAS)
- Upload a snapshot to a network hard drive (NAS)
- FTP upload video to remote server
- FTP upload snapshot image to remote server
- Send email alert to email address via SMTP
- Call an external HTTP URL address
- Activate the camera's digital output (click here for cameras with digital IO ports)
- Enable night mode (supported by cameras with infrared night mode)
- Move camera to preset PTZ location (for PT and PTZ cameras)
- Record an audio clip (for models with built-in audio surveillance mics)
- Send a push video notification (click for supported models)
