How to use
If you have multiple cameras connected to your computer, you will see them listed in a pop-up window with checkboxes to select the ones you want to add to your computer. You can add up to four cameras, and the added cameras will immediately start displaying a preview in the user interface.
The Quick Access Toolbar appears on the right side of the program window, but you can hide it. Here you can make some necessary settings, such as triggers that prompt the software to perform certain actions. You can set it to record at certain intervals or when motion is detected.
The trigger panel allows you to set the level of motion that triggers the action. Setting it low allows the software to trigger when small movements are detected, but setting it too low can result in false alarms. You can set it to highlight movements in red, green or blue, and the camera preview border in red.
You then select the action to be taken when motion is detected and press the "Start Monitoring" button.
Advanced motion detection triggers alerts. You can adjust the sensitivity of the detection and mask the camera view areas to avoid false alarms.
