Default Alarm Mode: Single zone independent alarm
Sequence Alarm Mode: Set the sequence of multi-zone alarms. Alarm will trigger if matched the configured zone sequence, otherwise alarm will not trigger.
Multi-zone Combined Alarm Mode: Alarm will trigger when number of combined alarming zones reaches the configured amount, otherwise alarm will not trigger.
Zone Trigger Ratio Alarm Mode: Configure the ratio of single small squares compared to the whole alarm zone, alarm will trigger when the ratio reached.
Maximum Time to Identify a Valid Multi-Zone Alarm Detection
If all preset zones have triggered an alarm within the configured time (in Seconds), this will be considered as a valid alarm/event, otherwise it will be an invalid alarm.
Minimum Number of Alarming Zones for a Valid Multi-Zone Alarm Detection
If set multi-zone alarm, when the number of detection zones where alarm triggered reaches the configured number, it is considered a valid alarm/event, otherwise it will be an invalid alarm. For example, the value is set 3 with total of 4 zones, when zones with triggered alarm get to 3, a valid alarm/event will be reported.
Minimum Number of Blocks Per Region to Trigger Detection
The threshold is the ratio of single small squares compared to the whole alarm zone, alarm will trigger when the ratio reached.
Minimum Duration Required to Trigger Motion Detection (ms)
The time when an object moving in the preset zone is longer than the configured duration, this is considered a valid alarm/event, otherwise it is invalid alarm/event.
