not send out any signals to trigger motion-based recording to the NVR or CMS, even if there is
motion in the video.
Alarm Holding Time: it refers to the time that the alarm extends for after an alarm ends. For
instance, if the alarm holding time is set to 20 seconds, once the camera detects a motion, it will
go to alarm and would not detect any other motion in 20 seconds. If there is another motion
detected during this period, it will be considered as continuous movement; otherwise it will be
considered as a single motion.
Alarm Out: If selected, this would trigger an external relay output that is connected to the
camera on detecting a motion based alarm.
Trigger Audio Alarm: If selected, the warning voice will be uttered on detecting a motion
based alarm. (Please set the warning voice first. See Audio Alarm for details).
Note: Only some models support audio alarm function. If your device doesn’t support this

Tracking Mode: PTZ Auto Tracking Priority or Manual PTZ Control Priority can be
optional.
PTZ Tracking Priority: if this mode is selected, in smart tracking mode, you cannot control
PTZ by clicking the buttons on the PTZ control panel in the live view interface.
Manual PTZ Control Priority: if this mode is selected, in smart tracking mode, you can
control PTZ by clicking the buttons on the PTZ control panel in the live view interface and
then the camera will immediately stop the tracking action. After you finish controlling PTZ
for 5 seconds, the PTZ camera will return to the start tracking position and wait for the object
to appear.
Still time: If it is enabled and the time is set, when the target stops or hides behind an obstacle,
or the target tracking is complete and there is no target appearing in the detection area during
the set time, the PTZ camera will return to the tracking start position after the set time expires.
During this time, if there are targets moving, the PTZ will continue tracking. If it is not
enabled, when the target stops or there is no target appearing in the detection area for 5
seconds, the PTZ camera will return to the start tracking position.
For example: At the stoplight, if a car is waiting for the red light for 30 seconds, and the still
time is set as 20 seconds, the tracking will stop following; however, if the still time is set as
40 seconds, when the red light changes to green and the car starts to move, the PTZ will
