Before you start:
Check if your camera supports motion detection. For the list of compatible cameras, see https://www.qnap.com/go/compatibility-qvr-pro?motion_detection=true.
If your camera does not support motion detection, you can use the built-in motion detection feature. QVR Pro provides up to two channels for motion detection analysis and supports resolutions up to 1080p.
QVR Pro allows you to create rules for monitoring motion detection events and assigning actions. Each rule follows a specified schedule, and a set of events and actions. When the events occur within the selected schedule, QVR Pro performs the corresponding actions.
You can also decide whether all events are required to occur within a specified period before applying the actions.
You can add up to 128 rules.
