Hi all, just bought the camera from Andy and having issue trying to get the illumination turn on when detect motion.

Followed below video still can't get it to work. Is there any missing steps still in the video?



Thanks.

Be sure you are using IE when attempting setup.
Hi, tried IE still no luck. :(
I still haven install and just doing testing by waving in front of the camera. Unless that's the problem? Need some distance or something?

I tried under IVS both rule type intrusion and tripwire.

Thanks.

Edit- just to be clear. Do I actually need NVR for this to work?? Or by setting camera itself will be alright?

It will work without an NVR. Just the settings in the camera is fine.

Suggest in live view that you turn the "rules" button on so that you can see your tripwire in live view. Then send someone outside and walk around and see why it is or isn't identifying them.

Waving a hand in front of the camera probably won't cut it - the camera needs time to recognize and identify the item before deciding if it is a triggered event.
