Sony Effio E 700 TVL How to Setup

 

Hello everyone, we have a six Sony 700TVL Effio E 2.8-12mm 960H.

We are trying to set the M/D function on these Cams, as the M/D function on the Apollo LED is ridiculous, regardless of sensitivity it keeps activating.

 

We have trawled the net to see if there was any comprehensive instruction, or video demonstrations with no joy.

 

We can work all the functions on these Cams, but not the M/D. We have looked at the menu on the DVR to see if we needed to select anything in there. We cannot see anything? We know how to work M/D in the DVR but these cams are difficult.

We know how to select the M/D area and sensitivity on the Sony 700, but as said cannot make them work.

 

If anyone knows how to set M/D on these cams , your advice would be much appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

 

Helen

Please know that with the cameras motion detection, it will not record in motion detection. That is done at the DVR.

 

The cameras MD is meant just primarily as a tool to show movement in the area where the motion is sensed.

Hello Sean

 

Many thanks for your advice.

 

What silly Billys we are, hubby fed up with going up the ladder trying too adjust these Cams, and were in our 70s. Many Thanks again.

Hi Helen. Do you have blocking per channel set up in the dvr? There's a lot you can do to carve out the areas in your fields of view where you want motion and don't want motion. If you've done that as best you can and set the sensitivity as best you can too, it may just be tough shots with lots of moving things in the fov. In which case, something has to give. Either adjust the cameras position or try and get rid of some of the moving objects in the fov, But with blocking out motion detection, keep in mind you can have a lot of stuff blocked out and still get the motion detection you need. While you sit at the dvr and adjust the blocking, both of you be on the phone or cell phone with each other and have your husband walk around the fov for each camera. Watch each camera window for M [motion] and keep adjusting the blocking. You'll be surprised that you can still get motion detection but have lots of places in the fov blocked out from detecting motion. And he'll appreciate walking rather than climbing! Good luck.
