How To Configure Basic Deterrent Functionality

Certain R-series cameras have Built-in Deterrent Functions. This is great for if you want an Event-based Strobe or Flood Light action to trigger.

In this guide, we are referencing the Web Interface to the M5T-NC.

Configuring Deterrence Setting

First, you must enable the Deterrent capabilities in the camera but going to Device Settings -> Event -> Setup -> Deterrence

• Light - Enables the Deterrent Light
• Duration - Sets the amount of time the deterrent function will be enabled for once triggered
• Color Image - The Camera will switch from Black&White to Color in order to get a quality image on the Event Trigger.
• Deterrence Mode:
  • Light Warning - White LED will be solid for the duration set
  • Light Strobe - White LED will strobe for the duration & frequency set
• Sensitivity - From 1 to 8, with 8 Being the highest sensitivity and 1 being the lowest

Linking Deterrent to AI Event

Go into Device Settings -> AI -> Motion

Select the specific event you want the deterrence light to be triggered by, then enable Deterrent.
