Configure Monitoring Dialog


The configure monitoring dialog box is used to configure the recording part of ThiefAware. ThiefAware has two monitoring modes, time lapse and motion detection. Motion detection is the default option and the most useful. It waits until it sees something moving, then starts recording. Time lapse mode records continuously until it runs out of hard device space. The configure motion detection button displays the configure motion detection dialog box.

The Frame interval is the number of milliseconds to wait between capturing each frame. A value of 100 represents a frame rate of 1 frame per second. To convert a frames per second value into an interval in milliseconds, divide 1000 by the frames per second value. The space limit it used to set the maximum number of kilobytes ThiefAware can use. Make sure to set this value about 2GB lower than what is actually available to make room for file system overhead and the index file. Selecting show red circle while recording causes ThiefAware to display a red circle in the upper left corner of the preview box while recording.

The save location is the location where ThiefAware will store its data files. Make sure there is enough room on the drive and if necessary lower the space limit.
