How do I use the motion detection recording function in YouCam?

When motion detection recording is enabled, CyberLink YouCam begins to record if your webcam detects motion and then stops once the movement ends.

To enable a motion detection recording, do this:

  1. Select the Utilities tab and then Surveillance to display the Video Surveillance Settings panel.
  2. Select the Motion detection recording option and then enter the Recording end time in the fields provided.
  3. In the Define detection area, use your mouse to resize and then drag the box to the location on the video image where you want CyberLink YouCam to detect motion.
  4. Use the Sensitivity slider to set the level of motion sensitivity. You may need to scroll down in the settings window to find this slider.
  5. Select Start. CyberLink YouCam enters stand by mode and captures video when it detects motion.
  6. Any recorded videos are placed in the captured content area and saved to the capture folder specified in Capture & Snapshot settings.

Note: CyberLink YouCam remains in stand by mode for motion recording until the specified end time or until you select the Stop button.
