•Click and Hold Left Mouse Button or use Context Menu (Clear Motion Selection) to clear all regions.

IMPORTANT. Motion will not be visible and detected on a region marked as Motion Mask.

As soon as the region is selected, Time Line will be populated with red bars. Each bar indicates recording period that contains motion.
