Clicking on Go to device settings will take you to the settings tab of the device to which the channel directly belongs.

The Channel settings window is divided into several areas:

You can read more about the settings in each of these areas in the corresponding sections of the manual.

If the Generate motion / No Motion events checkbox is set, each time motion is detected a new event will be written to the database. It may be necessary to disable this feature to reduce the load on the database.
