# LCT-  Motion Tracking configuration

Motion Tracking usually refers to the ability of a device to detect and monitor movement within a certain area. It tracks changes in position or activity over time. In the context of this platform, motion tracking is used to trigger actions or send alerts when movement is detected.

* **Send message when**: Choose the condition under which a message or alert is triggered, such as when motion starts, stops, or if tampering is detected during motion tracking.
* **Default Presets**: these are pre-configured settings for common use cases, allowing you to quickly apply optimal motion tracking parameters.
* **Motion stop after x seconds**: Define the duration in seconds after which motion tracking stops, once no movement is detected for that period.
* **Motion Start after x seconds**: Set the delay in seconds after motion is first detected, before the device starts tracking and sending updates.
* **Sensitivity:** Adjust this level to determine how easily motion is detected by the device. A higher sensitivity detects smaller movements, while lower sensitivity requires more significant movement.

   * Scroll through the configuration list to find the **Tamper Contact Monitoring** option.
4. **Activate Monitoring:**
   * Toggle the switch to the **ON** position.
5. **Save Changes:**
   * Click **Save** to apply the settings.
