The Video Analytics Activity overlay is only activated for video from cameras that are

bounding boxes, and will not display the red motion activity overlay. 
Changing Display Quality
If your computer does not have enough network bandwidth or processing power, you may not be able to watch 
video at its full image rate and quality. You can configure the image panels to display video in high quality and 
low frame rate, or low quality and high frame rate.
Select a higher display quality setting if you need to see specific details or faces in the scene. Select a lower 
display quality setting if it's more important to see moving events as they occur.
The Change Display Quality: settings only affect the image panel display and do not affect the actual video 
quality or image rate between the camera and the server. Therefore, you can review recorded footage later to 
confirm what you saw in the image panel. 
In the Change Display Quality: area, select one of the following options:
l
Maximum: displays video at full resolution with the lowest image rate.
l
High (Default): displays video at 1/4 resolution.
l
Medium: displays video at 1/16 resolution.
l
Low: displays video at 1/64 resolution with the highest image rate.
