Examples:
•Avoid triggering on small objects in the image by selecting a high size level.
•To trigger motion detection as long as there is activity in the area, select a high history level.
•To only detect flashing light, low sensitivity can be selected. In other cases, a high sensitivity level is recommended.
Port Status (AXIS 215 PTZ only)
Under Event Configuration > Port Status there is a list that shows the status for the connected inputs and outputs of the AXIS 215 PTZ for the benefit of the Operator who cannot access the System Options section.
Example: If the Normal state for a push button connected to an input is set to Inactive - as long as the button is not pushed, the state is inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.
