Detectors

Shock Detection

Enable Shock Detection from the Detectors menu. Shock detection is used, for example, to generate an alarm if the product is hit by an object.

Use the Shock sensitivity slider to adjust the sensitivity level at which the product should send an alarm upon being hit. Low sensitivity value implies that the product will generate an alarm only if the hit is powerful.

Motion Detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement starts or stops in the camera view.

Motion detection is configured by defining up to 10 Include and Exclude windows:

•Include windows — define areas where motion should be detected

•Exclude windows — define areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside Include windows are automatically ignored).

For instructions, see Set Up Motion Detection Windows on page 25.

To control the number of motion detection alarms, the parameters Object Size, History and Sensitivity can be adjusted. See Motion Detection Parameters on page 25.

Once motion detection windows are configured, the Axis product can be configured to perform actions when motion is detected. Possible actions include uploading images and start recording. For more information, see Setting Up an Action Rule on page 31.

Note

•Using the motion detection feature may decrease the product’s overall performance.

•The position of the Motion Detection Window is relative to the orientation of the Camera. Changing the orientation of the camera will also change the position of the Motion Detection Window.

Set Up Motion Detection Windows

To set up a motion detection Include Window, follow these instructions:

1.Go to Detectors > Motion Detection.

2.Select the Configure Included Windows option and click New. Select the new window in the list of windows and enter a descriptive name.

3.Adjust the size (drag the bottom right-hand corner) and the position (click on the text at the top and drag to the desired position) of the window.

4.Adjust the Object Size, History and Sensitivity profile sliders (see Motion Detection Parameters for details). Any detected motion within an active window is indicated by red peaks in the Activity window.

5.Click Save.

To exclude parts of the include window, select the Configure Excluded Windows and position the exclude window within the include window.

To delete an include or exclude window, select the window in the list of windows and click Del.

Q1932E specifications

Axis Communications, a leading provider of network video solutions, offers a range of advanced surveillance cameras designed to meet the needs of various security applications. Among their innovative products is the Axis Q1932E, a robust thermal network camera that excels in challenging environments where visibility is compromised.

The Q1932E is particularly valued for its ability to detect and monitor objects and people in complete darkness, smoke, fog, or adverse weather conditions. This capability stems from its thermal imaging technology, which detects heat emitted by objects rather than relying on visible light. As a result, users can achieve reliable surveillance across different lighting conditions, making it ideal for critical applications like perimeter security, transportation, and infrastructure monitoring.

One of the main features of the Axis Q1932E is its resolution. The camera offers a thermal resolution of 384x288 pixels, allowing for detailed thermal imaging. This resolution is crucial for identifying potential threats even from a distance. The built-in digital Pan-Tilt-Zoom (dPTZ) capability allows users to zoom in on specific areas of interest, enhancing monitoring efficiency without losing sight of the broader scene.

Durability is another key characteristic of the Q1932E. It is designed with a weatherproof casing, complying with the IP66 standard, ensuring it can withstand harsh weather conditions such as rain, wind, and fluctuating temperatures. This rugged design makes it suitable for outdoor installations in various environments.

The camera also features Axis' advanced video analytics capabilities, enabling motion detection and edge analytics. These functionalities allow users to receive real-time alerts and notifications when unusual activity is detected, enhancing response times to potential security threats. The integration of Axis’ Zipstream technology further optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, reducing costs while maintaining high-quality video streams.

Installation is made convenient with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, which allows both data and power to be delivered through a single cable, simplifying the setup process. Additionally, the camera supports various mounting options, providing flexibility to adapt to different surveillance needs.

In summary, the Axis Q1932E thermal network camera is a powerful tool for security professionals seeking to enhance their surveillance capabilities. With its superior thermal imaging, durability, advanced analytics, and ease of installation, it is an excellent choice for ensuring safety and security in any environment, regardless of the lighting conditions.
