AXIS P5522 PTZ Dome Network Camera

Events

Gatekeeper

The Gatekeeper monitors an area such as an entrance gate. It can pan, tilt and zoom in, and take a snapshot of, for example, a face, triggered by movement in the area. The camera will then automatically return to the home position and continue to overview the monitored area.

To configure the Gatekeeper, follow the online instructions under Events > Gatekeeper.

Motion detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the view. Up to 10 Include and Exclude windows can be configured:

•Include windows — target specific areas within the whole video image

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

Once configured, motion detection windows appear in the list of available triggers for triggered events. See Set up a triggered event, on page 29.

Note

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