3.Set the Object Size, History, and Sensitivity profile sliders for the window (only applies to Include windows). A full description of each profile slider is provided below.

4.To test the motion detection window, select it and then create some physical disturbance within the window area. Any detected motion is then indicated by colored peaks in the Activity Indicator. An alarm is only generated if the motion exceeds the tolerance defined by the black delimiter line and the peak turns red.

5.For the Java applet: Click the Save button to save the new window.

If there are parts of the Include window that you wish to exclude, create an Exclude Window. An Exclude window is named, sized and moved in the same way as an Include window, but no other configuration is necessary.

Motion Detection Parameters

The parameters available for motion detection are described briefly here. Please see the online help for complete descriptions.

Parameter	Size	History	Sensitivity

High	Only very large objects	An object that appears in the	Ordinary colored objects against ordi-
	trigger motion detection	region will trigger the motion	nary backgrounds will trigger the
		detection for a long period	motion detection

Low	Even very small objects	An object that appears in the	Only very bright objects against a dark
	trigger motion detection	region will trigger motion detection	background will trigger motion detec-
		for only a very short period	tion

Default values	Low	Medium to High	Medium to High

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.

Under Event Configuration > Port Status there is a list that shows the status for the connected inputs and outputs of the AXIS 214 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 will be inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.

214 PTZ specifications

The Axis Communications 214 PTZ is a sophisticated network camera designed for surveillance and security applications. This camera is equipped with advanced features that allow for flexible monitoring and exceptional image quality, making it a preferred choice for various environments including retail, transportation, and public spaces.

One of the standout features of the Axis 214 PTZ is its Pan-Tilt-Zoom capabilities. The camera can pan 360 degrees continuously and has a tilt range of 90 degrees, providing users with the ability to cover large areas. With its powerful zoom function, the camera can magnify subjects up to 36 times, making it easier to identify details from a distance. This is particularly useful for applications requiring detailed observation, such as monitoring entrances or tracking vehicles in a parking lot.

The 214 PTZ also boasts impressive image quality, supporting up to 4CIF resolution at full frame rate. It employs progressive scan technology and delivers clear images, even in challenging lighting conditions. This is further enhanced by features such as day/night functionality, which allows the camera to switch to infrared mode for low-light environments. The built-in wide dynamic range (WDR) capability helps to balance scenes with high contrast lighting, ensuring that both bright and dark areas are visible.

In terms of connectivity, the Axis 214 PTZ utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter by allowing the camera to receive power and data through a single Ethernet cable. This enhances flexibility in camera placement as it eliminates the need for separate power supplies. Additionally, the camera supports various video compression formats, including H.264 and Motion JPEG, optimizing bandwidth usage while maintaining high-quality video streams.

Security is paramount in surveillance applications, and the Axis 214 PTZ is equipped with robust security features. It supports HTTPS encryption, ensuring that video feeds are secure from unauthorized access. The camera also includes tampering alarms and a secure access control system that can restrict user access based on specific permissions.

Lastly, the user-friendly interface and compatibility with various Axis Video Management Software solutions allow for seamless integration into existing security systems. The camera's robust construction ensures reliability in diverse weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. Overall, the Axis Communications 214 PTZ camera combines advanced surveillance technology with user-centric design to deliver a versatile and dependable security solution.
