Motion Detection

AXIS 213 PTZ 27

Include pre-trigger buffer - images stored internally in the server from the time immediately preceding the trigger. Check the box to enable the pre-trigger buffer, enter the desired length of time and specify the required image frequency.

Include post-trigger buffer - contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. Configure as for pre-trigger.

Note: If the pre- or post-buffer is too large for the internal memory, the frame rate will be reduced and individual images may be miss- ing. If this occurs, an entry will be created in the unit's log file.

Continue image upload (unbuffered) - enable the upload of images for a fixed length of time. Specify the length of time for the uploaded recording, in seconds, minutes or hours, or for as long as the trigger is active. Finally, set the desired image frequency to the maximum (the maximum available) or to a specified frame rate. The frame rate will be the best possible, but might not be as high as specified, especially if uploading via a slow connection.

Scheduled Event

A Scheduled event can be activated at pre-set times, in a repeating pattern on selected weekdays.

Settin up a scheduled event

This example describes how to set the AXIS 213 PTZ to send an email notification with saved images from a set time:

1.Click Add scheduled on the Event types page.

2.Enter a descriptive name for the event, e.g. Scheduled email.

3.Set the Priority (High, Normal or Low).

4.Set the Activation Time parameters (24h clock) when the event is to be active, e.g. start on Fridays at 18.00 with a duration of 62 hours.

5.Set the When Activated... parameters i.e. set what the AXIS 213 PTZ is to do at the specified time e.g. send uploaded images to an email address.

6.Click OK to save the Event in the Event Types list.

Please see the online help files for descriptions of each available option.

In the Motion Detection menu, you can configure the AXIS 213 PTZ for motion detection. The motion detection feature is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the image. The AXIS 213 PTZ can use a maximum of 10 Include/Exclude windows.

•Include windows target specific areas within the image

•Exclude windows are areas to be ignored within the Include window

Once configured, the motion detection windows will appear in a list when motion detection is selected to trigger an event. See Setting up a triggered event above.

Note: • Using the motion detection feature may decrease overall performance in the camera.

• Motion detection will not function while the lens is moving (i.e. pan, tilt, zoom)
