AXIS 212 PTZ - Event Configuration

Continue image upload (unbuffered) - enables the upload of video 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.

Motion Detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever motion occurs (or stops) in the video image. A total of 10 Include and/or Exclude windows can be configured.

•Included windows target specific areas within the whole video image

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

Once configured, the motion detection windows will appear in the list of available triggers, for triggering events. See How to set up a triggered event above.

Notes:	•	Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera’s overall performance.
	• The motion detection functionality is disabled during pan, tilt, zoom movement and is enabled as soon as the
		movement stops.
	•	Motion detection is activated in the current view only. The Include/Exclude windows will follow the camera’s
		field of view.
