Axis Communications 214 PTZ user manual Port Status, Motion Detection Parameters

AXIS 214 PTZ 28

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.

Port Status

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.
