1.Click Motion Detection in the Event Configuration menu.

2.Click the Configure Included Windows radio button.

3.Click New.

4.Enter a descriptive name of your choice under Windows name.

5.Adjust the size (drag the bottom right-hand corner) and position (click on the text at the top and drag to the desired position).

6.Adjust the Object size, History and Sensitivity profile sliders (see table below for details). Any detected motion within an active window is then indicated by red peaks in the Activity window (the active window has a red frame).

7.Click Save.

If there are parts of the Include window that you wish to exclude, click the

Configure Excluded Windows radio button and repeat steps 1-7 above.

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 (AXIS 215 PTZ only)

Under Event Configuration > Port Status there is a list that shows the status for the connected inputs and outputs of the AXIS 215 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 is inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.
