Video Motion Detection should only be installed in Axis products that are not subject to excessive vibrations. Some conditions might affect the reliability of detection such as weather conditions (snow or rain), reflections, shadows condition, if the object is too small or too large and if the object’s movement is very slow or too fast.

In order to configure AXIS Video Motion Detection, you need to have Windows ®, Internet Explorer ® and Axis Media Control (provided by the camera).
