AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W - Event Configuration

Motion Detection

The AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W can detect moving objects in its field of vision using video motion detection. The AXIS M1031-W can also detect infrared object motion using the PIR Sensor (see page 25).

Video Motion Detection

Video motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement 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 video motion detection windows appear in the list of available triggers, for triggering events. See How to set up a triggered event, on page 22.

Notes:

•Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera’s overall performance

•Video motion detection may often be falsely triggered by shadows, lamps, etc. Generally, motion detection using the PIR Sensor is more reliable.

Configuring Motion Detection

1.Click Motion Detection in the Event Configuration menu.

2.Select whether you want to configure Include or Exclude windows.

3.Click New against Windows Name and enter a descriptive name in the field below.

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

5.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).

6.Click Save.

To exclude parts of the Include window, select the Exclude option and position the Exclude win- dow as required, within the Include window.
