Motion Detection
Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement starts or stops in the camera’s field of view. The alarm is
generated when the camera is in Overview Mode, that is, when using the Panopsis lens. See Overview Mode, on page 9 .
Motion detection is configured by defining up to 10 Include and Exclude windows:
•Include windows —define areas where motion should be detected
•Exclude windows —define areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside Include windows
are automatically ignored).
For instructions, see Set Up Motion Detection Windows, on page 30.
To control the number of motion detection alarms, the parameters Object Size,History and Sensitivity can be adjusted. See
Motion Detection Parameters, on page 31.
Once motion detection windows are configured, the Axis product can be configured to perform actions when motion is detected.
Possible actions include uploading images and start recording. For more information, see Setting Up an Action Rule, on page 34.
Note
Using the motion detection feature may decrease the product’s overall performance.
