Motion detection controls

Note These controls appear when you click the Up Arrow in the Motion Detection area and are available only viewing the primary (H.264) stream.

Enable Motion

Enables the motion detection feature and displays a grid over the video image.

Detection check box

When motion detection is enabled, the IP camera monitors activity in the video

 

 

field areas that you specify. If activity at a defined level occurs in any of these

 

areas, the IP camera generates an alert and takes the configured actions.

 

To designate specific areas that the IP camera monitors for activity, select the

 

areas by clicking each grid cell over the area. A red border indicates a selected

 

area. To deselect an area, click it again.

 

You can configure the following levels for areas that the IP camera monitors

 

for activity:

 

Sensitivity—Designates the relative amount of activity that the IP camera

 

must detect in the area before it generates an alert. A lower value means

 

that more, or faster, activity is required to trigger an alert. A higher value

 

means that less, or slower, activity is required. The default value is 80.

 

Threshold—Designates the percentage of pixels that the IP camera must

 

identify as changed in the area before it generates an alert. The camera

 

detects pixel changes at the defined sensitivity level. The default threshold

 

value is 10.

 

To configure sensitivity or threshold, right-click a grid cell that has a red

 

border and then drag the Sensitivity and Threshold sliders to the desired

 

values. Alternatively, enter a value from 1 through 100 for an option and press

 

the Enter key. To reset the sensitivity and threshold to their default values of

 

50, click Restore. These configuration settings affect the cell that you select.

 

If the cell is part of a group of horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally)

 

adjacent cells, the settings affect all cells in the group.

 

 

Full Screen check

Becomes available when you click check Enable Motion Detection check box.

box

Check the Full Screen check box to cause the IP camera to examine the entire

 

video field for activity.

 

You can configure the following items for this video field:

 

Sensitivity—Designates the relative amount of activity that the IP camera

 

must detect in the area before it generates an alert. A lower value means

 

that more, or faster, activity is required to trigger an alert. A higher value

 

means that less, or slower, activity is required. The default value is 80.

 

Threshold—Designates the percentage of pixels that the IP camera must

 

identify as changed in the area before it generates an alert. The camera

 

monitors for pixel changes at the defined sensitivity level. The default

 

threshold value is 10.

 

To configure sensitivity or threshold, right-click anywhere in the video field

 

border and then drag the Sensitivity and Threshold sliders to the desired

 

values. Alternatively, enter a value from 1 through 100 for an option and press

 

the Enter key. To reset the sensitivity and threshold to their default values of

 

50, click Restore.
