Motion Detection Window
The Motion Detection window allows you to configure up to three areas in a video field. The IP camera
monitors activity in each area. If activity exceeds a configured threshold in any of these areas, the IP
camera generates an alert and takes the actions that are configured in the Event window. (See the “Event
Window” section on page 3-24 for more information.)
To display the Motion Detection window, access the configuration windows as described in the
“Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-4 , click Applications, then click
Motion Detection.
The Motion Detection window displays the current video from the IP camera and provides several
configuration options. If you are prompted to install ActiveX controls when trying to access this window,
follow the on-screen prompts to do so. ActiveX controls are required to see the video and the options.
If you change any options in the Motion Detection window, you must click Apply to save the changes.
Note In addition to moving objects, motion detection can be triggered by ra pid changes in lighting conditions
or by movement of the I P camera itself.
Table 3 -14 describes the options in the Motion Detection window.
