Applications Windows

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 rapid changes in lighting conditions or by movement of the IP camera itself.

Table 3-16describes the options in the Motion Detection window.

Table 3-16 Motion Detection Window Options

Option	Description
Motion Detection Area	• Motion Inclusion Regions—Create a window to designate an area to
	examine for motion. Select up to 4 check boxes to specify areas in the
	video. If desired, enter a name of up to 12 characters for each area in the
	field next to the corresponding check box. Drag the window to the
	desired area and drag an edge or corner of the window to resize it.
	To remove a window, uncheck the associated check box.
	• Motion Exclusion Regions—Create a window to designate an area to
	ignore for motion. Select up to 4 check boxes to specify areas in the
	video. If desired, enter a name of up to 12 characters for each area in the
	field next to the corresponding check box. Drag the window to the
	desired area and drag an edge or corner of the window to resize it.
	To remove a window, uncheck the associated check box.
	• Motion Detection Parameters—Each Motion Detection Inclusion
	Region has its unique set of Motion Detection Parameters. Click on a
	defined Motion Inclusion Region to examine or edit its Motion
	Detection Parameters for that specific window:
	– Sensitivity—Designates the relative change in luminance that the
	camera must detect for motion detection. A lower value means that
	more change is required for motion detection.
	– Threshold—Designates the percentage of the motion inclusion
	region that the camera must detect motion to generate an alert. The
	camera detects motion using the defined sensitivity level.
	– Activity Level—Display only. Horizontal bar that represents how
	much activity is being detected in the area. Test and adjust the
	sensitivity by looking at this indicator.

Event Window

The Event window provides options for configuring how the IP camera handles events. An event is either of the following:

•Motion that the IP camera detects. For related information about motion detection, see the “Motion Detection Window” section on page 3-29.

•A change of state from low to high or from high to low on an input port of the IP camera. For related information about input ports, see the “Alarm I/O Ports Window” section on page 3-34.
