Honeywell K14392V1 manual To Configure Motion Detection, Customizing Detection Masking

System Administrator’s Guide

To Configure Motion Detection

1.Continue or start a Maintenance Session for the Rapid Eye site.

2.Click the Video tab. By default, Record/Motion/Image is selected.

3.For commands, you have the option of using the buttons in the Motion area or the motion commands on a menu. To use the menu, place the mouse pointer on the tab’s video and right-click on the mouse. See figure 7–13.

Customizing Detection: Masking

Masking movement that is of no concern

By default, motion is detected everywhere in a video feed. Some of that movement may not be of any interest, such as a roadway in a window, or people walking by a door. Areas of no concern can be masked, i.e., hidden from motion detection, so that they will not trigger an alarm.

Fig. 7–12. Mask for Motion Detection.

Example: Masking an Area of the Video Feed

1.Taking the image in figure 7–12as an example: to perform surveillance on a door that many people walk by, start by setting a mask on the top corner of the door.

2.After setting the mask, place the mouse pointer on the image and click the other mouse button. A menu appears. See figure 7–13.

3.Select the Invert Mask command; the detection is now focused on an area that “moves” only when the door opens.

4.Enable Log or Alarm. The log can be used to obtain video from the time(s) when the door is opened, saving a View operator from having to “spot” video.

Red mask and green mask

In motion detection, the mask is red and movement behind a mask is ignored.

The masking behaves opposite to that of motion search. In motion search, the parts "masked" in green act as triggers more than as a mask.
