VMD (Recorder)

Configure the motion detection area (Video Motion Detection (Recorder)). The camera and NSR are equipped with motion detection functions. With this setting, you can configure the NSR’s motion detection function.

In addition, by using the camera-based motion detection function, you can lower the system load of the NSR. Select which mode to use in accordance with the number of registered cameras and your operating configuration for recording and monitoring. For details on configuring camera-based motion detection, see “Setting a Video Motion Detection (Camera) Pin” (page 124).

The VMD (Recorder) configuration screen appears.

Enter a name for the configuration area in the [Configuration Name] field.

Select the VMD mode.

Always verify your operating environment first, because performance may vary depending on the mode.

•Standard mode can perform motion detection on more cameras simultaneously than high-performance mode.

•High-performance mode offers better detection accuracy.

•Be aware that when the VMD mode is changed the default values for [Previous Frame] and [Candidate Frame] are configured separately for each mode.

•With the MPEG4 codec, only high-performance mode is supported.

Caution

When the codec for cameras set to standard mode is changed to MPEG, the VMD mode is automatically switched to high-performance mode. In addition, [Previous Frame] and [Candidate Frame] are set to the default values for high-performance mode.
