Moving object detection indicator

This indicator shows the threshold level for outputting an alarm and a graph of the motion level in the window. An alarm is output when motion that exceeds the threshold level is detected in the window.

Note

You can change the threshold level using the Threshold setting slide bar at the bottom of the display, but you cannot set the threshold level individually for each window.

Threshold setting slide bar

Set the threshold level of moving object detection that is common to all the windows.

The threshold level is used to judge whether or not there has been any motion in the camera image. When the level shown in the moving object detection indicator has exceeded the threshold level, the camera judges that there has been a motion.

An alarm is output when there is a motion exceeding the set threshold level in one of the active windows.

Object size

Select the minimum size of a detectable object from L (Large), M (Medium) and S (Small).

Each option represents the corresponding size below:

L:64 × 64 dots

M:32 × 32 dots

S:8 × 8 dots

Tip

The monitor display is 640 × 480 dots. Size L is 1/10 the width of the monitor display.

OK button

Click to confirm the settings and send the set values for the selected position to the camera.

Note

Although the indicator quickly responds to the setting being performed as you change the size of a window or a parameter, you need to click the OK button to confirm the setting. The setting will be cancelled if you do not click the OK button.

To set the moving object detection function

Set the moving object detection function as follows:

1 Set the PTZ position.

Select Preset position for PTZ position when you activate moving object detection linked with a preset position. Select Current position when you activate this function regardless of the camera position.

2 Select the camera position where you want to activate the detection function.

When you select Preset position for PTZ position, select the desired preset position from the Position drop-down list, and the camera will move to the selected preset position automatically.

3 Select Moving object for Detection.

The setting items for moving object detection appear.

4 Check the Window 1 check box.

The Window 1 frame appears on the monitor display.

5 Adjust the position and size of Window 1. Drag Window 1 to move it and change its size.

6 Set the active or inactive windows.

Select Active to set Window 1 as an active area, or Inactive to set it as an inactive area.

Note

If an active window and inactive window overlap, the overlapped portion will be regarded as an inactive area.

7 Set the function for Window 2 to Window 4. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for each window.

8 Select the object size for Object size.

Select a larger size if a small noise may be detected as a motion by mistake.

9 Adjust the Threshold setting slide bar to set the threshold level at which the camera executes detection.

Adjust the detection level while observing the moving object detection indicator and actually shooting a moving object.

10 Click OK.

The moving object detection settings for the selected position are confirmed.
