Motion Detection
Motion detection enables you to define a region of interest in the camera’s field of view which can be
used to trigger an Event Action. Multiple areas of interest can be selected in the field of view but only
one Event Action may be triggered.
Motion Detection Best Practices
To ensure you get the highest quality results when using Motion Detection on the camera it is
recommended that you adhere to the following:
• An object exhibiting motion needs to be at least 8x8 pixels in size to be detected.
• The color of the object (in gray scale) should be approximately 10-15% different than the
background.
• Exclude the Time Stamp region from motion detection, because the time stamp changes
constantly and could register as motion.
• Try not to point cameras into sunlight, because high brightness prevents detection of
movement of bright objects such as a person with a white shirt.
• Avoid areas with persistent motion, such as trees, blinking lights, or spinning signs, by
using an appropriate region of interest.
Motion Detection Configuration Pane
The regions of interest within the camera’s field of view are defined using the Motion Detection
Configuration Pane. The regions of interest are set by drawing/highlighting an area on the pane. This
is done by using the drawing tools on the Motion Detection Configuration Pane.
Creating a Motion Detection Alert
Create a motion detection alert on the camera.
The Motion Detection Alert feature supports up to three profiles in a Field of View (FOV). You can
configure each profile with an individual sensitivity level and an event action.
Note:
1 If the motion detection video stream is changed after the region of interest has been drawn it
is necessary to re-draw a new region.
2 If the stream settings are modified the motion detection is disabled and it is necessary to
enable motion detection again if required.
3 Motion detection can only be enabled on a video stream that uses H.264 with a resolution on
1920x1440 or lower.
