alarms for known conditions that affect the image.

For more information on actions rules, see Events on page 32.

Motion Detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm when ever movement starts or stops in the camera view.

Motion detection i s conﬁgured by deﬁning up to 10 Include and Exclude windows:

• Include windows —deﬁne areas where motion should be detected

• Exclude windows —deﬁne areas w ithin an Include window that should b e ignored (areas outside Include windows

are automatically ignored).

For instructions, see Set Up Motion Detection Windows on page 29.

To control the num ber of motion detection alarms, the parameters Object Size, History and Sensitivity can be adjusted. See

Motion Detection Parameters on pag e 29.

Once motion detection windows are conﬁgured, the Axis product can be conﬁgured to perform actions when motion is detected.
