Setting up Motion Mask and Motion Sensitivity
In order to detect motion more properly and accurately, DW Spectrum provides a powerful and flexible
Motion Detection configuration. For example, if a camera is pointed at a parking lot, motion mask can be
set on all the surrounding areas that are not targeted for recording. In this case, any motion appearing in
the areas surrounding the main target area, will not trigger motion detection and recording.
IMPORTANT. This particular feature in DW Spectrum works only if the selected camera supports
Motion Detection.
The following Motion Detection types are supported:
Hardware Motion Detection – implemented on Cameras directly. In this case only motion mask can be
configured. To configure additional parameters it may be necessary to go to Camera Settings web
page (see "Configuring Proprietary Camera Parameters").
Software Motion Detection is performed on Media Server. It consumes more resources, though it
provides better and more flexible motion detection. In this case, it is possible to set up unlimited
number of motion regions and adjust its sensitivity. Software Motion Detection requires Dual-
Streaming supported by Camera. If supported, Software Motion Detection is set automatically
(excluding Arecont Vision cameras).
