AXIS 216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V - Event Configuration

Motion Detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the

video image. A total of 10 Include and/or Exclude windows can be configured.

• Included

windows target specific areas within the whole video image

• Ex

cluded windows define areas within an Include window that should be ignored

(areas outside Include windows are automatically ignored)

Once configured, the motion detection windows appear in the list of available triggers, for

triggering events.

See How to set up a triggered event, on page 30.

Note: Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera’s overall performance.

enter a descriptive name in the field below.

4. Adjust the size (drag the bottom right-hand corner) and position (click on the text

at the top and drag to the desired position) of the active window.
