3.2.6.3 Sabotage Detection

The Camera Sabotage behavior detects scene changes or contrast changes in the field of view. An event or alarm is triggered

if the lens is obstructed by spray paint, a cloth, or if it is covered with a lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera

also triggers an event or alarm.

Scene Setup for Camera Sabotage

Install the camera in a high position, looking down on the scene. The field of view should be as large as possible. A small field

of view could result in the view being blocked by an adjacent object.

Avoid scenes with a dark, uniform background; low lighting; and large moving objects.

2. Configure the settings:

 Sensitivity: Determines the triggering sensitivity for alarm. High sensitivity is triggered most easily but is

prone to more false alarms. Low sensitivity will only trigger an alarm for major issues like blackout.

 Event logging (Profile) name: Type a user-defined string name that will display within an alarm event to help

users to easily distinguish among cameras.

 Alarm Severity: Defines the severity of an alarm to allow the prioritization of alarms.
