ADAPTIVE MOTION
The Adaptive Motion behavior detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm when the objects enter a user-defined
zone. The objects are monitored until they exit the scene.
The Adaptive Motion behavior is designed to work indoors and outdoors to track a few moving objects in uncrowded fields of view. The behavior
learns the background scene over time and adjusts to changing conditions like snow, fog, wind, and rain.
Analytics events, including Adaptive Motion, are displayed on the live video page when viewing the Event stream. You must configure both an
analytics event source and the appropriate event handlers in order to receive notifications when an Adaptive Motion alarm is triggered.
Scene Setup for Adaptive Motion
Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activity.
The ideal scene for Adaptive Motion behavior is one with light traffic and a clean background. If heavy traffic or a busy background is
unavoidable, place the user-defined zone in a relatively stable area.
Avoid crowded scenes where people move in all directions or stand in one place for long periods of time.
NOTE: Objects that are very small might not be classified as the correct object type. This could result in false alarms or alarms not being
triggered. If objects appear too small in the scene, move the camera closer to the zone of interest to increase the relative size of the objects in
the scene.
Selecting Adaptive Motion Settings
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.
2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the profile that you want to use from the Select Profile list.
4. Select Adaptive Motion from the Select Behaviors list.
5. Click the Activate Behavior check box to enable Adaptive Motion for the selected profile.
6. Use the zone draw tools to draw one or more zones of interest in the video pane.
7. After you have defined the desired zones, adjust the following zone settings:
Name: Assigns a descriptive name to make the zone easier to distinguish when viewing detection messages.
Direction: Detects and tracks moving objects and people that move in a specified direction within the defined zone.
Enable alarm: Turns on the zone alarm, which displays a log of analytics events in the Event stream on the live video page. Alarms can
also trigger an event handler if sources and handlers are configured for analytics.
Alarm severity: Defines the severity of an alarm to allow the prioritization of alarms.
Dwell time: Defines the amount of time that an alarm remains activated after the alarm-triggering object exits the zone.
8. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
