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 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.
Ideal 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 zones in a relatively stable area.
Avoid crowded scenes where people move in all directions or stand in 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, zoom in on the particular zone of interest or move the camera closer to the zone of
interest to increase the relative size of the objects in the scene.
Auto Tracker
The AutoTracker behavior detects and tracks movement in the camera’s field of view. When the AutoTracker behavior is configured, the
system automatically pans and tilts to follow the moving object until the object stops or exits the monitored area.
Ideal Scene Setup for Auto Tracker
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 the AutoTracker behavior contains light traffic and a clean background. If heavy traffic or a busy background is
unavoidable, place zones relatively stable areas.
Avoid crowded scenes where people move in all directions or stand in 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 a failure to trigger
valid alarms. If objects appear too small in the scene, zoom in on the particular zone of interest or move the camera closer to the zone
of interest to increase the relative size of the objects in the scene.
Camera Sabotage
The Camera Sabotage behavior detects contrast changes in the field of view, and triggers an alarm 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 alarm.
Ideal 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.
Directional Motion
The Directional Motion behavior generates an alarm in a high traffic area when a person or object moves in a specified direction. Exam-
ples of typical installations for this behavior include airports, entrances and exits, and vehicle traffic through tunnels.
In an airport installation, cameras observe passengers boarding a plane in a terminal. If a person moves in the opposite direction of the
normal flow of traffic, an alarm triggers.
