Motion Detection Alerts
The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected.
The Video Server will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement
of large objects.
But the motion detector can also be triggered by:
• Sudden changes in the level of available light
• Movement of the camera itself.
Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there
is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely.
Note: The Motion Detection settings can only be configured while using IE browser.
To Use Motion Detection Alerts
Using the Web-based interface on the Video Server, select the Motion Detection screen, then
configure this screen as described below.
Figure 23: Motion Detection
1. Enable the Motion Detection feature.
2. Set the areas of the video image to be examined for movement. You can define up to 4
areas, and set the motion threshold individually for each area.
3. If using a schedule, define the desired schedule in Event Trigger screen.
4. Save your changes.
If the Motion Detection feature is enabled, but the related
options in the Event Trigger screen are not enabled, then the
only action when motion is detected is to log this event in the
system log.
