Motion Detection Parameters

The parameters available for motion detection are described briefly here. Please see the online help for complete descriptions.

Examples:

• Avoid triggering on small objects in the image by selecting a high size level.

• To trigger motion detection as long as there is activity in the area, select a high history level.

• To only detect flashing light, low sensitivity can be selected. In other cases, a high sensitivity level is

recommended.

Port Status

Under Event Configuration > Port Status there is a list showing the status for the camera’s input and output. This is for the

benefit of Operators, who have no access to the System Options section.

Example: If the Normal state for a push button connected to an input is set to Open circuit - as long as the button is not

pushed, the state is inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.

To exclude parts of the Include window, click the Configure Excluded Windows button and position the Exclude window

as required, within the Include window.
