Motion Detection - Axis FD-R User Manual

Motion Detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the video image. A
total of 10 Include and/or Exclude windows can be configured.
• Included windows target specific areas within the whole video image
• Excluded windows define areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside
Include windows are automatically ignored)
Once configured, the motion detection windows will appear in the list of available triggers, for triggering
events. See How to set up a triggered event above.
Note:
Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera's overall performance.

2. Click the Configure Included Window radio button and click New.
