Motion Settings
Moving objects will be detected in the configured motion detection windows:
Include windows define areas where motion should be detected
•
• Exclude windows define areas within an include window that should be ignored (areas outside include windows are
always ignored)
For each motion detection window you can configure:
Object size - Object size is relative to the region size. At a high level, only very large objects are detected. At a low level even
very small objects trigger an event.
History - History defines how long an object needs to be in a region before it is considered to be non-moving. At a high level an
object that appears in the region will trigger the motion detection for a long period before it is considered a non-moving part of the
image. At a low level an object that appears in the region will trigger motion detection for only a very short period.
Sensitivity - Sensitivity defines the difference in luminance between the background and the object. At a high level, an ordinary
colored object on ordinary backgrounds will trigger motion. At a low level, only very bright objects on a dark background or
very dark objects on a light background will trigger an event.
To set up motion detection windows, follow these steps:
1. Click Motion Settings to open the Edit Motion Detection dialog.
2. Click Add to create a new motion detection window. Select Include to create an include window or select Exclude
to create an exclude window, as required.
3. Use the mouse to drag the window to the desired area. To resize, drag the sides of the window.
4. Set the Object size, History and Sensitivity. Begin with a predefined setting and if needed fine adjust the settings using the
sliders while looking in the Activity window while there is a desired amount of motion in the motion detection window.
5. Click OK to save settings.
