AXIS P5544 PTZ Dome Network Camera

Detectors

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement starts or stops in the camera's ﬁeld of view. The alarm is

generated when the camera is in Overview Mode, that is, when using the Panopsis lens. See Overview Mode, on page 9 .

Motion detection is conﬁgured by deﬁning up to 10 Include and Exclude 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 automatically ignored).

For instructions, see Set Up Motion Detection Windows, on page 30.

To control the number of motion detection alarms, the parameters Object Size, History and Sensitivity can be adjusted. See

Motion Detection Parameters, on page 31.

Once motion detection windows are conﬁgured, the Axis product can be conﬁgured to perform actions when motion is detected.

Possible actions include uploading images and start recording. For more information, see Setting Up an Action Rule, on page 34.

Note

Using the motion detection feature may decrease the product's overall performance.
