Effectiveness
Neither is effective in low light.
For successful motion exception:
• A faster recording rate is better than a slower one.
• Draw one or more target areas to exclude extraneous activity.
• A target area near the center is better than one near the side.
• Do not increase the target object's size or speed unless required.
• Good quality video feeds are essential.
Standard motion detection can generate many false alarms, as well as valid alarms. Motion
exception produces fewer, more detailed alarms than motion detection.
To assess motion filter effectiveness for a single camera:
1 Loop the camera's signal to an unused input (make sure to set the termination properly).
2 Use motion detection on one input and motion exception on the other.
3 Observe the results of both methods and make changes as needed.
To perform a comprehensive search for all types of motion in recorded video, use both methods
on the same camera.
