Motion Detection - Axis M1054 User Manual

Motion Detection

The AXIS M10 Series can detect moving objects in its field of vision using video motion detection. The AXIS M1031-W and
AXIS M1054 can also detect infrared object motion using the PIR Sensor (see page 31).
Video Motion Detection
Video 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 video motion detection windows appear in the list of available triggers, for triggering events. See How
to set up a triggered event, on page 28.
Notes:
• Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera's overall performance
• Video motion detection may often be falsely triggered by shadows, lamps, etc. Generally, motion detection using the
PIR Sensor is more reliable.
