Port Status - Axis 247S User Manual

Motion Detection
The motion detection feature 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 the section on Event Configuration above.
Note:
Using the motion detection feature may decrease the overall performance of the Video Server.
How to configure Motion Detection
1. Click Motion Detection in the Event Configuration menu.
2. Click the Configure Included Window radio button.
3. Click New, or if using the Java Applet, click Add Window.
4. Enter a descriptive name under Window name.
5. Adjust the size (drag the bottom right-hand corner) and position (click on the text at the top and drag
to the desired position).
6. Adjust the Object size, History and Sensitivity profile sliders (see table below for details). Any detected
motion within an active window is then indicated by red peaks in the Activity window (the active
window has a red frame).
7. Click Save.
To exclude parts of the Include window, click the Configure Excluded Windows button and position the
Exclude window as required, within the Include window.

Port Status

Under Event Configuration > Port Status there is a list showing the status for the connected input/output. This
is for the benefit of Operators, who have no access to the System Options section.
Example:
If the Normal state for a push button connected to an input is set to Open circuit - as long as the button is not pushed, the state
is inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.
