AXIS Video Motion Detection

AXIS Video Motion Detection
AXIS Video Motion Detection is an application that detects moving objects in the camera's field of view. When a moving object
is detected, AXIS Video Motion Detection sends an alarm that can be used by the Axis product or by third-party software to
for example, record video or send a notification.
AXIS Video Motion Detection 3 is included with the Axis product and is available under Setup > Applications. To use AXIS Video
Motion Detection, the application must first be started. To avoid detecting unwanted objects, the application should be configured.
During configuration, visual confirmation can be used to help understand the effect of the different filters. When visual confirmation
is enabled, red polygons show which objects the application detects and green polygons show which objects the application ignores.

Considerations

Before using AXIS Video Motion Detection 3, take the following into consideration:
• Small and distant objects might not be detected.
• Detection accuracy may be affected by weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow.
• Make sure that the lighting conditions are within the Axis product's specification. Add additional lighting if needed.
• Make sure that the camera is not subject to excessive vibrations. Vibrations might trigger false alarms.

The include area is the area in which moving objects will be detected. Objects moving outside the include area will be ignored.
The object will be detected also if only a part of the object is inside the include area.
