Page 21: Archive
Archive Motion Detection Motion detection is achieved by analyzing inter-frame brightness changes on a pixel-by-pixel basis. There are two modes of Motion Detection supported in CBC Video System: a software mode and an on-camera mode. The software mode performs motion detection by processing the images after they were transmitted from the camera to the computer. - Page 22 Motion detection is computed independently in multiple detection zones on a square grid. The largest grid supported for any CBC camera model and image size is 8 by 8. The actual grid for any particular model is determined by the chosen zone size (a drop-down list in the lower right corner of the Motion Settings screen) and the camera’s pixel resolution.
