  • Page 112 VIVOTEK A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered because the image variations still fall under the defined threshold. Percentage = 30% If you want to configure other motion detection settings for day/night/schedule mode, please click Profile to open the Motion Detection Profile Settings page as shown below.
  • Page 113 VIVOTEK NOTE NOTE: ► How does motion detection work? There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects.

You may then define the triggering condition. Digital input: Select High or Low to define the "active state" for the digital input. The Network Camera will report the current status.

  • Page 115: Applications > Audio Detection

    VIVOTEK Applications > Audio detection Audio detection, along with video motion detection, is applicable in the following scenarios: 1. Detection of activities not covered by camera view, e.g., a loud input by gun shots or breaking a door/window. 2. A usually noisy environment, such as a factory, suddenly becomes quiet due to a breakdown of machines.
  • Page 116 VIVOTEK You can use the Profile window to configure a different Audio detection setting. For example, a place can be noisy in the day time and become very quiet in the night. 1. Click on the Enable this profile checkbox. Once the Audio detection window is opened, the current sound input will be interactively indicated by a fluctuating yellow wave diagram.
