About detectors

Temperature detection is used to generate an alarm whenever the temperature changes according to defined conditions:

•

The temperature rises above a specified temperature

•

The temperature falls below a specified temperature

•

The temperature increases above a specified rate

Temperature detection is set by configuring up to six temperature detection zones in the camera view. Once temperature detection

zones are configured, the Axis product can be configured to perform actions when temperature changes are detected. Possible actions

include display of overlay text and start recording. For more information, see How to set up action rules on page 34.

Note

To detect temperatures above 150 °C (302 °F), the area above this temperature area must be larger than 3% of the exposure

zone. To resize the exposure zone, see About exposure settings on page 18.

Set up Temperature Detection Zones

To set up a temperature detection zone with detection conditions that apply for action rules, follow these instructions:

Basic Settings

1. Go to Detectors > Temperature Detection

2. Click New to create a new zone and enter a descriptive name.

3. Adjust the zone size (drag the frame) and the zone position (click on the text at the top and drag to the desired position).

4. Select the Detection Type for the zone:

Above (A): Triggers if the temperature rises above the level (C) that you have set in the Detection Temperature

field. By default, maximum temperature in the zone is used as the base for temperature detection.
