5. Next, set the motion detection sensitivity level in the Motion Detection
window. Under normal viewing conditions, i.e. when there is no motion in the
image, move the sensitivity slider until there are a few blue bars in the Motion
detected bar.
When AXIS Camera Station is running, it will automatically detect changes
in the light level. When it is bright, the "day" settings will be used, but if it
gets too dark, the programs automatically switches to the "night" settings.
As most cameras generate "noise" in the image at low light conditions that
can initiate a false motion detection alarm, lower sensitivity (slider on far
left) should be used for the night settings.
2. Set the sensitivity
level of the motion
detector until a few
blue bars
appear in the Motion
Detected bar.
LOW
Tip: Set the sensitivity level on Low (far left) in areas with these conditions:
• areas showing a lot of motion, e.g. a highway
• low light conditions, e.g. for night setting
6. When there is motion in the camera's image, set the Recording at slider to
the level where you want the recording to begin. If the Motion Detected bar
exceeds this setting, there will be an alarm and recording will begin.
When motion is detected with your new settings, the green Motion
Detected icon is shown. The red Recording icon is also displayed, and will
remain for several seconds, depending on the Images to start/stop setting
on the Recordings tab, see Recordings, on page 24.
Specify where to store your images. This field must always begin with a disk
drive letter, hard disk drive letters "C" to "K" can be used.
The same directory can be specified for multiple cameras, in which case sub-
directories are created in the specified directory.
External storage devices can be used if they are shared and available as shared
disks in Windows. The AXIS Camera Station service user must be changed, as
AXIS Camera Station uses a default Local user (who usually does not have
access to external storage devices).
