Motion Detection - Axis Q1755 User Manual

When the Alarm for dark images parameter is enabled, alarms are generated for all cases where the lights are either dimmed
or turned off, or if the lens is sprayed, covered, or rendered severely out of focus. If not enabled, no alarm will be sent.
After you define these settings, click Save.

Motion Detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the camera's field of view. A total of
10 Include and/or Exclude windows can be configured.
Included windows target specific areas within the whole image
•
• Excluded windows define areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside Include windows are
automatically ignored)
Once configured, the motion detection windows appear in the list of available triggers, for triggering Events. See How to set
up a triggered event, on page 32.
Note:
Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera's overall performance.
