  • Page 97: Ptz > Ptz Settings

    VIVOTEK PTZ > PTZ settings Advanced Mode This section explains how to control the Network Camera’s Pan/Tilt/Zoom operation. The camera comes with built-in PTZ mechanisms. NOTE: The navigation buttons here also support the continuous move. You can click and hold down the button to move across the screen until you release the button.
  • Page 98 VIVOTEK Misc. settings: Use the checkboxes and the pull-down menus for the camera to automatically resume the previous action or return to the home position after the camera has stayed idle for a period of time. PTZ control panel operation mode: This determines how your mouse and PTZ control panel works on a live view window.
  • Page 99 VIVOTEK The Zoom factor display: This option is enabled by default, and zoom ratio is displayed along with the video title on the upper left corner of a view cell. Apply previous action if the camera idles for __(1~999) seconds: You can assign an action to be taken when the camera sits idle for a configurable period time.
  • Page 100 VIVOTEK Auto tracking In this window, you can modify the minimum object size as the triggering factor while performing the Auto Tracking function. You can move the camera view to an area of your interest, estimate, and define the possible size of objects. For example, you can designate the object size such as that of a human trespasser.
  • Page 101 VIVOTEK Auto tracking is configured by designating the minimum object size. Moving objects that entered the current region of view will trigger the tracking action. Auto tracking, if applied, is designed to track an intruder in a place where human traffic is not heavy, such as a warehouse or a load area.

  • Page 102: Event > Event Settings

    VIVOTEK Event > Event settings Advanced Mode This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to responds to particular situations (event). A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera sends buffered images to an FTP server or e-mail address as notifications. Click on Help, there is an illustration shown in the pop-up window explaining that an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices.
  • Page 103 VIVOTEK ■ Event name: Enter a name for the event setting. ■ Enable this event: Select this option to enable the event setting. ■ Priority: Select the relative importance of this event (High, Normal, or Low). Events with a higher priority setting will be executed first.
  • Page 104 VIVOTEK ■ Audio detection A preset threshold can be configured with an external microphone as the trigger to system event. The triggering condition can be an input exceeding or falling below a threshold. Audio detection can take place as a complement to motion detection or as a method to detect activities not covered by the camera's view.
  • Page 105 VIVOTEK settings so that the Network Camera will know what action to take (such as which server to send the media files to) when a trigger is activated. NOTE: If you configured a motion detection window as a trigger, the motion detection may become invalid when the camera’s field of view moved away from the detection window.

  • Page 106: Add Server

    VIVOTEK Add server Click Add server to unfold the server setting window. You can specify where the notification messages are sent when a trigger is activated. A total of 5 server settings can be configured. There are four choices of server types available: Email, FTP, HTTP, and Network storage. Select the item to display the detailed configuration options.

  • Page 112 VIVOTEK ■ Maximum duration Specify the maximum recording duration in seconds. Up to 20 seconds can be set. For example, if pre-event recording is set to 5 seconds and the maximum duration is set to 10 seconds, the Network Camera continues to record for another 4 seconds after a trigger is activated.

  • Page 118 VIVOTEK 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.
