Examples:
• Avoid triggering on small objects in the video image by setting the object size level to high.
• To reduce the number of triggers if there is a lot of movement during a short period of time, select a high history level.
• To only detect flashing light, low sensitivity can be selected. In other cases, a high sensitivity level is recommended.
Port Status
Under Event Configuration > Port Status there is a list showing the status for the camera’s input and output.
This is for the benefit of Operators, who have no access to the System Options section.
Example: If the Normal state for a push button connected to an input is set to Open circuit - as long as the button is not pushed, the state
is inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.
To exclude parts of the Include window, click the Configure Excluded Windows button and position the
Exclude window as required, within the Include window.
