Configuring Motion Detection
1. Click Motion Detection in the Events menu.
2. Click the New button against Windows Name.
3. Select the Configure Included Windows or the Configure Excluded Windows option to define an Include or Exclude
window, and enter a descriptive name in the field below.
4. Adjust the size (drag the bottom right-hand corner) and position (click on the text at the top and drag to the desired
position) of the active window.
5. Adjust the Object Size, History and Sensitivity profile sliders (see table below for details). Any detected motion within
an active window is then indicated by red peaks in the Activity window (the active window has a red frame).

Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.
• Avoid triggering on small objects in the video image by setting the object si
ze level to high.
• Use several small Motion Detection windows rather than one large window, if triggers on small movements or
objects are desired.
• 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, select low sensitivity. 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, select the Exclude option and position the
Exclude window as required, within the Include window.
