Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless this was explicitly excluded.
Depending on the analysis type selected and the relevant configuration, additional
information overlays the video image in the preview window next to the parameter settings.
With the MOTION+ analysis type, for example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded
will be marked with rectangles.
Motion detector (MOTION+ only)
For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:
Analysis must be activated.
At least one sensor field must be activated.
The individual parameters must be configured to suit the operating environment and the
desired responses.
The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.
Sensitivity (MOTION+ only)
The basic sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for the environmental conditions
to which the camera is subject.
The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image. The darker the
observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.
Minimum object size (MOTION+ only)
You can specify the number of sensor fields that a moving object must cover to generate an
alarm. This is to prevent objects that are too small from triggering an alarm.
A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor fields.
Select Area (MOTION+ only)
The areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector can be selected. The video
image is subdivided into 858 square fields. Each of these fields can be activated or
deactivated individually. If you wish to exclude particular regions of the camera's field of view
from monitoring due to continuous movement (by a tree in the wind, etc.), the relevant fields
can be deactivated.
1. Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new window will open.
2. If necessary, click Clear All first to clear the current selection (fields marked yellow).
3. Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are marked yellow.
4. If necessary, click Select All to select the entire video frame for monitoring.
5. Right-click any fields you wish to deactivate.
6. Click OK to save the configuration.
7. Click the close button X in the window title bar to close the window without saving the
changes.
NOTICE!
On the LIVEPAGE Functions page, you can also enable additional information overlays for the
LIVEPAGE (see Section 4.15 Livepage Functions, page 27).
CAUTION!
Reflections of light (off glass surfaces, etc.), switching lights on or off or changes in the light
level caused by cloud movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the
motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests at different times of the day
and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.
For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.
