Video Motion Detection (VMD) on individual cameras is a key
element in XProtect Basis+, as detected motion may be used
for determining when to start recording, when to generate
alerts, etc.:
1. In the Camera Settings for … window, click the Motion
Detection… button to adjust VMD sensitivity.
VMD settings should be verified
under different conditions
applying for the camera’s
physical position (such as
day/night, windy/calm, etc.).
2. If some areas in a camera’s
images should be ignored by
VMD, you can exclude these
areas by clicking the Camera
Settings for … window’s
Exclude Regions… button.
Always re-adjust VMD settings after defining or
changing exclusion regions.
XProtect Basis+ also supports a wide range of advanced
camera features, including:
Event and Output Configuration
Input events (primarily based on input from external units),
and VMD events (based on XProtect Basis+ detecting motion)
can be used for automatically creating alerts, starting/stopping
recordings, etc. Outputs can be used for activating external
units, such as sirens or lights; outputs can be triggered
automatically by events.
The use of most input events and all outputs requires that
external sensors are wired to input/output (I/O) connectors on
