IPIX
Note: Functionality in the IPIX section is only available if the use of IPIX technology has been
enabled for the device to which the camera is attached. For dedicated IPIX cameras, the use of
IPIX technology is automatically enabled. If not dealing with a dedicated IPIX camera, you enable
use of IPIX technology for a device in the Edit device settings window (see page 34), accessed by
selecting the required device in the Administrator window’s (see page 26) Device Manager section,
then clicking the Administrator window’s Edit Device... button.
The IPIX section contains the following fields and buttons:
• Enable IPIX: Select check box to enable the use of IPIX, a technology that allows viewing
of 360-degree panoramic images through an advanced fish eye lens on the particular
camera.
• IPIX Settings...: Opens the IPIX Camera Configuration window (see page 55), in which
you configure the camera’s IPIX functionality.
Motion Detection Settings
The Motion Detection Settings section contains two buttons for configuring the camera’s motion
detection:
• Motion Detection...: Opens the Adjust Motion Detection window (see page 46), in which
you are able to specify motion detection sensitivity levels.
• Exclude Regions...: Opens the Define Exclusion Regions window (see page 47) where you
are able to disable motion detection in specific areas of the camera’s images.
Disabling motion detection in certain areas may help you avoid detection of irrelevant
motion, for example if the camera covers an area where a tree is swaying in the wind or
where cars regularly pass by in the background.
Database Settings
The database for each camera is capable of containing a maximum of 600,000 records or 40 GB
per day. Note that camera databases also store recorded audio from associated audio sources; see
Important Information about Using Audio page 59 for more information.
Tip: By using archiving (see page 101) it is possible to store recordings beyond the capabilities
of the camera’s database.
The Database settings section lets you specify database settings for the camera, such as where the
database containing the camera’s recordings should be kept, how much to store, etc. You specify
this information in the following fields:
• Max records in database: Select this option to limit the database size based on a
maximum allowed number of records in the database. Specify required maximum number
of records in the neighboring field. When the database reaches the maximum number of
records, the oldest record in the database will automatically be overwritten.
Note: A database can contain a maximum of 600,000 records or 40 GB per day, regardless
of what maximum has been defined.
• Max timespan in database: Select this option to limit the database size based on the age
of records in the database. Specify the required number in neighboring field, and select
required unit (Minutes, Hours, or Days) from the list. When records become older than the
