8.4.4 Video Motion Alarm
The Video Motion Alarm settings allow you to configure powerful motion detection alerts that include full control over motion quan-
tity, size, area, speed and direction of motion. In addition to the alarm itself, a wide variety of alarm notification settings are avail-
able. Video Motion Alarms can be used in conjunction with any other recording mode. For the basic configuration options
See
"Motion Recording Settings" on page 55 .
Note: When Video Motion Alarm is enabled and a motion alarm is detected, the VIGIL Server will record in alarm mode
regardless of any other recording mode defined, and an alarm event will be triggered.
A motion vector is composed of two or more motion detection regions and one vector. It represents an object
moving through specific areas of the image in a set direction. If motion is detected in two of the regions in the
general direction indicated by the vector arrow, the Motion Alarm will be triggered.
Draw Region
Draws a motion detection region as an alternative to using the mouse and drawing by hand. You cannot draw
on a motion detection region to create a clear region.
Note: Regions with sides that are touching or overlapped are detected as one region. To use a motion
vector, you must have at least 2 motion regions that do not border each other.
Set Vector
Specify a direction of movement that will trigger a motion alarm; draw a direction by clicking and dragging
the mouse. An arrow will be drawn on the preview window.
Example of Motion Vector
Note: If there is no motion vector arrow specified, any of the selected regions will trigger a motion
alarm.
Clear Removes the applied motion vector.
Motion Timeout
Determines the speed required to trigger the alarm. Motion must be detected in two or more of the regions in
the desired direction within this time. If the object moves so slowly that it does not move from one region to
the next within the Motion Timeout period, then a motion alarm will not be triggered.
