26 AXIS 207 - Event Configuration
Motion Detection
The motion detection feature is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or
stops) in the video image. A total of 10 Include and/or Exclude windows can be
configured.
• Included windows target specific areas within the whole video image
• Excluded windows define areas within an Include window that should be ignored
(areas outside Include windows are automatically ignored)
Once configured, the motion detection windows will appear in the list of available triggers,
for triggering events. See the section on Event Configuration above.
Note:
Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera’s overall performance.
