39 AXIS 214 PTZ - Event Configuration
Motion Detection
The AXIS 214 PTZ can be configured for motion detection. This feature is used to generate
an alarm whenever movement starts (or stops) in the image. The AXIS 214 PTZ can use a
maximum of 10 Include/Exclude windows.
• Include windows target specific areas within the image
• Exclude windows are areas to be ignored within the Include window
Once configured, the motion detection windows will appear in a list when motion
detection is set to trigger an event. See How to set up a triggered event above.
Note:
Using the motion detection feature may decrease overall performance in the camera.
Motion detection will not function while the lens is moving (i.e. pan, tilt, zoom)
Configuring Motion Detection
With reference to the motion detection parameters in the table below, follow these
instructions to create a motion detection window.
1. a) For AMC: Check the radio button Configure Include Windows to set the type of
window. Click the New button. A new window called DefaultWindow appears
over the image. Select the name in the list of windows and rename the window.
b) For the Java applet: Click the Add Window button. Check the radio button
Include or Exclude to define the type of window.
2. To move the window to the area to monitor, click on the text at the top of the
window and drag it to the desired location. The window can be re-sized by
dragging the bottom-right corner.
3. Set the Object Size, History, and Sensitivity profile sliders for the window (applies
only to Include windows). A full description of each profile slider is provided
below.
4. To test the motion detection window, select it and then create some physical
disturbance within the window area. Any detected motion is then indicated by
colored peaks in the Activity Indicator. An alarm is only generated if the motion
exceeds the tolerance defined by the black delimiter line and the peak turns red.
5. For the Java applet: Click the Save button to save the new window.
If there are parts of the Include window that you wish to exclude, create an
Exclude Window. An Exclude window is named, sized and moved in the
same way as an Include window, but no other configuration is necessary.
