Motion triggered recording
Motion can be detected by Axis network cameras that have built-in motion detection software. Recording only when motion
is detected will save hard disk space compared to other options such as recording continuously. Motion Detection Recording
can be configured using the Event Configuration Wizard or the Recording Settings dialog as described here.
1. Click on menu items Configuration > Recording Settings. Select the camera and click the Motion Detection
button.
2. Check the Enabled box.
Motion detection settings
These instructions will step you through setting up the motion detection
window with object size, history, and sensitivity.
1. Set the Trigger period to the number of seconds between events.
For example, in cases where there is continuous motion to prevent
many alarms being sent, set the slidebar to the desired amount of
seconds between events.
