Video Motion Alarm
The Video Motion Alarm settings allow you to configure powerful motion detection alerts that include full control over
motion quantity, size, area, speed and direction of motion. In addition to the alarm itself, a wide variety of alarm noti-
fication settings are available. Motion alarms can be used in addition to any other recording mode. For the basic con-
figuration options refer to Motion Recording Settings above.
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 drag-
ging the mouse. An arrow will be drawn on the preview window. 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.
