2. Set the Minimum duration, that is, the time that mus t elapse before an a larm is generated. This can help pre vent false

alarms for known conditions that affect the image.

3. Select Alarm for dark images if an alarm should be generated if lights are dimmed or turned off, or if the lens is sprayed,

covered, or rendered severely out of focus.

4. Click Save.

Motion Detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement starts or stops in the camera view.

Motion detection is conﬁgured by deﬁning up to 10 Include and Exclude windows:

• Include windows —deﬁne areas where motion should be detected

• Exclude windows —deﬁne areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside Include w indows

are automatically ignored).

For instructions, see

Set Up Motion Detection Windows, on page 25

To control the number of motion detection alarms, the parameters Object Size, History and Sensitivity can be adjusted. See

Motion

Detection Parameters, on page 25

Once motion detection windows are conﬁgured, the Axis product can be conﬁgured to perform actions when motion is detected.
