7.0 Motion-Detection Configuration
7.1 Overview
The Cohu 7100 Series camera contain a sophisticated motion detection algorithm that can be
used along with Triggers to provide a robust system for security and general monitoring
applications. The motion detection algorithm will initiate a trigger event each time that it detects
motion as configured with the Motion settings.
This chapter discusses the settings necessary for fine-tuning motion detection for the cameras.
These settings are contained on the Motion Settings page. To navigate to the Motion Settings
page, either select Motion Settings from the navigational pull-down menu located on the View
Images page, or click the Motion tab that appears in the settings menu. You need to have logged
in with the management/superuser password to change the Motion Detection settings.
After you make your selection, the Motion Settings page appears. Your page should look similar
to the following:
On this page, you can use the pull-down menus and text input fields to configure motion
detection.
7.2 Enabling Motion Detection
The default action is to use all pixels in the image for motion detection. You may change this by
configuring one or more motion detection windows. Windows can be configured in one of two
ways. Users can either click in the image to create a window or enter the coordinates manually to
tell the camera where to position the window. Up to 50 windows can be configured using the
camera's command line interface, but only 8 can be displayed in the image window.
