Activity Grid
A 16 x 16 grid can mask areas where activity detection is enabled. Select ‘Setup’ and follow the on-
screen menus to congure the activity grid.
Note:
An NTSC video source will display an activity grid of 16 x 14.
Use direction keys to navigate grid
Use camera 1 key to toggle cells on/off
Use camera 2 key to latch selection
Press MENU/MODE key to start setup
Press MENU/MODE key again to exit grid
When you enter the Activity Grid screen, a 16 x 16 grid will overlay the image. Edit the grid so
that it covers the areas of the image that require monitoring for activity detection and remove the
monitoring from the areas where there may be continuous movement (e.g. trees, bushes) causing
false triggers. Each cell can be individually enabled or disabled with the Camera 1 button.
Alternatively it is possible to latch the cursor and select a group of cells to enable / disable. To latch
the cursor, move it to the required start location and press Camera 2. Use the cursor keys to move
across the cells to be enabled / disabled and then press Camera 1 to toggle all the selected cells on
or off.
Activity Test
Use this option to test and tune the sensitivity and activity grid set up for each camera. When activity
is detected on the camera a yellow box is displayed. Press the MODE button to exit the test.
Actions
Actions to be automatically activated when VMD is identied can be congured within this menu.
