9.15 Sudden Scene Change 
Purpose   
The scene change detection function detects change of the surveillance environment 
affected by external factors such as intentional rotation of the camera, and specific actions 
can be taken when the alarm is triggered. 
• 
Sensitivity 
in the Rule Settings ranges from 1 to 100, and the higher the value, the 
more easily the change of scene will trigger the alarm. 
• 
For analog cameras, line crossing detection and intrusion detection conflict with other 
VCA detections such as sudden scene change detection, face detection, and vehicle 
detection. You can enable only one function. If you have enabled line crossing 
detection or intrusion detection, when you enable sudden scene change detection and 
apply the settings, the following attention box pops up to remind you there are not 
enough resources and asks you to disable the enabled VCA type(s) of the selected 
channel(s).
