MxEasy User Manual: Using MxEasy
– Moving video motion windows: Use the mouse to drag the window to the desired
position. If you move the mouse over the window, it automatically turns into a
hand cursor.
– Resizing video motion windows: Drag the edge of the window using your mouse
to increase or decrease the size of a window. If you move the mouse in the edge
of the window, it automatically turns into a resize cursor.
– Deleting video motion windows: To delete a window, click on the
X button in the
upper right-hand corner of the window or press the Delete key on your keyboard.
The video motion windows for Dual models are drawn separately for the left and
right image. A Panorama view that stretches seamlessly across both images (the
right and left sensors of the camera) can be created for the D14 Sec 180. This enables
the desired video motion windows to be drawn within this image without a problem.
Defining Reference Windows
Reference windows are used to avoid false alarms triggered by unwanted image
changes. If there is lightning, for instance, the sudden brightness changes all of the
pixels in the defined motion sensors and would trigger an alarm accordingly.
Reference windows can avoid these false alarms to a great extent because the
camera does not report an alarm if the motion sensors and reference windows are
triggered at the same time.
Tips For Defining Exclusion Windows
– To create a reference window, hold down the
Alt key and use the mouse to
draw a frame.
– One reference window per camera will normally suce.
– Position the reference windows in image areas whose visible contents do not
normally change (e.g., next to windows or inaccessible image areas).
– Ensure that reference windows and motion sensors do not overlap.
– The same functions are available for editing reference windows as for motion
sensors (move, change size, delete).
Note
The detection of such events as “passive infrared,“ “noise,“ and “signal input“ requires
sensors that are already integrated in some MOBOTIX camera models. These events are
also available in MxEasy. To enable these events for camera models that do not have
integrated sensors, use the MOBOTIX ExtIO module. This module is to be connected
to the cameras and must be configured before being used in MxEasy.
