Motion
In the Motion tab, you can set up motion detection for your camera.
- Choose the detection source by selecting By camera, By Surveillance Station, or Disable from Detection Source.
- If you select By camera (The By camera option only appears when the camera supports motion detection), the camera built-in motion detection will be used. This option provides the following detailed settings:
- By ticking the Keep original camera settings checkbox, the system uses the current camera settings to define the detection area.
- You can also fine-tune the values of Detection Area, Sensitivity, History, Threshold, Object size, and Trigger percentage (available parameters are subject to camera capability) by unticking the Keep original camera settings checkbox. The value range is 1 to 99 (%). Each detection parameter value proportionally correlates with camera values.
Note: Please go to the settings page of your IP camera to make sure motion detection is enabled.
- If you select By Surveillance Station, analytics will be run on the server end, and may increase NAS system loading. This option provides the following detailed settings:
- You can fine-tune values for Sensitivity and Threshold. The value range is 1 to 99 (%).
- By selecting Ignore short-lived motion, you can set the number of seconds before triggering motion detection.
- By clicking Edit Detection Area, you can define the detection area. Panoramic detection area is the default setting
- If you ticked the Trigger motion detection events checkbox in the other detection sources tab, then when these detection sources are triggered, motion detection events will also be triggered. You can click the number below to see all motion related events.
Note:
- Detection Area: The detection area for motion detection. The parameters below are effective only when the type is Included. The Excluded areas are mainly used to mask the portions in the included areas where you wish to avoid triggering the motion.
- Sensitivity: The sensitivity for motion detection. Larger values will trigger motion detection more easily. This is a factor in determining how large the difference between a series of frames needs to be to trigger motion detection.
- Threshold: The threshold of motion detection. Larger values will trigger motion detection for larger movements. Smaller values will trigger motion detection more easily.
- History: The history of motion detection. Larger values will trigger motion detection for a longer period of time.
- Object size: The size of the object. Larger values will trigger motion detection for larger moving objects. Smaller values may trigger motion detection for smaller moving objects.
- Trigger percentage: The percentage of the object in the view. Larger values will trigger motion detection for larger moving objects. Smaller values may trigger motion detection for smaller moving objects.
