It is important to realize that there are also lots of cases where the 

video motion detection 

is 

recommended.   

 

 

Scenes  where  the  forbidden  area  has  to  be  marked  precisely

 

–  using  video 

motion detection it is possible to define the forbidden area on video display with the 

accuracy of a pixel. 

 

 

Use  more  than  one  motion  detection  region  and  manage  their  events 

independently

 

– while PIR considers the whole scene as one area, video motion 

detection  system  allows  defining  multiple  regions  and  setting  customized  event 

responses for each region. For example, the camera that has two doors in its view 

can be set up with two motion detection regions 

– the left door and the right door. 

 

 

The  scenes  where  the  distant  objects  have  to  be  detected

 

–  video  motion 

detection can detect far-away objects even if they appear very small. 

 

 

Distinguish large and small objects

 

– video motion detection has a function called 

“threshold” by which the size of the triggered object can be defined. This way, it is 

possible to detect movement of people while ignoring the movement of pets. 

 

ACTi  provides  both  video  motion  detection  and  PIR  detection  and  these  two  functions  can 

even be used at the same time!
