AXIS 242S IV - Event configuration
Motion detection
In the Motion Detection menu, you can configure the video source(s) for motion detection.
The motion detection feature is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or
stops) in the image. The AXIS 242S IV can use a maximum of 10 Include/Exclude
windows.
•
Include
windows target specific areas within the image
•
Exclude
windows are areas to be ignored within the Include window
Once configured, the motion detection windows will appear in a list when motion
detection is selected to trigger an event. See
How to set up a triggered event
above.
Note:
Using the motion detection feature may decrease overall performance in the video server.
