AXIS M1065-LW Network Camera
About detectors
Note
• To trigger on small objects or movements, use several small motion detection windows rather than one large window,
and select a low object size.
• To avoid triggering on small objects, select a high object size.
• While monitoring an area where moving objects are not expected, select a high history level. This will cause motion
detection to trigger as long as the object is present in the window.
• To only detect flashing light, select a low sensitivity. In other cases high sensitivity is recommended.
Audio Detection
The Axis product can be configured to generate an alarm when audio rises above or falls below the threshold value. The threshold
value can be set in the range 0–100 where 0 is the most sensitive and 100 the least sensitive.
1. Go to
Detectors > Audio Detection
.
2. Set the audio alarm level and click
Save.
3. Go to
Events > Action Rules
and set up an action rule, see
How to set up action rules on page 41
Detected audio is indicated by colored peaks in the
Activity
indicator. An event is triggered when detected audio rises above or falls
below the threshold value, which is represented by the bar.
PIR Sensor
The PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor detects motion by measuring changes in infrared light. The sensor can for example be used
in low-light environments where video motion detection is not reliable. When configured, the camera can automatically switch
on the light when triggered by the PIR sensor.
To adjust the sensitivity of the PIR sensor, an action rule that activates the built-in light when the PIR sensor detects motion is useful:
1. Go to
Events > Action Rules
and click
Add
.
2. Select
Detectors
from the
Trigger
list and then select
PIR
.
3. Select
Activate Light
as the action.
4. Click
OK
to save the rule.
5. Go to
Detectors > PIR Sensor
.
6. Make sure there is movement in front of the camera and adjust the
Sensitivity
until the light is activated.
7. When satisfied, click
Save
.
By setting up action rules, the Axis product can be configured to, for example, record video when the PIR sensor detects motion.
If the camera is used in a low-light environment, an action rule that turns on the built-in light can improve image quality of
the recorded video.
