About camera tampering
Camera Tampering can generate an alarm when the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is covered, spray-painted or severely
de-focused. To send an alarm, for example via email, an action rule must be set up.
How to configure tampering detection
1. Go to
Detectors > Camera Tampering
.
2. Set the
Minimum duration
, that is the time that must elapse before an alarm is generated. Increase time to prevent
false alarms for known conditions that affect the image.
3. Select
Alarm for dark images
if an alarm should be generated when lights are dimmed or turned off, or if the lens is
sprayed, covered, or rendered severely out of focus.
4. Click
Save
.

Note
The
While the rule is active
option under
Duration

have a duration and once it has been triggered it will not automatically return to its untriggered state.
For more information on actions rules, see
Shock Detection
Enable
Shock Detection
from the
Detectors
menu. Shock detection is used, for example, to generate an alarm if the product is hit
by an object or if the product is tampered with.
Use the
Shock sensitivity
slider to adjust the sensitivity level at which the product should send an alarm. Low sensitivity value
implies that the product will generate an alarm only if the hit is powerful. A high sensitivity value implies that the product will
generate an alarm even with mild tampering.
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.
