Detectors

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.

Motion Detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement starts or stops in the camera view.

Motion detection is configured by defining up to 10 Include and Exclude windows:

Include windows

— define areas where motion should be detected

Exclude windows

— define areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside Include windows

are automatically ignored).

For instructions, see

Set Up Motion Detection Windows on page 30

.

To control the number of motion detection alarms, the parameters

Object Size

,

History

and

Sensitivity

can be adjusted. See

Motion Detection Parameters on page 30

.

Once motion detection windows are configured, the Axis product can be configured to perform actions when motion is detected.
Possible actions include uploading images and start recording. For more information, see

Set Up Action Rules on page 34

.

Note

• Using the motion detection feature may decrease the product’s overall performance.

• The position of the Motion Detection Window is relative to the orientation of the Camera. Changing the orientation of the

camera will also change the position of the Motion Detection Window.

Set Up Motion Detection Windows

To set up a motion detection Include Window, follow these instructions:

1. Go to

Detectors > Motion Detection
