Selecting the area

Select the areas of the image to be monitored by the motion 

detector. The video image is subdivided into square sensor 

fields. Activate or deactivate each of these fields individually. To 

exclude particular regions of the camera's field of view from 

monitoring due to continuous movement (by a tree in the wind, 

for example), the relevant fields can be deactivated.

1.

Click 

Select Area

 to configure the sensor fields. A new 

window opens.

2.

If necessary, click 

Clear All

 first to clear the current 

selection (fields marked red).

3.

Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are 

marked red.

4.

If necessary, click 

Select All

 to select the entire video- 

frame for monitoring.

5.

Right-click any fields to deactivate.

6.

Click 

OK

 to save the configuration.

7.

Click the close button (

X

) in the window title bar to close 

the window without saving the changes.

Tamper detection

Detect tampering of cameras and video cables by means of 

various options. Run a series of tests at different times of the 

day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as 

intended.

Sensitivity

 and 

Trigger delay [s]

 can only be changed if 

Reference check

 is selected.

Sensitivity

The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted 

for the environmental conditions to which the camera is 

subject. The algorithm reacts to the differences between the 

reference image and the current video image. The darker the 

observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Trigger delay [s]

Set delayed alarm triggering here. The alarm is only triggered 

after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if
