Detection algorithms can see them.

Motion Detection with Region of Interest (500i Series Only)
(Preset positions 90 through 99)
With the 500i Series AutoDome, the motion detection software can be configured to create a
Region of Interest within multiple preset positions or scenes. It can take advantage of Virtual
Masking to ignore motion in predefined areas. Motion Detection can also be used as an Alarm
Rule input.
Preset positions 90 through 99 are reserved for programming motion detection scenes.
To set up a scene with Motion Detection:
1.
Choose an unused Preset position from 90 to 99. For this example use Preset scene 95.
2.
Enter the keyboard command SET-95-ENTER.
3.
Select YES at the Apply Motion Detection? prompt. (If NO is selected, the Preset scene
does not activate Motion Detection.)
4.
Select YES at the Apply Region of Interest? prompt. (If NO is selected, the entire scene is
used for Motion Detection.)
5.
Follow the on-screen menu instructions to construct the shape of the screen area you
want to detect motion within.
