mdzonesize

  ‒  size  of  motion  detection  zones  measured  in  number  of 

32x32  pixel  blocks  in  each  zone;  All  zones  are  squares  of  the  same  size 
from 7x7 to 15x15 (valid values are 7 to 15 for MP1 and MP2 and 8 to 15 
for AV3100 and MP3-DN) 

 

mdlevelthreshold

  ‒  motion  detection  threshold  that  determines  the 

sensitivity to local inter-frame brightness changes (valid values are 2…31). 
Lower  settings  may  cause  false  motion  detection  due  to  noise.    This 
parameter  corresponds  to  “Level”  under  “Motion  Settings”  in  AV  Video 
System GUI. 

 

mdsensitivity

  ‒  sensitivity  of  the  motion  detection  to  sudden  overall 

lighting  changes.  This  allows  preventing  false  triggering  due  to  sudden 
overall brightness change that triggers motion detection in a large number 
of zones simultaneously. If more than this number of zones have motion it 
is assumed that the change is due to lighting change and detected motion 
is ignored;  (recommended values are 40 for MP3-DN, 30 for MP2 and 20 
for MP1).  This parameter corresponds to  “Limit” under “Motion Settings” 
in AV Video System GUI. 

 

mddetail

  ‒  allows  controlling  the  size  of  detectable  moving  objects.  The 

value  is  the  number  of  32x32  sub-zones  within  each  zone  that  should 
contain  motion  for  the  entire  zone  to  be  considered  to  contain  motion. 
(valid  values  are  1  through  square  of 

mdzonesize

).  This  parameter 

corresponds to “Detail” under “Motion Settings” in MP Video System GUI. 

 

mdprivasymask

  ‒  Privacy  matrix.  An  8-byte  array,  where  each  byte 

corresponds  to  one  row  of  motion  detection  zones.  Each  bit  in  a  byte 
enables  motion  detection  in  a  corresponding  zone,  if  set  to  ʻ1ʼ.  Leftmost 
zone is controlled by MSB, rightmost zone by LSB.  

 

Example: 

set?mdprivasymask=2a8f3d135b71ee04 results in the 

following enabled zones relative to camera image: 

 

 

 

01010100

mdresult

  ‒  Motion  detection  information  returned  by  the  camera;  The 

return value is “no motion” if motion has not been detected, otherwise the 
motion detection information is returned in the following format:
