Setting Threshold Values

For each included box, you must set two threshold values—sensitivity and size.

Table 1-4

Threshold Settings Fields

Field

Description

sensitivity

Specifies how much a pixel value must change to be considered 
significant. Sensitivity values range between 0 and 255. Auto 
(default setting) should be sufficient for most applications. 

Auto is high enough to filter out most noise and slight lighting 
changes, and low enough to detect most motion. If this does not 
give appropriate detection for your application, select a lower 
value to increase sensitivity to pixel value changes, or a higher 
value to decrease it. 

Note

Setting sensitivity to 255 triggers only with a change 
between absolute black and absolute white. Sensitivity 
values under 10 often trigger from imager noise even when 
no motion is visible to the eye. 

size

Specifies how many pixels in a box must change (by the 
sensitivity) so that enough change has occurred to trigger motion 
detection. Size is given as a percentage of the number of pixels in 
a box so it has values between 0 and 100.
