Analytics
Analytics is a feature which detects and tracks objects in video. Analytics supported are Motion Detection and
Motion Tracking.
Motion Detection
Motion detection can be used to trigger an Event Action. When enabled, motion detection is applied to the full-
screen field of view. When the camera is moving for PTZ operations, motion detection is suppressed.
Motion Detection Best Practices
To ensure you get the highest quality results when using Motion Detection on the camera it is recommended that
you adhere to the following:
• An object exhibiting motion needs to be at least 8x8 pixels in size to be detected.
• The color of the object (in gray scale) should be approximately 10-15% different than the background.
• Try not to point cameras into sunlight, because high brightness will prevent detection of movement of
bright objects such as a person with a white shirt.
