When the
Alarm Sensor
of the MOBOTIX camera (or the active connected CamIO or ExtIO)
is triggered, event recording and/or alarm notification are activated (see
Section 3.6.4,
“Setting The Recording Mode” and Section 3.6.6, “Setting Up Alarm Notifications”).
You can set up alarm sensors using the pop-up menu of the time period (right-click the time
period). You can also set the alarm sensors using the pop-up menu of the corresponding

Video Motion Detection
: The alarm is triggered when a MOBOTIX camera detects
a VM event. The MOBOTIX camera uses video motion windows to detect changes
in the live camera image. You can select a predefined set of video motion windows
from the pop-up menu of this button. You can specify whether or not the window
will be visible in the camera image with the
Show Video Motion Windows option.
This option can be used to check the windows and create user-defined windows
(see below).
For more information, see
Defining Video Motion Windows later on in this section.

The alarm is triggered when a PI event is triggered in a
MOBOTIX camera. MOBOTIX cameras of the model series

and

are equipped
with a PIR sensor (Passive Infrared Sensor) as standard.
