When adjusting camera settings, you are able to view the effect of your settings by clicking the
Preview
Image
button, located at the bottom of the window.
Clicking the
Preview Image
button will provide you with an image from the camera in question, as it would
look with the settings specified in the
Camera Settings
section.
When you have found the best possible camera settings, click
OK
to apply the settings for the camera.
Adjust Motion Detection Window
The
Adjust Motion Detection
window lets you specify motion detection sensitivity for a specific camera.
Depending on your configuration, motion detection sensitivity settings may determine when recordings from the
camera are transferred to the surveillance system, when alerts are generated, when external outputs (such as lights
or sirens) are triggered, etc.
Motion detection sensitivity is therefore a key element in your NetDVMS surveillance solution, and time spent on
finding the best possible motion detection settings for each camera may help you later avoid unnecessary alerts, etc.
Depending on the physical location of the camera, it may be a very good idea to test motion detection settings under
different physical conditions (day/night, windy/calm weather, etc.).
The Adjust Motion Detection window
Access:
You access the
Adjust Motion Detection
window by clicking the
Motion Detection...
button in the
Camera
Settings for [Device Name] [Camera Name]
window
.
Note:
Before you configure motion detection sensitivity for a camera, it is highly recommended that you have
configured the camera's image quality settings, such as resolution, compression, etc., in the
Configure Device
window
, and that you have specified any areas to be excluded from motion detection (for example if the camera
covers an area where a tree is swaying in the wind or where cars regularly pass by in the background) in the
Define
Exclusion Regions
window
. If you later change image quality settings and/or exclusion area settings, you should
always test motion detection sensitivity settings afterwards.
The
Adjust Motion Detection
window features two sliders; one for setting
Noise Sensitivity
and one for setting
Motion
Sensitivity
