Button
Description
motion detected on a device itself are not VMD Events; they are
input events, since they are based on input from the device.
VMD events can be used just like regular input events. For example,
a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) camera could move to a specific preset
position when a VMD event occurs.
Only one VMD event can be defined per camera.
In order to avoid the risk of an excessively high number of VMD
events being generated, a VMD event cannot occur more frequently
than every five seconds.
The Add VMD Event (Motion Detection) button works slightly
different depending on whether the selected device is a single-
camera device or a multi-camera device, such as a video encoder:
•
Single-camera devices: Clicking the Add VMD Event
(Motion Detection) button will instantly add a VMD event to
the selected device, provided a VMD event has not already
been defined for the device.
•
Multi-camera devices: Clicking the Add VMD Event (Motion
Detection) button will open a simple dialog in which you
select the required camera. This way you are able to define
a VMD event for each camera on a multi-camera device.
