MOTION DETECTION
The
SW-D8000U
offers motion detection capabilities, including built-in Activity Detection. Activity
detection is used to adjust the rate at which cameras are recorded and can activate an output relay
to cause automatic external actions such as speed change on the VCR, or floodlights, or audio
announcements and so on.
3.5.1
ACTIVITY DETECTION
Activity detection simply looks for changes in the luminance in various selected areas of the
screen, and if changes are above a set threshold (sensitivity) then the activity detector interprets
that to be activity. Typically, activity detection is used to detect activity in crowded areas, where
activity is not the result of intruders and where human traffic is normal and expected.
If activity is detected the
SW-D8000U
will automatically change recording speed according to its
programmed settings. If a relay has been programmed to be activated, then it will respond as
programmed until the activity ceases.
Indicators
: If enabled in programming, the indicator ‘
M
’ will appear in each camera scene
whenever activity motion has been detected. The indicator is not present on full-screen analog
displays. This motion indicator will stay on each active camera’s display for at least 2 seconds
after the motion has ceased.
If alarm input is activated by one of the
SW-D8000U
internal motion detector channels, the unit
will react in exactly the same way as for any other external sensor activating that alarm input.
