3.3.5 Motion Detection
The Digital Video Security System includes a powerful and flexible motion detection
capability that can be calibrated to suit most environments. Digital Video Security System
has a built in pixel based motion sensor feature. If movement is detected within the camera
screen, motion will be detected and various alarm sequences (eg. Record video, email,
etc.) will commence.
In order to activate Motion Detection (it is defaulted to OFF), click on the
icon, and
select the Motion Detection Setting as Active. The screen will blink with a Yellow color
when motion is detected.
Active:
You have the option to have motion detection ON or OFF. The default setting is
set to OFF. To activate the motion feature, add a check mark by clicking the Active
checkbox
Alarm Duration (seconds
): Alarm Duration is set to 30 seconds, meaning that DVS will
wait 30 seconds between each motion being detected before it activates. For example: If
the Motion Detection is set to compare video frames every 1/10 of a second, then moving
very slowly with imperceptible changes between video frames can evade detection.
Likewise, if the Motion Detection is set to compare frames every 3 seconds, then moving
quickly in between these checks can also evade detection.
Lighting:
Depending on the environment the camera is installed in, you will have 4
selectable settings:
1. Standard Indoor
2. Fluorescent
3. Outdoor
4. Sunny Outdoor
