RC-E User Manual
Management Client (RC-E Manager)
The selected motion level is indicated by the black vertical line in the motion indication bar above the sliders.
The black vertical line in the motion indication serves as a threshold: When detected motion is above the selected
sensitivity level, the bar changes color from green to red, indicating a positive detection.
Tip:
Your exact motion slider setting is indicated by a number from 0-10.000 in the right side of the slider. This way
you are able to compare the exact motion slider setting between cameras.
Keyframes Settings:
A keyframe is a single frame stored at specified intervals. The keyframe contains the entire view of the camera,
whereas the following frames contain only the pixels that change. This helps greatly reduce the size of files.
If the check box is not available, or not selected, every frame will contain the entire view of the camera.
Image Processing Interval:
You are able to select how often motion detection analysis should be carried out on video from the camera.
From the
Process image every (msec):
list, select the required interval: every 100 milliseconds (i.e. once every tenth
of a second), every 250 milliseconds, every 500 milliseconds, every 750 milliseconds, or every 1000 milliseconds (i.e.
once every second). Default is every 500 milliseconds.
The interval is applied regardless of the camera's frame rate settings.
Detection Method:
You are able to optimize motion detection performance by analyzing only a selected percentage of the image, for
example 25%. By analyzing 25%, only every fourth pixel in the image is analyzed instead of all pixels.
Using optimized detection will reduce the amount of processing power used to carry out the analysis, but will also
mean a less accurate motion detection.
In the
Detection method
drop down-box, select the wanted detection method.
Ignoring Motion Detection in Parts of Images:
The
Exclude Regions
settings in the lower part of the
Motion
tab lets you disable motion detection in specific areas of
a camera's images. Parts of images in which motion should be ignored this way are called
exclude regions
.
Disabling motion detection in specific areas may help you avoid detection of irrelevant motion, 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.
When exclude regions are used with PTZ cameras and you pan/tilt/zoom the camera, the excluded area will not move
accordingly. This might mean that objects originally excluded will be included. This is due to the fact that the exclude
region is locked according to the camera's view, not the excluded region.
Consequently, it is not recommended to use exclude regions with PTZ cameras.
To use exclude regions, select the
Use exclude regions
check box.
Defining Exclude Regions:
When you select the
Use Exclude regions
check box, the preview image will be divided into selectable sections by a
grid.
To define exclude regions, drag the mouse pointer over the required areas in the preview image. Pressing down the
left mouse button selects a grid section; right mouse button clears a grid section.
You are able to define as many exclude regions as you require. Excluded regions are shown in blue.
The blue exclude area indications will only appear in the preview image on the
Motion
tab, not in any other preview
images in the Management Client or access clients.
Grid Size
The value selected in the
Grid size
list determines the density of the grid, regardless whether the grid is shown or
not.
