There are two parameters for setting the motion detection: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the
illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between
the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C), and will be compared with the
sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects. Higher
sensitivity settings are expected to sense a slight movement while smaller sensitivity settings
tend to neglect it. When the sensitivity is set to 70%, the Network Camera defines the pixels in
the purple areas as “alerted pixels” (frame D).
Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the
motion detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identified as “alerted pixels”. When the
percentage is set to 30%, the motions are judged to
exceed the defined threshold
; therefore, the
