• Avoid triggering on small objects in the video image by setting the object size level to high.
• To reduce the number of triggers if there is a lot of movement during a short period of time, select a high
history level.
• To only detect flashing light, low sensitivity can be selected. In other cases, a high sensitivity level is
recommended.
Port Status
Under Event Configuration > Port Status there is a list showing the status for the
cameras’s input and output. This is for the benefit of Operators, who have no access to the
System Options section.
Example: If the Normal state for a push button connected to an input is set to Open circuit - as long as the but-
ton is not pushed, the state is inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.
