Name Description
Sensitivity
Adjust the Sensitivity slider so that irrelevant background noise is
filtered out, and only real motion is shown in green. Alternatively,
specify a value between 0 and 256 in the field next to the slider to
control the sensitivity setting.
The slider determines how much each pixel must change before it
is regarded as motion. With a high sensitivity, very little change in a
pixel is required before it is regarded as motion. The more you drag
the slider to the left, the more of the preview becomes green. This is
because with high sensitivity, even the slightest pixel change is
regarded as motion.
Motion
Adjust the Motion slider so that motion detection is only triggered
by the required level of motion. The selected motion level is
indicated by the black vertical line in the Level bar above the
sliders. The black vertical line serves as a threshold. When motion
is above (to the right of) the selected level, the bar changes color
from green to red, indicating a positive motion detection.
Alternatively, specify a value between 0 and 10000 in the field on
the left to control the motion setting.
The more you drag the slider to the left, the more positive motion
detections you see because less change will be needed to trigger a
positive motion detection. The number of positive motion detections
may also affect the amount of video you record, the amount of
notifications you receive and more.
Detection interval
Specify how often motion detection analysis is carried out on video
from the camera. The default is every 240 milliseconds (close to
once a quarter of a second). The interval is applied regardless of
your cameras' frame rate settings.
Adjusting this setting can help lower the amount of system
resources used on motion detection.
Detection resolution
Specify whether the full image or a selected percentage of the
image should be analyzed. For example, by specifying 25%, every
fourth pixel is analyzed instead of all pixels, reducing the system
resources used but also offering less accurate motion detection.
Properties available in XProtect Enterprise only:
Keyframe Only
Select Keyframe only if you want motion detection to take place
only on keyframes of the video stream to reduce the system
resources used on motion detection.
Manage user access wizard
Use the Manage user access step to add individual users so they can access the system and its
clients. The access summary at the end of the wizard lists the cameras your users have access to.
