Alarm configuration

You can configure the camera to identify many different types of alarm events, such as
motion detection, video tampering, alarm inputs and outputs, audio exception, intrusion
detection, and fire source detection.

Motion detection alarms

A motion detection alarm refers to an alarm triggered when the camera detects motion.
However, the motion alarm is only triggered if it occurs during a programmed time
schedule.

Select the level of sensitivity to motion as well as the target size so that only objects
that could be of interest can trigger a motion recording. For example, the motion
recording is triggered by the movement of a person but not that of a cat.

You can define the area on screen where the motion is detected, the level of sensitivity
to motion, the schedule when the camera is sensitive to detecting motion as well as
which methods are used to alert you to a motion detection alarm.

You can also enable dynamic analysis for motion. When there is motion, the area will
be highlighted as green frames.

Normal and expert configuration

There are two types of motion detection configuration. This allows you to set the motion
detection parameters depending on the motion detection environment and thereby help
to reduce false alarms.

Normal configuration mode allows you to set the sensitivity level of the motion
detection. It applies to both day and night mode.

Expert configuration mode gives you much more control over how motion is detected. It
lets you set the sensitivity level as well as to define the percentage of the motion
detection area that the object must occupy in the image, select day or night mode, and
set up eight differently config ur ed defined areas. See Figure 8, item 1.

TruVision IP Thermal Camera Configuration Manual 33
