B PLOTSTALKER ACTIVITY SEARCH
ACTIVITY SEARCH
The Search Feature will scan through your photos and automatically look for changes in regions that you identify in Setup.
In search mode, the PlotStalker software scans through the .MLT photo file, stops on a photo when changes are found in your identified region, and then highlights the changes in blue. You can click anywhere in the video viewing area to remove the blue highlights.
ACTIVITY SEARCH SETUP
Click the Settings button to activate the Region and Sensitivity settings for the Activity Search
DEFINE SEARCH REGION
Provides the ability to search for changes in the photo in a specific region rather than the entire photo.
1.Click on the Set Motion Search Area Button.
2.Use the mouse to select and drag the red outline around the area you want to search for movement. This allows you to focus on a very precise area if required.
3.Click OK button on the Settings Popup window to confirm your settings and exit the menu.
SENSITIVITY
Set to High, Medium or Low - This sets the level of pixel change the program will detect.
Note: A pixel change occurs when a change in color, intensity, lighting or movement is detected, so this setting is critical to be able to jump to the desired frames.
DEFAULT SETTINGS
