VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION
FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

3. Configure the display settings for the selected stream. Available display settings are determined by the video compression of the selected
stream:
H.264 compression: For the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream, select Unicast and Multicast from the Transmission drop-down menu.
JPEG compression: For the Secondary Stream or QuickView Stream, select Images Per Second (IPS) from the Throttle drop-down menu.
4. Click the Select button to save the stream settings.
Refer to the following sections for more information:
•Primary Stream and Secondary Stream on page 22
•QuickView Stream on page 22
•Event Stream on page 22
•Unicast on page 23
•Multicast on page 23
•Throttle on page 23
PRIMARY STREAM AND SECONDARY STREAM
The Primary Stream and Secondary Stream are video streams that include compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings. The streams
can be set up using a video preset setting or they can be customized using the video configuration settings.
A video preset is a predefined video configuration that offers a good balance between video performance and bandwidth usage. For easy stream
configuration, use the Video Presets page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams tab.
To customize the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream, select the Settings page and then use the Video Configuration page located in the dropdown menu of the A/V Streams tab. Configurable settings include the stream name, compression, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and I-frame
interval of the video streams. The default names for the streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream; however, if these stream names are
changed, the new names replace the default names (Primary Stream and Secondary Stream) on the Select Stream page.
QUICKVIEW STREAM
The QuickView Stream is a predefined JPEG video stream with a lower resolution. This low resolution, low frame rate stream is available when
the Imaging tab settings are being configured. This allows users to view changes to exposure, white balance, and other settings as they are
configured and before the settings are saved.
The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth limitations that might cause a high
resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.
The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream.
EVENT STREAM
The Event Stream displays a list of alerts triggered by a running analytic behavior. The alert includes a screen capture, the profile that was
triggered, and the zone where the alert was detected. For the Event Stream to work you must have an analytic behavior profile running. To set up
and run analytic behaviors, profiles, and zones, use the Analytic Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the Events tab.
22C2267M (11/12)
UNICAST
A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although multiple users might request the same data
from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera
consumes additional processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera.
The camera supports a maximum of 20 simultaneous users.
MULTICAST
A multicast transmission sends data to multiple users at the same time using one transmission stream. Each multicast user that connects to the
camera consumes no additional processing power; therefore, multicast video streams can be sent to an unlimited number of simultaneous users.
THROTTLE
Throttle sets the upper limit on the image rate delivered to your computer. Lowering the throttle reduces the load on the network and on your
computer, which might be helpful when resources are limited.
TAKING A SNAPSHOT
1. Click the “Take a Snapshot” button.
2. A dialog box opens, allowing you to open or save the file.
3. Select one of the following options:
Open: Your computer’s photo editing program opens and displays the screen image. This function is available only when using
Microsoft
Save: The image is saved as a JPEG file at the location you specify.
Cancel: The captured image is not opened or saved and the dialog box closes.
NOTE: If you are using JPEG, the captured image is the size of the largest MJPEG stream. If you are using H.264, the image is captured using the
QuickView Stream, which is a low resolution image.

System Tab
Use the System tab to change general system settings, configure the time settings, set up the text overlay for the live view, configure backup and
restore, and display system information.
General System Settings
The general system settings page includes configurable fields for the device name, time settings, and text overlay settings. The device name is
the user-friendly description of the camera displayed in the gray area near the top of screen. The time server is an external server that uses
Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the camera date and time settings. The text overlay settings allow you to customize the appearance
of the video by displaying the device name, the date and time, and other overlays at the top or bottom of the video stream.
You can also use the general system settings page to turn the camera’s LEDs on or off and to configure the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
server to send an email notification when an event handler is activated.
NOTE: Contact your network administrator for information on configuring email notification on your local network.
You can also use the general system settings page to generate a system log, reboot the camera, or restore the camera’s factory default settings.
Backup and Restore Settings
The backup and restore settings page includes configurable fields for backup and restore of camera settings. Once the camera settings have

Network Tab
Use the Network tab to change the camera’s general network settings, select the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) settings, enable Secure Shell (SSH),
configure 802.1x port security, and select Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) settings.
General Network Settings
The general network settings page includes configurable and read-only fields for network communication settings. Available settings include the
host name, ports, and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) settings for IPv4. The port settings determine the ports over which the camera
communicates using HTTP, HTTPS, and RTSP protocols. The hardware address is read-only.
You can also enable or disable the DHCP server from the general network settings page. DHCP automatically assigns an IP address to the camera
if there is a DHCP server on the network. If DHCP is set to On, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server settings are read-only text.
If DHCP is set to Off, these settings must be manually changed. The default camera setting for DHCP is On.
SSL Settings
The SSL settings page includes SSL configuration modes and certificate generation. To ensure security on the Internet, all Web browsers provide
several security levels that can be adjusted for sites that use SSL technology to transmit data. SSL encrypts communications, making it difficult
for unauthorized users to intercept and view user names and passwords.
SSL requires signed certificates to determine if the Web browser accessing the camera has the required authentication. The camera can
generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign
a self-signed certificate using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.
®
), or it can generate
SSH Settings
The SSH settings page enables or disables SSH access to the camera. SSH is a user-enabled protocol that allows Pelco Product Support to log on
to and service the camera for advanced troubleshooting purposes. From the SSH settings page, users with the appropriate permissions can
enable or disable SSH access to the camera.
802.1x Settings
The 802.1x settings page enables or disables 802.1x port security, which authenticates devices that want to establish a point-to-point access
through a wired or wireless port using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) protocols. This port-based authentication method prevents
unauthorized access to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a physical port. For example, when a device is connected to a network port, the
network switch asks the device for authentication. The device replies with its credentials. If the credentials are accepted, the network switch
opens the port for normal use. If authentication fails, the device is prevented from accessing information on the port.
SNMP Settings
The SNMP setting page includes SNMP configuration settings. SNMP is an application layer protocol used to manage TCP/IP-based networks
from a single workstation or several workstations. The camera supports SNMP versions 2c and 3 and can be configured to send data using a trap.

Imaging Tab
Use the Imaging tab to change the camera’s general image settings, adjust the camera exposure, tune the white balance settings for scenes with
fluctuating lighting conditions, define window blanking privacy areas, configure presets and preset tours, and select positioning settings.
General Imaging Settings
The general imaging settings page includes adjustments for freeze frame, digital zoom, focus settings, and digital processing.
Freeze frame settings freeze the previewed image when a preset is called, which allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to another.
Preset freeze frame also reduces bandwidth and guarantees that blanked areas are not revealed when a preset is called.
Digital zoom settings allow the camera to zoom 240X (12X digital and 20X optical) or stop at 20X optical.
Focus settings adjust the autofocus, sure focus, and focus trace. Digital processing settings adjust the device’s sharpness, saturation, contrast,
and brightness and include Quick Setup and Noise Reduction settings.
Exposure Settings
The exposure settings page includes adjustments for exposure, day and night, backlight compensation, and wide dynamic range (WDR)
processing.
Exposure is the amount of light detected by the camera sensor. A scene with correct exposure settings has adequate detail and contrast between
white and dark values. An image with too little or too much exposure eliminates detail in the scene.
Day/night settings control the position of the IR cut filter, which determines the color or black-white setting of the camera. Day/night settings
change depending on the exposure settings.
Backlight compensation enhances objects in the center of the picture. The device uses the center of the picture to adjust the iris. If a bright
backlight is present, the subjects in the picture might appear dark or as a silhouette. If there is a bright light source outside of this area, it might
wash out to white. The device adjusts the iris so that the object in the sensitive area is properly exposed.
WDR processing balances the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to produce a picture that is better balanced in lighting and provides more
detail.
White Balance Settings
The white balance settings page defines how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. White balance is especially
effective in scenes with changing lighting conditions or in scenes with more than one type of light source. For example, scenes that benefit from
white balance correction are outdoor scenes, indoor scenes that include a window or door that opens to the outdoors, or indoor scenes that
include both incandescent and fluorescent lighting.
Window Blanking Settings
The window blanking settings page configures window blanks that conceal user-defined privacy areas. A blanked area appears on the screen as
a solid gray window. The device can handle up to 32 blanked windows.
Presets Settings
The presets settings page configures presets, which are predetermined viewing areas (such as doors) that a device goes to automatically when
instructed, either by an operator giving a simple command or a software program issuing an instruction. A maximum of 255 presets can be
configured for the device. Presets are available while viewing video.
Preset Tours Settings
The preset tours settings page configures a preset tour, which is a grouping of presets that displays each predetermined viewing area in the
sequence for a determined length of time before displaying the next preset. A preset tour can contain a maximum of 16 presets in any order, and
presets can be repeated anywhere in the sequence.
Positioning Settings
The positioning settings page includes configurable settings for pan/tilt speed, pan center point, pan limit stops, and tilt limit stops. The pan/tilt
speed settings control the pan and tilt speeds. The pan center point sets the center point to the pan angle displayed in the video preview pane on
the right side of the window. The pan and tilt limit stops control the pan and tilt range of the camera. When limit stops are set, a pan or tilt
operation stops when a limit is reached.

A/V Streams Tab
Use the A/V Streams tab to configure the video and audio streams for the camera. The A/V Streams tab includes video presets settings, and
video and audio configuration.
Video Presets Settings
The video preset settings page includes three fully-configured video presets, High, Medium, and Low, which include primary and secondary video
stream settings for easy setup. These presets can also be used as a starting point for a custom video configuration. These preset configurations
vary depending on camera model.
Video Configuration Settings
The video configuration settings page allows you to customize the compression, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and I-frame interval of the video
streams. The default names for the streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream. Although each stream can be configured independently,
the settings of one stream can limit the options available to the other stream, depending on the processing power used.
NOTE: Always configure the primary stream before the secondary stream. The primary stream should always be the most resource-intensive of
the streams.
Audio Configuration Settings
The audio configuration settings page allows you to setup the internal audio device or an external audio device. The default setting for audio is
disabled, which means that no audio is transmitted from the camera. When enabled, audio is transmitted from the camera to the PC. Based on
your system configuration, images and audio might not be synchronized.
Not all camera models are equipped with an internal audio device. Refer to the specifications for your camera model for information.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment might subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of
such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and might require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are
solely responsible for insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.

5. Configure the Compression Standard, Resolution, Image Rate, Bit Rate, and I-frame Interval settings for the primary stream.
NOTE: The compression standard, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and I-frame interval settings are dependent on each other. You must first
decide the priority setting before you configure a stream. For example, if you want an image rate of 30 ips, set the image rate before you
configure the other settings.
8. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
COMPRESSION STANDARDS
JPEG: A commonly used video compression scheme. JPEG has the least impact on the camera’s processor, but it requires the most bandwidth.
MJPEG: Another video compression scheme, motion JPEG, in which video is compressed into JPEG images. When bandwidth is low, image
resolution is given priority.
H.264: A new version of MPEG-4 compression used in high-definition video players such as Blu-ray™ and HD-DVD. H.264 is the most
processor-intensive, but it requires the least amount of bandwidth.
RESOLUTION
Refer to the following table for the resolution capabilities of your camera model.
Table D. Available Camera Resolution
Camera Model 2.0 Megapixel
1920 x 1080
1280 x 720
Available
Resolutions
800 x 448
640 x 352
480 x 272
320 x 176
IMAGE RATE
The image rate is the number of images per second (ips) available for the video stream configuration. Available image rates depend upon the
model of the device that you are using.
NOTE: The maximum image rate setting might not be obtainable due to the compression standard and the resolution of the stream.
Refer to the following section for more information:
•Specifications on page 72
46C2267M (11/12)
BIT RATE
The bit rate is the quality of the video stream (rendered in kilobits per second). The higher the value, the higher the video quality and bandwidth
required.
NOTE: When you change any of the video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the bit rate. If you manually reduce
the bit rate lower than the camera's automatic setting, the image quality might be reduced and the stream selection options might be limited.
I-FRAME INTERVAL
The I-frame interval configures the number of partial frames that occur between full frames in the video stream. For example, in a scene where a
door opens and a person walks through, only the movements of the door and the person are stored by the video encoder. The stationary
background that occurs in the previous partial frames is not encoded, because no changes occurred in that part of the scene. The stationary
background is only encoded in the full frames. Partial frames improve video compression rates by reducing the size of the video. As the I-frame
interval increases, the number of partial frames increases between full frames. Higher values are only recommended on networks with high
reliability. This setting is only available with H.264.
QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES CODE POINT
Quality of Service (QoS) for Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a code that allows the network to prioritize the transmission of different
types of data. This setting is only available with H.264.
NOTES:
•If you are not familiar with DSCP, contact your network administrator before changing this setting.
•Your network must be configured to use QoS. If you are unsure if your network is QoS-aware, contact your network administrator.
ENDURA SIGNING
Enabling the Endura Signing feature allows an Endura® system to authenticate video from an Endura recorded stream. This setting is only
available with H.264.
PROFILE
The profile defines the subset of bit stream features in an H.264 stream, including color reproduction and additional video compression. It is
important that the selected profile is compatible with the recording device so that a stream can be decoded and viewed.
Baseline: A simple profile with a low compression ratio. A baseline profile is compatible with more recorders but uses more bits to compress
quality video than the other profiles. This profile supports I-frames and P-frames. Use the baseline profile in applications with limited scene
changes; for example, an indoor scene with a single, unchanging primary light source and minimal motion.
Main: An intermediate profile with a medium compression ratio. The default setting is main. This profile is compatible with most recorders and
uses fewer bits to compress video than the baseline profile; however, it uses more bits than the high profile. The main profile supports I-frames,
P-frames, and B-frames.
High: A complex profile with a high compression ratio. This is the primary profile for high-definition television applications; for example this is
the profile adopted for Blu-ray and HD-DVD. The high profile supports I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames.
GOP STRUCTURE
The group of pictures (GOP) structure is the sequence in which frames are placed within a video stream. The GOP structure always includes
intra-coded frames (I-frames) and predictive coded frames (P-frames), but it can also include bi-directionally predictive coded frames (B-frames).
Each GOP structure starts with an I-frame: an image of the complete scene that is used as the reference frame in the structure. P-frames record
data changes that are different than the previous frame. This allows the video encoder to save space since the data of the I-frame is not
duplicated. B-frames not only capture data changes from the previous frame, but they also capture the data changes from the frame after the
B-frame. B-frames are more compressed than P-frames and require more processing power to be decoded.
The camera can be configured to use one of the following GOP structures:
IP: A compression that uses only I-frames and P-frames to provide low latency and a high level of decoder support. This GOP structure is
compatible with more recorders and decoders than IBBrBP.
IBBrBP: The most sophisticated H.264 compression available. IBBrBP provides the highest quality image at a given bit rate, but it also increases
the latency of the video and requires more processing power for decoders.
C2267M (11/12)47
SELECTING AUDIO CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
To use audio with the camera if it does not have built-in audio support, you must connect an audio device to the accessory port. Once the device
is connected, audio can only be enabled through the primary stream.
Audio and video may not be synchronized when viewing and listening to the primary stream through a Web browser. You may experience a
three-second delay in video when viewing the primary stream with audio.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of
such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are

Events Tab
Use the Events tab to configure camera events and analytics.
Events are activated by user-defined event sources that tell the camera how to react when an event occurs. Event handlers are the actions that
the camera takes when an event occurs. For example, a system source can be configured to send email to an operator if the system shuts down
and restarts.
Sources Settings
The sources settings page defines the camera functions that are automatically triggered by an event source. The camera supports Alarm,
Analytics, Park Action, System, and Timer sources. The Alarm source is the camera input for an external signaling device, such as a door contact
or motion detector. The Analytics source triggers when any configured behavior is detected. The Park Action source activates a user-defined
event if the camera is inactive for a specified period of time. The System source is activated when the camera restarts. The Timer source is a
user-defined event that activates an event after a specified amount of time.
Handlers Settings
The handlers settings page defines the actions that a camera takes when an event occurs. The camera supports Send Email, Upload JPEG to FTP
Server, Go to Preset, Open/Close Relay, and Run Tour handlers. The Send Email handler sends an email to a defined email address when an event
is activated. The Upload JPEG to FTP Server handler saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server. The Go to Preset handler moves
the camera to a user-defined preset. The Open/Close Relay handler sends a signal to an external device when an alarm or relay is triggered. The
Run Tour handler starts a user-defined preset tour.
NOTE: The Pelco Alarm accessory must be connected to the camera’s accessory port for Open/Close Relay to work.
Analytic Configuration Settings
The analytic configuration settings page includes behaviors for which you can create custom profiles that contain different camera settings. With
these profiles, you can set up different scenarios for the behavior that automatically detects and triggers alarms when the specific activity is
detected.
Pelco analytics can be configured and enabled using a standard Web browser. The camera is preloaded with user-configurable behaviors and is
capable of running several behaviors at the same time. The number of behaviors is limited to the available processing power of the camera.
Available processing power is determined by the settings for compression standards, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and analytic configuration.
Pelco analytics are also compatible with Endura® or a third-party system that supports alarms using Pelco’s API. Refer to the specific product
documentation for instructions on how to configure and enable Pelco analytics.
NOTE: Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through Pelco’s API.
Pelco analytics include the following behaviors:
Abandoned Object: Detects objects placed within a defined zone and triggers an alarm if the object remains in the zone longer than the
user-defined time allows.
Adaptive Motion: Detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm when the objects enter a user-defined zone. The
objects are monitored until they exit the scene.
AutoTracker: Detects and tracks movement in the camera’s field of view. When the AutoTracker behavior is configured, the system
automatically pans and tilts to follow the moving object until the object stops or disappears from the monitored area.
Camera Sabotage: Detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed by spray paint, a cloth, or if it is
covered with a lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm.
Directional Motion: Generates an alarm in a high traffic area when a person or object moves in a specified direction. For example, when a
camera is pointed at an exit door, if someone tries to enter through the exit door, an alarm triggers.
Loitering Detection: Identifies when people or vehicles remain in a defined zone longer than the user-defined time allows. This behavior is
effective in real-time notification of suspicious behavior around ATMs, stairwells, and school grounds.
Object Counting: Counts the number of objects that enter a defined zone. This behavior can be used to count the number of people at a store
entrance/exit or inside a store where the traffic is light.
Object Removal: Triggers an alarm if an object is removed from a user-defined zone. This behavior is ideal for customers who want to detect
the removal of high-value objects, such as a painting from a wall or a statue from a pedestal.
52C2267M (11/12)
Stopped Vehicle: Detects vehicles stopped near a sensitive area longer than the user-defined time allows. This behavior is ideal for parking
enforcement, suspicious parking, traffic lane breakdowns, and vehicles waiting at gates.
Refer to the following sections for more information:
•Sources on page 53
•Handlers on page 55
•Analytic Configuration on page 59
SOURCES
An event is a preconfigured camera function that is activated automatically by an event source. The camera supports the following types of event
sources:
Alarm: An alarm source is an input for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. If the Pelco Alarm accessory is
connected to the dome’s accessory port, the dome can support four alarm sources.
Analytics: An analytic source activates a user-defined event handler when an analytic alert is detected.
Park Action: A park action source activates a user-defined event handler if the device is inactive for a specified period of time.
System: A system source activates a user-defined event handler when the camera restarts.
Tim er: A timer source activates a user-defined event handler after a specified amount of time.

ANALYTIC CONFIGURATION
To configure an analytic behavior using a standard Web browser, you must create a profile, select the behavior for the profile, and then create the
zones to be monitored by the behavior.
NOTES:
•This section explains how to configure and enable Pelco analytics using a Web browser.
•Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through Pelco’s API.
Refer to the following sections for more information:
•Profiles on page 59
•Behaviors on page 61
•Zones on page 62
PROFILES
A profile defines the scene attributes of a behavior including scene type, background movement, and noise sensitivity. When configured properly,
a profile accurately detects behavior violations and decreases the number of triggered false alarms.
Profile Settings
For each behavior, you can create several custom profiles that contain different settings. These settings include:
Name: Assigns a descriptive name to the profile to make it easier to recognize and locate. Consider naming profiles based on their function.
Camera preset: Selects an existing camera preset for the profile.
Scene type: Sets the scene type of the profile. Available settings include Indoor and Outdoor.
Background: Defines the background movement of the scene. Available settings include Still or Noisy. If the background is stable, with few
moving objects, set the background to Still. If the background is busy, with many moving objects, select Noisy.
Fine tuning: Defines the zone violation sensitivity. Available settings include Conservative, Normal, or Aggressive. Conservative is the least
sensitive setting and reduces the amount of triggered false alarms, but it could miss some zone violations. Aggressive is the most sensitive
setting and detects all suspect objects, but it could trigger more false alarms. Normal falls between conservative and aggressive sensitivity and
provides moderate results.
Sensitivity: Defines the minimum motion an object can move before a behavior is activated. Settings range from 1 (low) to 10 (high). The
selected setting identifies any movement lower than the defined setting as noise, and ignores it. The higher the setting, the greater the chance
for a false alarm. A lower setting reduces the chance for a false alarm, but it could result in missed violations.

ADAPTIVE MOTION
The Adaptive Motion behavior detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm when the objects enter a user-defined
zone. The objects are monitored until they exit the scene.
The Adaptive Motion behavior is designed to work indoors and outdoors to track a few moving objects in uncrowded fields of view. The behavior
learns the background scene over time and adjusts to changing conditions like snow, fog, wind, and rain.
Analytics events, including Adaptive Motion, are displayed on the live video page when viewing the Event stream. You must configure both an
analytics event source and the appropriate event handlers in order to receive notifications when an Adaptive Motion alarm is triggered.
Scene Setup for Adaptive Motion
Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activity.
The ideal scene for Adaptive Motion behavior is one with light traffic and a clean background. If heavy traffic or a busy background is
unavoidable, place the user-defined zone in a relatively stable area.
Avoid crowded scenes where people move in all directions or stand in one place for long periods of time.
NOTE: Objects that are very small might not be classified as the correct object type. This could result in false alarms or alarms not being
triggered. If objects appear too small in the scene, zoom in on the particular zone of interest or move the camera closer to the zone of interest to
increase the relative size of the objects in the scene.
Selecting Adaptive Motion Settings
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.
2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the profile that you want to use from the Select Profile list.

CAMERA SABOTAGE
The Camera Sabotage behavior detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed by spray paint, a
cloth, or if it is covered with a lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm.
Scene Setup for Camera Sabotage
Install the camera in a high position, looking down on the scene. The field of view should be as large as possible. A small field of view could
result in the view being blocked by an adjacent object.
Avoid scenes with a dark, uniform background; low lighting; and large moving objects.

default setting is 3 seconds.
Alarm severity: Defines the severity of an alarm to allow the prioritization of alarms.
7. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
66C2267M (11/12)
DIRECTIONAL MOTION
The Directional Motion behavior generates an alarm in a high traffic area when a person or object moves in a specified direction. Typical
installations for this behavior include the following examples:
Airport gate: Cameras observe passengers boarding a plane in a terminal. If a person moves in the opposite direction of the normal flow of
traffic, an alarm triggers.
Traffic flow: An operator wants to observe traffic flow in a tunnel. If a car enters a tunnel through an exit, an alarm alerts the operator to
activate the traffic signals to stop all traffic in the tunnel.
Exit doors: A camera is pointed at an exit door. If a person tries to enter through the exit door, an alarm triggers.
Scene Setup for Directional Motion
Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activity. The width of the
object to be detected should be at least one-tenth of the total width of the scene. To achieve increased accuracy in a crowded scene, set the
width of the object to one-sixth of the total width of the scene.
The ideal scene selection for the Directional Motion behavior is light traffic, minimal object obstructions, a clean background, and a scene in
which objects or people move in a single direction (for example, a vertical hallway); however, the behavior can be used in settings that do not
meet all of these requirements. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place the monitoring zone in a relatively stable area.
Avoid crowded scenes where people move in all directions or stand in one place for long periods of time.
Selecting Directional Motion Settings
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab.
2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the profile that you want to use from the Select Profile list.

7. After you have defined the desired zones, adjust the following zone settings:
Name: Assigns a descriptive name to make the zone easier to distinguish when viewing detection messages.
Direction: Detects and tracks moving objects and people that move in a specified direction within the defined zone.
Zone sensitivity: Determines the amount of movement (both object size and distance traveled in the wrong direction) that must be
detected before an alarm is triggered. Zone sensitivity can be set at a lower or higher setting than the global sensitivity setting.
Enable alarm: Turns on the zone alarm, which displays a log of analytics events in the Event stream on the live video page. Alarms can
also trigger an event handler if sources and handlers are configured for analytics.
Alarm severity: Defines the severity of an alarm to allow the prioritization of alarms.
Dwell time: Defines the amount of time that an alarm remains activated after the alarm-triggering object exits the zone.
8. Click the “Enable advanced options” box to adjust the following additional settings:
Sensitivity: Overrides the global Profile sensitivity setting. Defines the motion detection sensitivity, which includes minimum motion
sensitivity and minimum motion size. The default setting is 5; settings range from 1 (low) to 10 (high).

OBJECT COUNTING
The Object Counting behavior counts the number of objects that enter a user-defined zone. This behavior can be used to count people at a store
entrance/exit or inside a store where the traffic is light. It might also be used to monitor vehicle traffic on highways, local streets and roads,
parking lots, and garages.
Scene Setup for Object Counting
If you plan to detect people, install the camera pointing downward (vertically) above regular motion activity. If you plan to detect vehicles, install
the camera pointing downward at a slight angle above regular motion activity.
The ideal scene selection for the Object Counting behavior is one with light traffic, minimal object obstructions, and a clean background. If heavy
traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place the monitoring zone (polygon or line) in a relatively stable area.
