By default, only Motion+ is available — this offers a motion detector and essential recognition of tampering. Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless this was explicitly excluded. Depending on the analysis type selected and the relevant configuration, additional information overlays the video image in the preview window next to the parameter settings. With the Motion+ analysis type, for example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded are marked with rectangles. Motion detectorMotion detection is available for the Motion+ analysis type. For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:– Analysis must be activated.– At least one sensor field must be activated.– The individual parameters must be configured to suit the operating environment and the desired responses.– The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.Note:Reflections of light (from glass surfaces, etc.), lights switching on and off, or changes in the light level caused by cloud movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended. For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.SensitivitySensitivity is available for the Motion+ analysis type. The basic sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

This setting prevents objects that are too small from triggering an alarm. A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor fields.Debounce time 1 sThe debounce time prevents very brief alarm events from triggering individual alarms. If the Debounce time 1 s option is activated, an alarm event must last at least 1 second to trigger an alarm.Selecting the areaSelect the areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector. The video image is subdivided into square sensor fields. Activate or deactivate each of these fields individually.

The algorithm reacts to the differences between the reference image and the current video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.Trigger delay [s]Set delayed alarm triggering here. The alarm is only triggered after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not triggered. This avoids false alarms triggered by short-term changes, for example, cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera.Global change (slider)Set how large the global change in the video image must be for an alarm to be triggered. This setting is independent of the sensor fields selected under Select Area. Set a high value if fewer sensor fields need to change to trigger an alarm. With a low value, it is necessary for changes to occur simultaneously in a large number of sensor fields to trigger an alarm. This option allows detection, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for example.Global changeActivate this function if the global change, as set with the Global change slide control, should trigger an alarm.Scene too brightActivate this function if tampering associated with exposure to extreme light (for instance, shining a flashlight directly on the objective) should trigger an alarm.

This is either done by duplicating the data stream in the device and then distributing it to multiple receivers (multi-unicast), or by distributing an individual data stream in the network itself to multiple receivers in a defined group (multicast). Enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. Then switch between the streams by clicking the associated tabs.The prerequisite for multicast operation is a multicast-capable network that uses the UDP and IGMP protocols. Other group membership protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However, it is then necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously using the same port and multicast address. The settings must be made individually for each stream.EnableEnable simultaneous data reception on several receivers that need to activate the multicast function. To do this, check the box and then enter the multicast address.Multicast AddressEnter a valid multicast address to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data stream in the network). With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the stream operates in multi-unicast mode (copying of data stream in device). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to five simultaneously-connected receivers.
