Stuffed Dinosaur, what happens if we move him back a mere 5 feet compared to our Object Size experiment. Distance and speed of the object also comes into play. Typically you want this high.Įasy right? Well, it gets a bit more complex. But in practice it is simply that the higher the sensitivity the better chance it will identify the object. The documentation describes the color of objects. History is just the amount of time it takes to do that.įinally Sensitivity, it’s not exactly what you expect according to the documentation. Once you stop the camera will treat you as part of the image. Essentially this means you can run in front of the camera waving your hands like a lunatic. At a low history level an object will trigger motion detection for only a short period. Selecting a high history level (move the slider to the right) means that an object will trigger motion detection for a long time before it is considered part of the image. History, according to the Axis documentation, is defined as the object memory length. The red area is the only thing that will actually trigger notification to the user that some motion has been detected. The blue area simply shows the object has not crossed the boundary of motion detection you have setup (the black line represents the Object Size) while the red shows it has crossed the boundary. When you trigger motion it will show you that an object has been detected. Stuffed Dinosaur (as we call him) dancing across the screen. The best way to play with this is to have your motion detection window up and start triggering a motion with the camera. By default it is set at 15% (that just means the slider is mostly to the left, for some reason the documentation talks about percentages but they don’t show percent values when you move the slider). The more you move the slider to the right, motion detection will only trigger on larger objects. If you click the question mark Axis provides some documentation on guidelines for these parameters. They are the “Object Size”, “History” and “Sensitivity”. Specifically I’m going to use my Axis M1031-W camera for this tutorial.įirst of all you need to login into your camera with whatever IP you have setup and go to Setup->Events->Motion Detection.įor the purposes of this tutorial I want to focus on three key parameters you will want to play with but I should note window placement is also equally important and is covered in this blog.
I’m most familiar with the M series of Axis cameras but this should apply to most other Axis cameras. One question that comes up regularly is how you tune it for optimal motion detection. You can use Camcloud video monitoring with an Axis camera (you can read our Axis Setup Guide) and we recommend them to our customers.
