APC AP95100 Power supplier AP95100 User Manual

Use the Camera Masking task to specify the conditions that will cause the camera motion sensor of 
selected devices to generate an alert, to specify a motion sensitivity mask (to ignore motion is user-
specified areas of the image) for selected devices, or to specify a block-out mask (to prevent user-
specified regions of the image from being seen.

After you select a group from the Group list or one or more devices from the Devices in... list and start the 
Camera Masking task the device selection window appears. In addition to the IP address/hostname and 
status of each selected device, the Mask Settings device selection window also includes the following 
task-specific information columns: 

• Monitored Device: The label that is assigned to the device, if any.

• Enable Camera Motion: Indicates whether camera motion sensing is enabled on this device.

• Show Outline of Detected Motion: Indicates whether the Show outline of detected motion option is 

enabled on this device. When this option is enabled, any region of an image captured by the device 
that is determined to be indicative of motion is surrounded by a dotted-line outline.

Select a device from the Mask Settings device selection window and then click Edit to open the Mask 
Settings window. The Mask Settings window includes two tabbed panes:

• The Motion Mask pane: Use the settings available from this pane to configure the Camera Motion 

sensor to ignore movement that is detected in specified regions of the image capture.

• Block Out Mask pane: Use the settings available from this pane to configure the cameras of selected 

devices so that specified areas of the image cannot be seen. Note that the functionality in this pane is 
enabled for use only on devices for which the Premium Software Module has been purchased.

Use the settings available from this pane to configure the Camera Motion sensor to ignore movement that 
is detected in specified regions of the image capture. The following controls are available on the Motion 
Mask tab:

Block-out mask functionality is available only on devices for which the Premium 
Software Module has been purchased.

Sensitivity 

The Sensitivity setting specifies how much change in a portion 
of the image capture will be tolerated before the changed image 
data is considered movement. Lower values indicate less 
tolerance for change between images and therefore higher 
sensitivity.

Area of Motion

The Area of Motion setting specifies how large an area of the 
image capture must change (as determined by the Sensitivity 
value) before the changed image data is considered movement. 
Lower Area of Motion values indicate smaller areas and 
therefore higher sensitivity.
