• Avoid triggering on small objects in the image by selecting a high 

size level.

• To trigger motion detection as long as there is activity in the area, select a high 

history level.

• To only detect flashing light, low 

sensitivity can be selected. In other cases, a high sensitivity level is 

recommended.

Under Event Configuration > Port Status, there is a list that shows the status for the 

connected inputs and outputs of the AXIS 241Q/241S. This is for the benefit of an 

operator, who cannot access the System Options section.

If the Normal state for a push button connected to an input is set to Open circuit, as long as the button is 

not pushed, the state is inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.

If there are parts of the Include window that you wish to exclude, click the 
Configure Excluded Windows radio button and repeat steps 1-8 above.
