APC NBRK0570 User Manual

Select a camera from the Camera Pods window and click Masking. Masking is available only on the 
NetBotz Rack Monitor 570, 550 or on appliances for which the Advanced Software Pack has been 
purchased. For more information, contact your NetBotz authorized reseller or the NetBotz support team.

Camera-based motion sensing compares concurrent image captures and determines whether any detected 
changes are significant enough to generate an alert. An alert is generated only if observed changes meet 
the criteria specified by both the Sensitivity and Area of Motion settings.

For Pelco cameras, custom settings are available to set the Sensitivity and Area of Motion more 
precisely. Setting these values too high or too low can produce constant motion detection alerts, or no 
alerts, depending on the camera.

Note: If you have the Advanced Software Pack installed, this window also features a Block 
Out Mask tab.

The following controls are available:

 

To unmask a masked region, click and drag in the image to draw a box around the region you want to 
unmask. Click Unmask Selection to remove the mask from the selected region. Red Xs displayed in the 
selected region are removed.

Enable Camera Motion 

Check to enable the camera motion sensor.

For Pelco cameras, the camera motion sensor is enabled by default. 

Sensitivity

Specifies how much change in a portion of the image capture is 
tolerated before the change is considered movement. Lower values 
indicate higher sensitivity and less tolerance for change between 
images.

For Pelco cameras, an additional custom setting is available to set 
the Sensitivity % to a value from 1 - 100.

Show outline of detected motion 

When enabled, any region of an image that indicates motion is 
surrounded by a dotted-line outline. This feature is not available 
with Pelco cameras.

Area of Motion

Specifies how large an area of the image capture must change 
(based on the Sensitivity value) before the change is considered 
movement. Lower Area of Motion values indicate higher sensitivity 
and smaller areas.

For Pelco cameras, an additional custom setting is available to set 
the Area of Motion to a number of16x16 pixel blocks from 1 - 100.

Motion Detection Mask 

Specify regions of the image to be ignored by the Camera Motion 
sensor.

To mask a portion of the image, click and drag to draw a box around 
the region to ignore. Click Mask Selection. Red Xs appear in the 
region.
