Select the required analysis algorithm. 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 is 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 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.

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.

Sensitivity 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.
