Axis 26031r3 User Manual

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the 

video image. A total of 10 Include and/or Exclude windows can be configured.

• Included windows target specific areas within the whole video image
• Excluded windows define areas within an Include window that should be ignored 

(areas outside Include windows are automatically ignored)

Once configured, the motion detection windows will appear in the list of available triggers, 

for triggering events. See How to set up a triggered event above.

Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera’s overall performance.

1. Click Motion Detection in the Event Configuration menu.
2. Click the Configure Included Window radio button and click New.
3. Enter a descriptive name under Window name.

at the top and drag to the desired position).

details). Any detected motion within an active window is then indicated by red 

peaks in the Activity window (the active window has a red frame).

6. Click Save.

Please see the online help 

for descriptions of each available option.
