AXIS Q7401 - Event Configuration
Motion Detection
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.
• Incl
uded 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 appear in the
list of available triggers, for triggering events. See How to set
up a triggered event, on page
22.
Notes
Using the motion detection feature may decrease the video encoder’s overall performance.
