Motion Detection
On the Motion Detection page, you can define the green motion detection areas in the camera’s field of view.
Motion detection is ignored in areas not highlighted in green.
To help you define motion sensitivity and threshold, motion is highlighted in red in the image panel.
NOTE: This motion detection setting configures pixel change detected in the camera's field of view. If you are
configuring an Avigilon video analytics camera, you will need to configure the detailed analytics motion
detection and other video analytics features through the Avigilon Control Center Client software. For more
information, see the Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide.
