Configuring the VM event and the video motion windows
In order to fine-tune the VM event and the video motion windows, the following
parameters are available:
• Video Motion Style: This parameter determines how the video motion win-
dows are displayed in the camera image:
• On and highlight on event: If the camera detects movements, the frame
of the triggering VM window will turn bright red. Otherwise, the video
motion windows are shown as dotted frames. This is the factory default
setting.
Use this setting if the video motion windows should always be seen on all
camera images.
• Hide but highlight on event: If the camera detects movement, the frame
of the triggering VM window will turn bright red; if nothing is detected,
neither the window nor the dotted frame are visible.
Use this setting if you would like a "clean" camera image without any dis-
tracting elements, but if you would like to see which video motion window
has detected movements.
• On and hide on event: If the camera detects movements, the camera
software will hide the frame of the triggering VM window; neither the win-
dow nor the dotted frame are visible in the event image. Otherwise, the
video motion windows are shown as dotted frames.
Use this setting if you would like a "clean" camera image without any dis-
tracting elements, which could otherwise hide important information from
view.
• Off: The frame is never displayed in the camera images.
Use this setting if you do not wish to get information where the camera
software has detected movements.
• Copy Video Motion Definitions: This option will use the same video motion
windows defined for the right image sensor on the left image sensor of the
camera. This option allows using the same settings for the day and night
image sensors without having to define a separate set of video motion win-
dows for the night image sensor. Note that you should only define video
motion windows for the right image sensor (
Image Sensor
parameter, see
below) if you are using this option.
This option should only be activated for MOBOTIX Dual or Night models with
identical focal lengths for both image sensors, e.g. a MOBOTIX M12 with
D43N43 lenses.
• Dual Lens Video Motion: MOBOTIX Dual camera models can evaluate the
video motion windows of both image sensors, i.e. also on a sensor that is
currently not shown on the camera's Live screen. In contrast, MOBOTIX Night
models will only evaluate the video motion windows of the currently active
image sensor (
Right
or
Left
). Use this option if you would like to evaluate the
video motion windows on both image sensors on Night models.
