AXIS Camera Station - How to...

Set up motion detection for different light conditions

Different motion detection settings are used for when it’s dark as images become more noisy or grainy at night

which would be misinterpreted as movement. The Low-light threshold or the point set on the slide bar will

instruct AXIS Camera Station to which Motion detection settings to use (Normal or Low-light) when detecting

movement.

1. Set the Low-light threshold when Normal light becomes Low-light, during conditions such as dawn or

dusk. Low-light is defined as when the green bars go over the threshold point.

Motion detection in Low-light conditions:

2. Click on the Low-light tab under Motion detection settings. Set Motion sensitivity so that the green bars

in the Activity bar reach the threshold during no movement. Smaller movements will be detected as the

sensitivity is increased.

3. When there is motion in the camera’s image, set the Threshold slider to level where you want the

recording to be triggered.

Motion detection in Normal conditions:

4. Under the Normal tab Set the Motion sensitivity level so that a few green bars appear in the Activity bar

when there is no motion in the camera’s image.Smaller movements will be detected as the sensitivity is

increased.

5. When there is motion in the camera’s image, set the Threshold slider to level where you want the

recording to be triggered.

6. Continue at step 4 of Set up continuous recording, on page 13, to enter recording quality and image

settings.

Triggers and actions

Trigger (only) when motion stops - Check this box if you would like an alarm when motion stops. This is useful,

for example, in factory situations, where it would be beneficial to receive an alarm if a conveyor belt or other

moving machinery stops.

While motion set I/O - Here you can set a defined alarm to be Open or Closed when motion is detected. An

example of this could be, motion is detected and an alarm or siren should go off or recording from another

camera should be triggered.

Set up motion detection using the camera’s built-in motion detection

1. Under Alarm triggered recording, check the Motion

triggered recording box and the Use camera

built-in motion detection radio button. Click on the

Settings button that became active and the Camera

Motion Detection dialog opens.

2. Click on Link to camera to configure the motion

detection settings in the camera’s Setup pages. See

the camera’s online help for more information.

3. See Triggers and actions above to set up recordings

when motion stops or to set another alarm’s state as

Open or Closed.
