4.1.3 Motion Detection
Motion Detection Settings
Motion detection can only be set on cameras connected to the network camera recorder software on the same network (LAN).
Motion detection can also be set for cameras set to [MPEG-4] or [H.264] data formats in the Image Settings.
Cameras connected over the Internet cannot perform motion detection.
Motion detection can be selected to either [Perform motion detection with this software] or [Perform motion detection with the camera].
Perform motion detection with this software
Motion detection is performed with this software.
Perform motion detection with the camera
Motion detection is performed with the camera.
When [Perform motion detection with the camera] is selected, motion detection can also be set for cameras set to [MPEG-4] or [H.264] data formats.
Motion detection will not function until the motion detection area is configured.
When the [Auto settings of the camera] (Basic Settings in the Preferences) of this program is enabled and only when motion detection is not configured on the camera, the camera will automatically be set to detect all areas of motion detection area 1. These settings will not be enabled when motion detection is already configured.
The camera will be set to [Non-preset positions] in case the preset position is not configured.
If the preset position has already been configured, [Non preset positions] will be set to the 10 most recent position numbers.
Please configure the motion detection settings directly on the camera, when [Auto settings of the camera] is disabled.
When [Perform motion detection with the camera] is selected, the motion detection status bar is not displayed.
When [Perform motion detection with the camera] is selected, 10 seconds or more are needed before recording can start after detection.
Note
When [Perform motion detection with the camera] is selected, the motion detection monitoring screen is not displayed.
When [Perform motion detection with the camera] is selected, the camera's Panasonic alarm protocol notification will be used. For more information about the Panasonic alarm protocol notification function, see your network camera user manual.
When [Perform motion detection with the camera] is selected, detection notifications from the camera may be slower than the images. In this case, adjust the recording time before detection to match your operational environment.
Depending on the settings of certain cameras, [Perform motion detection with this software] may not be able to be used.
