2.7.5 Configure the VMD settings [VMD area]
The video motion detection areas can be set on this page.
The VMD areas can be set up to 4 areas for each preset position (maximum 256 preset positions). When motion is detected in the set area, it will be regarded as an alarm.
The camera can be configured to take an alarm action even when the camera is not at the preset position.
IMPORTANT
•
The alarm occurrence indication button will be displayed when receiving an alarm input of a terminal alarm or a command alarm.
•
Depending on the network environment, notification may be delayed even when “Real time” is selected for “Status update mode” on the [Basic] tab of the “Basic” page (→
2.4.1 Configure the basic settings [Basic]).
•
After configuring the VMD area, the VMD area may move out of alignment when “Image capture mode” of the [Image] tab is changed. Make sure to check the VMD area after changing the “Image capture mode” setting.

The motion detection function is not the dedicated function to prevent thefts, fires, etc. We are not responsible for any accidents or damages that may occur.
