In-camera motion detection

In-camera motion detection is available on some devices, and allows you to disable iCatcher's internal motion detection and make use of the motion detection data returned from the device.

This is beneficial when there is limited bandwidth to the device or it is incapable of handling multiple streams in different formats.

In-camera motion detection can be enabled for supported cameras in the wizard when adding a camera, or on the detection settings.

When using in-camera motion detection, advanced analytic functions like Masks, ICE, and tripwires/counting are not available. The analytic stream will also be unused and disabled.

If you want to mask off areas, you will need to add exclusions in the camera itself (where supported).

Axis devices

When using Axis devices, iCatcher will try and enable the trigger data and create a default motion detection window covering the whole image.

If you want to adjust the motion detection window or add exclusions, this can be done in the device's setup under Events, Motion Detection, where you can also adjust the target object size and sensitivity.

Vivotek devices

When using Vivotek devices, iCatcher will try and enable motion detection and create a default motion detection window covering the whole image.

If you want to adjust the motion detection window, this can be done in the device's configuration under Applications, Motion detection, where you can also adjust the sensitivity and target object size.

Web view

When you try and access the web view for a feed configured to use in-camera motion detection, iCatcher will request a second stream from the device temporarily at its native resolution.
