c. Motion Detection

An advanced digital video-processing algorithm is used to implement the motion detection function in

the DSR.

The motion detection function is designed to automatically detect any activities within a selected

detection area(s), and to start recording of that camera when activity is detected inside the detection

area(s).

Right-click the mouse button on the video screen of the camera you want to set

motion detection.

A “Motion detection setting” dialog box will pop up for motion detection setting.

1) Setting the Detection Area

Simply click on any spot to select/de-select the grid(s) to form detection area(s) of

any shape in the video screen for motion detection. The 'Select all' button is used

to rapidly select the whole video screen for detection. The 'Clear all' button is used

to de-select all selected areas.

2) Indicating the Detection Area

If you want the detection area to be shown on the video screen during normal

operation, click the 'Show at all times' button.

If you don't want the detection area to be shown in the video screen during normal

operation, click the 'Not show' button.

VCC2

VELLEMAN

3) Setting the Motion Detection Sensitivity

Click the 'Sensitivity Setup' button to display the 'Activity Blocks' to set the sensitivity. The 'Activity

Blocks' will superimpose on the moving object to highlight the activities on the video screen. You can

adjust the sensitivity by using the sensitivity control box. Click the up button to increase the sensitivity

and click the down button to decrease the detection sensitivity.

The sensitivity value displayed in the control box, is an arbitrary value, indicating the relative detection

sensitivity. Adjust the sensitivity by monitoring the 'activity blocks' on the screen to make sure that the

sensitivity is optimally adjusted for motion detection and without false alarm. The user can use the

'Show within detection area' button to confine the 'activity blocks' to the selected detection areas.

4) Setting the Detection Interval

The occurrence of motion is the detected by correlating the successive video frames. In the "Detection

Interval" control box you can adjust the detection interval between these successive frames. The

detection interval is set in units of 100mS. The default value is at 200mS.

5) Recording Time Extension

The motion detected in the detection area(s) will be used as an event to trigger the alarm recording of

the corresponding camera. Once the recording has started, it will continue recording even after the

motion has stopped (= recording time extension).

This extension time can be adjusted by using the 'Post motion rec.' control box. The time interval is

indicated in seconds and is shown in the control box. The default value is 3 seconds.

6) Enabling the Motion Detection Function

Click the 'Motion Detection Enable' box to enable the motion detection function once you have set all the

parameters. (User can temporarily disable the motion detection by unchecking the 'Motion detection

enable' box. All settings of the motion detection will stay unchanged, which makes it easier for the user

to re-enable the motion detection afterwards). Click the 'Close' button; the corresponding camera button

in the display panel will light up with a yellow grid to indicate that the motion detection function has been

enabled. The detection area will be shown in the video screen if the 'Show at all times' button is

clicked.

Tips:

-Use motion detection recording instead of using scheduled recording in order to use the

recorder storage space efficiently.

-Think of using the motion detection in a low activity area and let the DSR (Digital Surveillance

Recorder) monitor the area for you.

-If you use motion detection you will be able to find useful footage more easily through the

search engine.

-Set up the motion detection correctly to prevent too many false alarms from occurring.

-Think of using the alarm scheduler to arm the motion detection so that it can start e.g. after

office hours.

7) Alarm Status Indication

- The status indicators in the "Display" control

buttons are for motion detection status

indication.

- The indicator will light up if the motion detection

is enabled.

- There are three possible alarm settings: no

alarm, alarm set but out of scheduled time and

alarm armed.

- Grey indicator colour: no alarm is set.

- Red indicator colour: motion detection is armed,

the alarm recording can be triggered at any

time.

- Blue indicator colour: motion detection is set but the alarm recording can only be triggered during the

scheduled time period.

d. Recording

STORAGE DRIVE

'Normal' mode of operation: automatically detects available fixed hard disk(s) in the unit for recording.

'Archive' mode of operation: directly records onto the active removable hard disk in the unit.

Notes: The active (selected) drive should be properly assigned before the overall backup and restore

operation is executed. Assign the target drive inside the 'Insert drive' message box by clicking the

'Swap Drive' button while the system is operated in 'Archive' backup mode. Go to 'Option Setting' for

further details.

RECORDING TYPES

Four different recording types are available: Instant recording/scheduled recording/alarm

recording/pre-alarm recording.

RECORDER CONTROL PANEL

There is a "RECORDER" control panel with 4 camera buttons which can be set on and off. Each

button has a different colour to indicate the different recording types and status. The available

indicator colours are red, light blue, yellow and green.

Only one recording type is available to each camera at one time and its priority is as follows:

RED: Alarm recording, initiated by alarm input or motion detection.

LIGHT BLUE: Indicates the pre-alarm function of that camera.

YELLOW: Instant recording, which is initiated by clicking the camera button on the recorder panel

manually.

GREEN: Scheduled recording, which is controlled and started by the programmable timer.

1) Instant Recording

Instant recording is the most interactive way and an easy to use recording method.

-It is designed to start recording instantly to capture some unexpected special events.

-It works complementary to scheduled recording.

-You can simply switch the video recording on or off by clicking the camera button on the

"RECORDER PANEL".

-The button you have clicked will turn yellow as an indication that this particular camera is under

instant recording.

-The instant recording parameters of each camera can be programmed (please see 'Instant

Recording Setting' for parameter setup.)

Note: The instant recording video will be chopped into files of 15 minutes in order to keep the files at an

accessible size.

Tip Instant recording can be used to work at a fast frame rate for a short recording time while

scheduled recording uses a lower frame rate for a longer period of time.

Click on any camera button to start instant

recording of that camera.

Click this button to start instant recording of all

cameras. Click it again to stop recording.

2) Scheduled Recording

-A programmable timer is used for scheduled recording.

-The DSR supports both weekday and weekend scheduled recording.

-The timer will start and stop scheduled recording according to your input.

-A green indicator shows that the camera is recording under timer control.

-The default recording duration is 0, which represents infinity or continuous recording.

- During scheduled recording, you can manually override and start the instant recording mode by

pressing the camera button on the 'RECORDER PANEL' and the light will turn yellow to indicate that

the camera is in instant recording mode.

- However, it will automatically resume scheduled recording once you click the camera button to turn

off that camera. The indicator will turn green again.

- Please see 'Scheduled Recording Setting' for the setup and an example of scheduled recording.

Note: Only by using the logon username 'SUPER' can you gain access to the configuration settings for

scheduled recording.

Note: The instant recording video will be chopped into files of 15 minutes in order to keep the files at an

accessible size.

3) Alarm Recording

- Alarm Recording will be triggered by motion detection.

- Once the alarm is triggered by the motion detection, the corresponding camera will start recording

automatically.

- A red light indicates that the camera is now in alarm recording mode.

- The alarm recording function of an individual camera can be disabled. The alarm recording duration

and the frame rate of each camera can be programmed individually.

- Please see 'Alarm Recording Setting' for setup details.

Note: Only by using the logon username 'SUPER', can you gain access to the configuration settings for

scheduled recording.

4) Pre-Alarm Recording

- Pre-alarm recording works together with alarm recording, which enables you to capture images

before the alarm event has happened.

- Pre-alarm allows images to be temporarily recorded for a short period of time (1 to 60 seconds) in

normal conditions. Once an alarm has been triggered, the pre-alarm images become permanent

files which can be retrieved and played back with the 'Play Back' function.

- The pre-alarm function is set in 'Alarm', 'Recorder Setting' in the 'Utility' menu.

- You can activate the pre-alarm function if the alarm function is selected.

- Please see 'Alarm Recording Setting' for setup details.

5) Scheduled Alarm and Motion Detection

A programmable timer is implemented for scheduled alarm and motion detection.

Please see 'Alarm Recording Setting' for setup details.

6) Recording Audio

HomeGuard has an audio function to record audio trough one of the cameras. Click Utility > Option

Setting > Audio Setting in the main screen.

The user can install a microphone through the computer's sound card (MIC in) or the HomeGuard board

(MIC in). To set the audio recording function, go to Utility > Option Setting > Audio Setting and choose

how the camera's audio is connected to the PC (computer's sound card or Homeguard board).

Before you can activate this function, make sure the sound board is installed and properly configured so

that the microphone can record sound.

Each card provides one audio channel that can be attached to any selected camera(s) for recording.

7) Archive Mode

Click Utility > Option Setting > Backup in the main screen. There are two different configurations for

recording and making backups of the videos.

Normal Mode: It will record the video onto the fixed hard drive (S). If required, you can backup the

recorded video onto a removable IDE drive through the housekeeping function in the Utility menu. The

raw copy of the video can be deleted during the backup process.

Archive Mode: It will record the video onto the assigned removable IDE hard drive(s). When it is about

full, it can be removed from the recorder for additional archiving to DAT or other backup media.

The Digital Surveillance Recorder will maintain continuous recording onto an alternate removable drive

during the archiving operation.

When the videos on a removable drive are obsolete, they can be immediately erased before recording

is resumed on this drive.

The recording configuration of the DSR should be selected at the very beginning of overall system

operation. The normal mode is set by default. To switch to the archive mode, go to the 'Backup

Function' in the 'Option Settings' menu. You will need to have two removable configured IDE hard drives

to support his mode.
