AXIS Video Motion Detection Configuration & Tuning

Proper AXIS Video Motion Detection configuration and tuning help ensure reliable motion detection while reducing unnecessary or false events. AXIS Video Motion Detection (VMD) allows supported cameras to detect movement within configured areas and generate events that can be used for recording, notifications, monitoring, and other workflows within YourSixOS.

Camera placement, detection areas, environmental conditions, object movement, and analytic settings can all affect VMD performance. Following recommended installation and tuning practices helps improve event accuracy and ensures motion detection is configured appropriately for the camera’s environment and intended security application.

AXIS Video Motion Detection identifies movement. You can set profiles with detection criteria. In order for the analytic to be accurate, the device must be installed correctly and the settings properly adjusted.
