Server side functions

The server side functions detect motion within the image, tampering attempts on the camera, and differences to a reference image. For the server side functions, images are analysed by motion detection modules on the server (see Adding server-based motion detection module). For example, a server side motion detection event can be used to trigger an alarm scenario.

Server side image analysis by the motion detection module causes high resource load. Therefore it is recommended to use the camera side motion detection (see Camera side functions).

  1. Select the server side operation menu.
  2. Select a video classification (see Video streams). The video classification determines which video stream is used for motion detection. The video streams are ordered according to their use of network bandwidth ("HD quality" requires a broadband connection, whereas "Mobile" decreases the image quality for slow networks). For image comparison, select a video stream for low bandwidths. Motion detection, reference image comparison and tampering resize the images to 320x240 pixels internally if they are larger.
