Level Meter |
Display level meter as bar graph or scroll chart. The level meter is displayed in the lower left corner. You can choose from different data sources for the level meter. Among other things, the level meter can be used for determining the best trigger level for the microphone, the passive infrared sensor or other definable event or image parameters. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level Meter Data |
Select source for meter. If the selected event is based on an analog sensor (e.g. microphone), the sensor level and the trigger level will be displayed. Otherwise, only a digital curve (0 to 1) representing the event's trigger state is shown. Events in parentheses need to be activated first. Note: The VM and VM2 events are only signaling the trigger status of the first line of the corresponding Video Motion Definitions (i.e. VM window 1)! |

Enable Object Tracing | Moving objects are highlighted in the current live image and the moving object is traced graphically. This feature can help, for example, to discover escape routes.
Note: The object tracing mode is not available on all camera models. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tracing Camera | Object tracing can be restricted to one image sensor or it automatically follows the displayed image sensor. If both sensors are displayed, object tracing will only work on the right image sensor (as seen by the camera).
Note: This parameter is only available on MOBOTIX Dual cameras. |
