Configuring motion detection events

If polling for events is enabled (Poll Events Enabled = true) on the MaxproNVR component, the driver polls for events. You can configure the number of events the camera reads in each poll. The driver reads the selected number of events per poll based on the last timestamp (also a property on the MaxproNVR component). The driver updates the Last Read Timestamp with the timestamp of the last received event during the polling cycle. This timestamp becomes the starting point form the next poll.

Prerequisites: You are working in Workbench.

To generate alarms for motion detection events, You need to add a motion-detected event to the Camera Events folder.

Perform the following steps:

To add a motion-detected event, double-click Events under the Maxpro Camera component.
Click Discover.
Add the motion detection event to the database.
A motion detection event has a custom alarm extension called Maxpro Alarm Ext.
During event polling, when the driver receives a camera-motion-started event from the camera, it sets the Motion Detected point under the camera to true. When the camera receives a camera-motion-stopped event from the camera, it sets the Motion Detected point under the camera to false. The custom alarm extension, Maxpro Alarm Ext, automatically generates alarms for each camera-motion event received from the Maxpro NVR. It creates an alarm record with the same timestamp as the event timestamp received from the NVR.
