Disable motion detection in specific areas of cameras' views in the Exclude regions section of the wizard. Disabling motion detection in certain areas may help you avoid detection of irrelevant motion, for example if a camera covers an area where a tree is swaying in the wind or where cars regularly pass by in the background.
Cameras that do not support multiple simultaneous video streams cannot connect to the surveillance server and the Management Application at the same time. Milestone recommends that you stop the Recording Server service when you configure such devices for motion detection and PTZ. See also View video from cameras in the Management Application.
For each camera for which exclude regions are relevant, use the list in the left side of the wizard window to select the camera and define its exclude regions. Exclude regions are camera-specific, and you must configure motion detection individually for each camera on which they are required.
When you have selected a camera, you see a preview from the camera. You define regions to exclude in the preview, which is divided into small sections by a grid.
If you use the Exclude All button, you can quickly select all grid sections in the preview. This can be a good idea if you want to disable motion detection in most areas of the preview, in which case you can clear the few sections in which you do not want to disable motion detection. With the Include All button, you can quickly clear all sections.
