AXIS Video Motion Detection 4 - trigger event in NX
Answered
Hello everyone, I am starting to evaluate NX with different cameras and I was wondering how to use the built-in Axis motion detection to trigger an event in NX. When using Axis cameras and using the "motion on camera" rule trigger is this trigger the Axis motion detection 4 app? Or would I have to use a "generic event" to use Axis motion detection 4 as a trigger event?
EDIT: If the "motion on camera" rule trigger is not related to AXIS Video Motion Detection 3/4 what is the trigger in the Axis camera?
Thanks for the help

Hi MIchael -
In v3.1 we do not support in-camera events. Motion detection is Server-side and has very little to no impact on server CPU.
In v3.2 we will be introducing in-camera events support for Axis cameras (and a few other brands).

Tony,
Thanks for the response. What does the "motion on camera" event trigger do then? I understand you guys do server-side motion on the second stream but when I use "motion on camera" event trigger with one of my Axis cameras I do get events triggering I just don't know what is triggering the event in the camera.

Here's a good video explaining how to set up and use Motion Detection with Nx Witness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sflRklkGC94
Step 1: Set up your motion zones on a camera (including sensitivity).
Sep 2: Set up rules for actions when motion is detected for a single or multiple cameras.Make sense?

Thanks for the info. I am using the Axis Q1659. Motion detection is working fine in NX but I wanted to see if I could get NX to send me an alert when a person was located in a particular area in the FOV. That is why I was testing the VMD4.
