IVMD | Configuration instructions Introduction | en 3 1 Introduction IVMD (Intelligent Video Motion Detection) is a software algorithm that detects movements of objects within an environ- ment monitored by a video camera and generates alarm events that can be processed further in a CCTV system. IVMD makes it possible to capture and evaluate directional movement of objects, thereby largely preventing false alarms. IVMD adapts automatically to changing environmental condi- tions and is therefor

If a very large number of objects are detected, a lot of comput- ing power will be required – this will reduce the power that is available for the transmission of live video data. If n

Objects Objects are typically people or vehicles moving within the area seen by the camera. Objects can be filtered according to cer- tain properties (size, direction of movement, speed, location). An alarm event can be generated if objects match certain parameters. Objects that do not match the criteria you defi

For example, you must tell the software that an object that appears on the camera image with a height of 50 pixels is around 2 m high in reality. The camera angle is used to compute object speeds.
