Introduction

This article provides a guide on how to utilize the motion detection function of your VIGI camera using the Web User Interface (Web UI).

Objective

You will be guided on motion detection and other functions related to motion detection using the VIGI Camera Web Interface.

Requirements

• PC: Make sure the computer and VIGI camera are on the same network or that the PC can reach the IP Camera’s IP address.
• VIGI camera (Certain functions may vary depending on the specific camera model. In this example, VIGI InSight S385 was used).

Configuration

The configuration includes activating motion detection, enabling "Human" or “Vehicle” for object classification, setting up notifications and alarms, defining custom activity zones, and adjusting the motion sensitivity (Low, Medium, or High).

Configuration for Enabling Motion Detection

Step 1: Login locally to your Camera.

To access the camera's web interface, use its IP address. Ensure your computer and the VIGI camera are on the same network, or that the PC can otherwise reach the camera's IP address.

The "Not private/Not secure" warning you see in your browser is because the local management certificate is self-signed. Most browsers don't trust these certificates as they are not issued by a recognized Certificate Authority (CA). These authoritative certificates are primarily used to verify the authenticity of a remote server.

However, even if our self-signed Certificate is not trusted, the connection between your browser and the devices' Local Management is secure.

Step 2: Go to Settings > Event > Basic Event > Motion Detection . Click on the toggle button to enable Motion Detection.

Configuration for Notifications

Step 1: Login locally to your Camera.

Step 2: Go to Settings > Event > Basic Event > Motion Detection and scroll down to the bottom of the page to choose the notifications you want to enable.

Configuration for Smart Detection

When enabled, an event will be triggered only when the selected target is detected moving in this area.

Step 1: Login locally to your Camera.

Step 2: Go to Settings > Event > Basic Event > Motion Detection and scroll down to Smart Detection. Click the Checkbox to enable Human and/or Vehicle detection triggers.

Configuration for Active Alarm

Step 1: Login locally to your Camera.

Step 2: Go to Settings > Event > Basic Event > Motion Detection and scroll down to Processing Mode. Choose Active Defence-Light Alarm and/or Active Defence-Sound Alarm.

• When the Active Defence-Sound Alarm is enabled, the camera will emit a powerful sound upon detecting a human or vehicle, based on the options you've selected in the Smart Detection settings.
• When the Active Defence-Light Alarm is enabled, the camera will flash a powerful light upon detecting a human or vehicle, based on the options selected in the Smart Detection settings.

Configuration for Detection Zones

You can use this function to restrict motion detection to custom zones. The camera will not detect motion outside of these designated areas. Entire view is covered by default.

Step 1: Login locally to your Camera.
