To monitor your cameras for tampering, you must configure integrity monitoring on each camera.

What you should know

  • Camera integrity monitoring can support PTZ cameras that are used as fixed cameras.
  • If you change the position of a camera, you must reset the integrity monitoring feature on the camera so that the Camera Integrity Monitor can recalculate what is considered to be the 'normal' camera view.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Area view task.
  2. Select a camera to configure.
  3. (Optional) Create a camera thumbnail.
    The camera thumbnail is a reference image that the maintenance technician can use to reset the camera to its original position when they fix a camera tampering issue. It is not used by the system for integrity monitoring.
    1. Click the Identity tab.
    2. In the thumbnail area, click Play ().
    3. Click Update thumbnail ().
    4. Click Apply.
  4. Click the Video analytics tab and select Camera integrity monitoring.
  5. Set the Camera integrity monitoring switch to ON.
  6. From the Selected preset list, select the sensitivity preset.
    The sensitivity preset determines how much the Camera Integrity Monitor tolerates changes in the image.
    Low sensitivity
    Use this setting if you’re getting too many false positives.
    Medium sensitivity
    Default setting.
    High sensitivity
    Use this setting if you aren’t getting the expected tampering events.
  7. Click Apply.
