The system performs an alarm linkage when a moving object appears in the image and its moving
speed reaches the defined sensitivity.
●
If you enable motion detection and smart motion detection simultaneously, and configure the
linked activities, the linked activities take effect as follows:
◇
When motion detection is triggered, the camera will record videos and take snapshots, but
other configured linkages such as sending emails, PTZ operation will not take effect.
◇
When smart motion detection is triggered, all the configured linkages take effect.
●
If you only enable motion detection, all the configured linkages take effect when motion
detection is triggered.

This section introduces scene selection requirements, rule configuration, and global configuration
for IVS (intelligent video surveillance).
Here are the basic requirements on the scene.
●
The target should occupy no more than 10% of the whole image.
●
The target size in the image should be no more than 10 × 10 pixels. The size of abandoned object
in the image should be no less than 15 × 15 pixels (CIF image). The target height and width
should no more than a third of the image height and width. The recommended target height is
10% of the image height.
●
The brightness difference of the target and the background should be no less than 10 gray levels.
●
The target should be continuously present in the image for no less than 2 seconds, and the
139
moving distance should be larger its width and no less than 15 pixels (CIF image) at the same
time.
●
Reduce the complexity of surveillance scene as much as you can. Intelligent analysis functions
are not recommended to be used in scene with dense targets and frequent illumination change.
●
Avoid areas such as glass, reflective ground, water surface, and areas interfered by branch,
shadow and mosquito. Avoid backlight scene and direct light.
8.2.2.1 Global Configuration
Set global rules for IVS, including calibration drawing, calibration verification and sensitivity.
Background Information
Determine corresponding relationship between 2D image captured by the camera and 3D actual
object according to one horizontal ruler and three vertical rulers calibrated by the user and the
corresponding actual distance. Here are the applicable scenes.
●
Medium or distant view with installation height of more than three meters. Scenes with parallel
view or ceiling-mounted are not supported.
●
Calibrate horizontal plane, not vertical walls or sloping surfaces.
●
This function is not applicable to scenes with distorted view, such as the distorted views captured
by super wide-angle camera.
Pay attention to the following points.
●
Calibration Drawing
◇
Calibration area: The calibration area drawn should be on one horizontal plane.
◇
Vertical ruler: The bottom of three vertical rulers should be on the same horizontal plane.
Select three reference objects with fixed height in triangular distribution as vertical rulers,
such as vehicle parked at roadside or road lamp poles. Arrange three persons to draw at each
of the three positions in the monitoring scene.
◇
Horizontal ruler: Select reference object with known length on the ground, such as sign on
the road, or use a tape to measure the actual length.
●
Calibration Verification
After setting the ruler, draw a straight line on the image, check the estimated value of the straight
line, and then compare this value with the value measured in the actual scene to verify
calibration accuracy. In case of major difference between the estimated value and the actual one,
fine-tune or reset parameters until the error requirement is met.

In scenes with complex
foreground and background, false
alarm might be triggered for
abandoned or missing object.
Missing
object
When an object is taken out of the
detection area over the defined time,
an alarm is triggered, and then the
system performs defined alarm
linkages.
Fast moving
When the motion speed is higher than
the defined speed, an alarm is
triggered, and then the system
performs defined alarm linkages.
Scenes with sparse targets and less
occlusion. The camera should be
installed right above the monitoring
area. The light direction should be
vertical to the motion direction.
Parking

Appendix 1 Cybersecurity Recommendations
Cybersecurity is more than just a buzzword: it’s something that pertains to every device that is
connected to the internet. IP video surveillance is not immune to cyber risks, but taking basic steps
toward protecting and strengthening networks and networked appliances will make them less
susceptible to attacks. Below are some tips and recommendations from Dahua on how to create a
more secured security system.
Mandatory actions to be taken for basic device network security:
1. Use Strong Passwords
Please refer to the following suggestions to set passwords.
The length should not be less than 8 characters.
Include at least two types of characters; character types include upper and lower case
letters, numbers and symbols.
Do not contain the account name or the account name in reverse order.
Do not use continuous characters, such as 123, abc, etc.
Do not use overlapped characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.
2. Update Firmware and Client Software in Time
According to the standard procedure in Tech-industry, we recommend to keep your device
(such as NVR, DVR, IP camera, etc.) firmware up-to-date to ensure the system is equipped
with the latest security patches and fixes. When the device is connected to the public
network, it is recommended to enable the “auto-check for updates” function to obtain
timely information of firmware updates released by the manufacturer.
We suggest that you download and use the latest version of client software.
"Nice to have" recommendations to improve your device network security:
1. Physical Protection
We suggest that you perform physical protection to device, especially storage devices. For
example, place the device in a special computer room and cabinet, and implement well-done
access control permission and key management to prevent unauthorized personnel from
carrying out physical contacts such as damaging hardware, unauthorized connection of
removable device (such as USB flash disk, serial port), etc.
2. Change Passwords Regularly
We suggest that you change passwords regularly to reduce the risk of being guessed or cracked.
3. Set and Update Passwords Reset Information Timely
The device supports password reset function. Please set up related information for password
reset in time, including the end user’s mailbox and password protection questions. If the
information changes, please modify it in time. When setting password protection questions, it is
suggested not to use those that can be easily guessed.
4. Enable Account Lock
The account lock feature is enabled by default, and we recommend you to keep it on to guarantee
the account security. If an attacker attempts to log in with the wrong password several times, the
corresponding account and the source IP address will be locked.
5. Change Default HTTP and Other Service Ports
We suggest you to change default HTTP and other service ports into any set of numbers between
1024–65535, reducing the risk of outsiders being able to guess which ports you are using.
6. Enable HTTPS
We suggest you to enable HTTPS, so that you visit Web service through a secure communication
channel.
7. MAC Address Binding
We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the device, thus reducing
the risk of ARP spoofing.
8. Assign Accounts and Privileges Reasonably
According to business and management requirements, reasonably add users and assign a
minimum set of permissions to them.
9. Disable Unnecessary Services and Choose Secure Modes
164
If not needed, it is recommended to turn off some services such as SNMP, SMTP, UPnP, etc., to
reduce risks.
If necessary, it is highly recommended that you use safe modes, including but not limited to the
following services:
SNMP: Choose SNMP v3, and set up strong encryption passwords and authentication
passwords.
SMTP: Choose TLS to access mailbox server.
FTP: Choose SFTP, and set up strong passwords.
AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSK encryption mode, and set up strong passwords.
10. Audio and Video Encrypted Transmission
If your audio and video data contents are very important or sensitive, we recommend that you
use encrypted transmission function, to reduce the risk of audio and video data being stolen
during transmission.
Reminder: encrypted transmission will cause some loss in transmission efficiency.
11. Secure Auditing
Check online users: we suggest that you check online users regularly to see if the device is
logged in without authorization.
Check device log: By viewing the logs, you can know the IP addresses that were used to log
in to your devices and their key operations.
12. Network Log
Due to the limited storage capacity of the device, the stored log is limited. If you need to save the
log for a long time, it is recommended that you enable the network log function to ensure that
the critical logs are synchronized to the network log server for tracing.
13. Construct a Safe Network Environment
In order to better ensure the safety of device and reduce potential cyber risks, we recommend:
Disable the port mapping function of the router to avoid direct access to the intranet devices
from external network.
The network should be partitioned and isolated according to the actual network needs. If
there are no communication requirements between two sub networks, it is suggested to use
VLAN, network GAP and other technologies to partition the network, so as to achieve the
network isolation effect.
Establish the 802.1x access authentication system to reduce the risk of unauthorized access
to private networks.
Enable IP/MAC address filtering function to limit the range of hosts allowed to access the
device.
