<configuration content encoded in Base64 format>

All data in the configuration is encoded in a Base64 format. Please refer to the encoder/decoder sample codes

at the end of this appendix.

To validate the data, there is a hidden checksum inside the configuration content. Because the dword-aligned

checksum algorithm is used, the last data misaligned by dword can be ignored.

Motion Detection Commands

You can configure the motion detection sensitivity area to be either the entire screen or up to three specific areas. Each

area can have its own name and threshold setting. Once the moving indicators exceed the user-configured threshold,

a motion detection event will be triggered.

This is the definition of the sensitivity area coordinates on a 640x480 resolution image.

The home (0, 0) position is located at the left-top corner. The horizontal position, x, will be expressed as an integer value

from 0 to 639 (left to right). The vertical position, y, will be expressed as an integer value from 0 to 479 (top to bottom).

The left-top corner is the start position. The right-bottom corner is the stop position.

Whatever the current streaming resolution is, the replied coordinate always maps to the 640x480 scale.

OK\r\n

Notes:

The first motion window is used for full screen.

•

Use “md_switch1” as the switch for “full screen” or “sub-windows”.

•

The md_window1 is always set to 640x480 resolution.

If “md_switch1=1”, then the Camera will detect the entire video screen. With this setting, the remaining

windows (sub-window 1~3) cannot be configured.

If “md_switch1=0”, then the Camera will detect the “md_window2~4” areas.
