Motion Search
Motion search is used to search video for motion, independently of settings made for Motion
detection. A motion search is performed using View software. See the Rapid Eye View Software
Operator Guide for procedures and tips.
Comparing Motion Detection and Motion Search
Motion search differs from motion detection. See table 7–1, below.

Camera Sabotage: Detection
Flexibility
Use of camera sabotage detection (CSD) is optional. In use, operators obtain an alarm or a log
entry when a camera is blinded, blurred or moved. The settings for CSD are made on each
camera, separately. Video is not affected by CSD settings.
