Temperature Detection
Temperature detection is used to generate an alarm whenever the temperature changes according to dened conditions:
• The temperature rises above a specied temperature
• The temperature falls below a specied temperature
• The temperature increases above a specied rate
Temperature detection is set by conguring up to six temperature detection zones in the camera view. Once temperature detection
zones are congured, the Axis product can be congured to perform actions when temperature changes are detected. Possible actions
include display of overlay text and start recording. For more information, see Set Up Action Rules on page 38.
Note
To detect temperatures above 150 °C (302 °F), the area above this temperature area must be larger than 3% of the exposure
zone. To resize the exposure zone, see Exposure Settings on page 18.
Set up Temperature Detection Zones
To set up a temperature detection zone with detection conditions that apply for action rules, follow these instructions:
Basic Settings
1. Go to Detectors > Temperature Detection
2. Click New to create a new zone and enter a descriptive name.
3. Adjust the zone size (drag the frame) and the zone position (click on the text at the top and drag to the desired position).
4. Select the Detection Type for the zone:
- Above (A): Triggers if the temperature rises above the level (C) that you have set in the Detection Temperature
eld. By default, maximum temperature in the zone is used as the base for temperature detection.
