Create Cut List with Motion Search

With the Motion Search (MOS) functionality you can detect motions for which cut lists can be created. You can detect motions in live images (MOS Live) or in the background for a determined range of time (Background MOS).

To be able to use the MOS functionality, enable the privilege Motion Search (MOS) in the ManCon. Note that this privilege can be enabled for User Groups and individual Users.

MOS Live

With MOS Live, you can detect motions in live images. For the detected motions a cut list can be created.

How to create a cut list with MOS Live:

1. Activate the MOS Live function (see MOS Live).

2. Click on the icon.

   

   Every time a motion is detected, the respective image is added to the cut list.

   If a new motion is detected and the recorded time falls into the current section of the cut list, nothing happens. If the recorded time is outside the current section time, a new section is added to the cut list. If you make any camera changes, such as zooming, pausing, etc., the current cut list is ended and the icon is deactivated.

Background MOS

With Background MOS, you can define an area and a time range in which motions are detected. The Background MOS runs in the background and automatically creates a cut list with the detected motions.

How to create a cut list with Background MOS:

1. Define an area in which motions are to be detected with the Background MOS (see Background MOS).

2. Click on the icon. The Background MOS menu opens.
