Enabling Idle Scene Mode

NOTE: Only available to cameras that support this feature.

Idle scene mode offers the option to record video at a different frame rate and quality if there are no motion events detected in the scene.

A motion event is when the camera uses its Pixel Motion Detection or Classified Object Motion Detection ability to identify significant events in the scene. For more information, see Motion Detection.

Idle scene mode is typically used to set the camera to stream at a lower image rate and reduced quality to lower the bandwidth and storage used when the scene is idle.

NOTE: This option is only available if the camera is set to stream in H.264 format.

1. In the Compression and Image Rate dialog box, select the Enable Idle Scene Mode check box.

   The Idle Scene Mode settings are displayed. If the settings do not automatically display, click to reveal the settings.

2. In the Post-Motion Delay: field, enter the amount of time in seconds the scene must be idle before it switches to idle scene mode.
3. In the following Image Rate: bar, move the slider to select the number of images per second (ips) you want the camera to stream while the scene is idle.
4. In the Image Quality: drop down list, select the video image quality when the camera is in idle scene mode.
5. In the Max Bit Rate: field, select the maximum bandwidth the camera can use in this mode.
6. In the Keyframe Interval: drop down list, enter the preferred number of frames between each keyframe.

   To help you determine how frequently keyframes are recorded, the Keyframe Period: area tells you the amount of time that passes between each recorded keyframe.

7. Click OK to save your settings.

Next time the camera's field of view becomes quiet or idle, the camera will automatically switch to idle scene mode. The camera will automatically switch back to standard streaming mode when motion events are detected in the scene.
