Go to ConfigàEventàObject Removal interface as shown below.

Transcendent IP Cameras v4: Operation Manual
22
1. Enable object removal detection and then select the detection type.

drawing. Click “Clear” button to delete the alarm area. Click “Save” button to save the settings.
5. Set the schedule of the object removal detection. The setting steps of the schedule are the same with
that of motion detection. Please refer to motion detection chapter for details.
※Application Scenario Illustration
1. Object removal detection cannot determine the objects’ ownership. For instance, there is an
unattended package in the station. Object removal detection can detect the package itself but it cannot
determine ownership of the package.
2. Try not to enable object removal detection when light changes dramatically in the scene.
3. Try not to enable object removal detection if there are complex and dynamic environments in the
scene.
4. Adequate light and clear scenery are very important to object removal detection.
Here we take some improper application scenarios for instance.
1.5.2 Exception
To set exception detection:
Go to ConfigàEventàException interface as shown below.
There are so many trees
near the road and cars
running on the road,
which make the scene too
complex to detect the
objects removal.

Transcendent IP Cameras v4: Operation Manual
24
1. Enable the relevant detection as required.
Scene Change Detection: The relevant alarms will be triggered if the scene of the monitor video has
changed.
Video Blur Detection: The relevant alarms will be triggered if the monitor video is blurry.
Video Cast Detection: The relevant alarms will be triggered if color cast happens to the monitor
video.
2. Set the alarm holding time and alarm trigger options. The setting steps are the same with that of
motion detection. Please refer to motion detection chapter for details.
3. Click “Save” button to save the settings.
4. Set the sensitivity of the exception detection. Click “Sensitivity” tab to go to the interface as shown
below.
Drag the slider to set the sensitivity value or directly input the sensitivity value in the textbox. Click
“Save” button to save the settings.
The sensitivity value of Scene Change Detection: The higher the value is, the more sensitive the
system responds to the amplitude of the scene change.
The sensitivity value of Video Blur Detection: The higher the value is, the more sensitive the system
responds to the defocus of the device image. You should adjust the value according to the real
situation.
The sensitivity value of Video Cast Detection: The higher the value is, the more sensitive the system
responds to the color cast of the device image. You should also consider other factors.
