Note: This document will explain how to setup an event based upon tappering or obscuring the view of the camera

Step 1 – To create and event and action we need to enter the following:

 “Smart Guard Configuration”


 
Click the camera you would like to monitor then click “Insert Event”

Step 2 – Select “Camera Occlusion” from the list. 


 
Click “OK”

Step 3 – Click on “Basic” tab to see other configuration settings (Our example set as per default)


 
Click “OK”

Step 4 – Click “Advanced” tab - We have increased “Sensitivity” slightly to ensure the event will be trigger on slight changes

*Don’t click on “OK”, go to Step 5 for simulation test


 
Step 5 – To test the sensitivity, you may click “Start Simulation” and test for response. Once blocking the view you should see “Event Detected” – Click “Stop Simulation”


 
Click “OK”

Step 6 – Modify the on screen display message. Click on “On Screen Display” then “Configure Action”



Step 7 – In our example, we have modified the following:

Auto popup: Monitor #1 (Send focus to one view)
Display text: Customized “View Obscured”
Color edge: Red


 
Click “OK”

Step 8 – Once finished you should have the following screen


 
Click “OK”

Step 9 – Switch to show 4 views (if applicable) and test the on screen message.



Step 10 – Once an event has been triggered, you should notice a message appearing in “One View 01” only


 
Step 11 – Add “Smart Guard System” to “Startup”. This will ensure every-time you open DCS-250 this service will be active and running
