Tamper Detection
The Tamper Detection module is intended to detect camera tampering events such as bagging, de-
focusing, moving the camera, etc. This is achieved by detecting large persistent changes in the image.
The output of the tamper detection algorithm is displayed as red blocks on the image. The red area is
where the algorithm has detected that the image has changed from its reference image. Once enough of
the image has changed and remained so for a certain length of time, a tamper alarm is triggered.
Note: To see the output of the tamper detection on the image, Tamper Debug metadata must be enabled
on the VCA -> Advanced page. Please refer to Advanced Settings for more information.
Advanced Tamper Detection Settings
In the advanced tamper detection settings, it is possible to change the thresholds for the area of the
image which must be changed and the length of time it must be changed for before the alarm is triggered.
Tampered Duration until Alarm:
The length of time that the image must be persistently changed
before the alarm is triggered.
Tampered Image Area:
Percentage area of the image which must be changed for tampering to
be triggered.
If false alarms are a problem the duration and/or area should be increased so that large transient
changes such as a close object temporarily obscuring the camera do not cause false alarms.
Suppress Alarm on Lights On/Off
Large fast changes to the image lighting such as switching on/off indoor lighting can cause false tamper
alarms. Enable this option if this is likely to be a problem in the area where the camera is installed.
However, this option will reduce sensitivity to genuine alarms, so it is not recommended if fast light
changes are not likely to be a problem
