Where to install the product
The detector is intended for monitoring open areas. Any solid object (such as a tree or a bush) in the coverage area will create a
blind spot (radar shadow) behind it.
Install the detector on a pole, or on a spot on a wall where there are no other objects or installations close to it.
To be able to correctly identify movement in the coverage area, the detector needs to be installed on a stable mount. Do not
install the detector on a swaying pole.
If two radar detectors of are mounted close together they may interfere with each other, see How to install multiple detectors on
page 9 .
At the recommended mounting height, the near detection limit is 4.5 m (15 ft).
If there are a lot of metal objects in the field of view there will be a lot of reflections impacting the performance.
Note
Do not repaint the detector. The paint may seriously impact the detector’s performance.

AXIS D2050-VE Network Radar Detector
Product overview
Mounting direction
The detector covers an angle of ±60° from its central axis. This means that if you mount it on a wall there is a blind spot to each
side of the detector.
To cover the wall you can move the radar module inside the detector.

About the product's built-in help
You can access the built-in help through your product’s web page. The help provides more detailed information on the product’s
features and their settings.
Configure the detector
The detector is ready to use as soon as it is installed. The default live view will show the radar coverage and any detected movement,
and you can add detection zones and action rules right away.
To make it easier to see where objects are moving, you can upload a reference map, for example a ground plan or an aerial photo,
that shows the area covered by the radar detector.

AXIS D2050-VE Network Radar Detector
Setup
Image requirements:
•
Supported file formats are jpeg and png.
•
Use an image with the same proportions (16:9) or resolution (1920x1080) as the live view. If the image is smaller it will be
scaled to fit the window. If the proportions are wrong, the image will not fill the entire video stream.
•
Crop the image to fit the coverage of the radar as closely as possible before uploading it.
•
The orientation is not important, since the radar coverage shape will be moved to adapt to the image during calibration.
After uploading the reference map you need to calibrate the radar so that the actual radar coverage fits the position, direction and
scale of the reference map.
There are two methods for calibrating the reference map:
•
Calibration using pins: The calibration is performed in the web interface by dropping pins in know locations in the
reference map and setting the distance between the pins.
When calibrating using pins, you need to select the mounting position of the radar module inside the detector.
•
Calibration using tracks: The calibration method requires a person to move in front of the radar.
You can do this yourself while accessing the web interface from a mobile device, or have someone else move and
follow your instructions.
When moving around in the different steps, move to places that are easy to find in the reference map.
How to configure the detector
1.
To upload a reference map, go to Settings > Radar > Reference map. Select Browse to find an image file, and select
Upload to place the image in the live view.
2.
To calibrate the reference map, go to Settings > Radar > Reference map calibration. Select Start calibration and
follow the instructions.
How to install multiple detectors
If two radar detectors of are mounted close together they may interfere with each other. To avoid problems, select different
channels for the detectors.
1.
Go to Settings > Radar > General and select Channel.
About events
The event pages allow you to configure your product to perform actions when different events occur. For example, the product
can start a recording or send an email notification when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when
the action is triggered is called an action rule.

To do this, install the application AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ on your VMS server (or another computer with access to both the
camera and the detector), and follow the instructions in the application.
To download AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ, go to axis.com
About detection zones
To determine where to detect motion, you can add multiple zones. Different zones can be used to trigger different actions.
11
AXIS D2050-VE Network Radar Detector
Setup
There are two types of zones:
•
An include zone is an area in which moving objects will trigger action rules. The default include zone matches the
entire area covered by the detector.
•
An exclude zone is an area in which moving objects will be ignored. Use exclude zones if there are areas inside an include
zone that trigger a lot of unwanted alarms.
Add an include zone
1.
Go to Settings > RMD zones and click
2.
Select Include zone.
3.
Select
to modify the settings of the zone. For more information, see the product’s built in help.
4.
Modify the shape of the include zone, see Modify a detection zone on page 12
Add an exclude zone
1.
Go to Settings > RMD zones and click
2.
Select Exclude zone.
3.
Modify the shape of the exclude zone, see Modify a detection zone on page 12
Modify a detection zone
Use the mouse to move and shape the zone so that it covers the desired part of the reference map.
•
To add a new corner, click on the zone border. Drag the corner to the desired position.
•
To remove a corner, right-click on the corner.
•
To move a corner, click and drag the corner to the new position.
•
To move the zone, place the pointer inside the zone and drag the zone to the new position.
How to minimize false alarms
If you notice that you get too many false alarms, you can filter out certain types of movement or objects, or change the coverage.
Test which setting works best for your environment.
•
Modify the include and exclude zones:
If the include zone includes hard surfaces, such as a metal wall, there may be reflections that causes multiple detections for
a single physical object. In this case, modify the include zone, see Modify a detection zone on page 12, or add an exclude
zone that masks everything behind the surface, see Add an exclude zone on page 12
•
Filter on movement:
Go to Settings > Radar > Detection and select Ignore swaying objects. This setting will minimize false alarms from trees,
bushes, and flagpoles in the coverage zone.
•
Filter on time:
Go to Settings > RMD zones and select a zone to modify it’s settings.
Enable Short-lived object and set a delay time from when the radar starts tracking an object until it can trigger and alarm.
The timer starts when the radar first detects the object, not when the object enters the include zone.
12
AXIS D2050-VE Network Radar Detector
Setup
•
Filter on object type:
The detector will classify objects depending on the radar echo that they produce. If it can’t determine the object type,
the object will be classified as Unidentified.
Go to Settings > RMD zones and select a zone to modify it’s settings.
To avoid triggering on specific object types, enable the filter and deselect the object types that should not trigger events
in this zone.

Technical issues, clues and solutions
If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, try the troubleshooting section at axis.com/support
Problems upgrading the firmware
Firmware upgrade failure
If the firmware upgrade fails, the product reloads the previous firmware. The most common reason
is that the wrong firmware file has been uploaded. Check that the name of the firmware file
corresponds to your product and try again.
Problems setting the IP address
The product is located on a
different subnet
If the IP address intended for the product and the IP address of the computer used to access the
product are located on different subnets, you cannot set the IP address. Contact your network
administrator to obtain an IP address.
The IP address is being used
by another device
Disconnect the Axis product from the network. Run the ping command (in a Command/DOS
window, type ping and the IP address of the product):
• If you receive: Reply from :
bytes=32; time=10...
this means that the IP address may already be in use by another device on the network.
Obtain a new IP address from the network administrator and reinstall the product.
• If you receive: Request timed out, this means that the IP address is available
for use with the Axis product. Check all cabling and reinstall the product.
Possible IP address conflict
with another device on the
same subnet
The static IP address in the Axis product is used before the DHCP server sets a dynamic address.
This means that if the same default static IP address is also used by another device, there may
be problems accessing the product.
The product cannot be accessed from a browser
Cannot log in
When HTTPS is enabled, ensure that the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used when attempting
to log in. You may need to manually type http or https in the browser’s address field.
If the password for the user root is lost, the product must be reset to the factory default settings.
See How to reset to factory default settings.
The IP address has been
changed by DHCP
The product is accessible locally but not externally
Router configuration
Check that your router allows incoming data traffic to the Axis product. The router must support
UPnP®.
Firewall protection
Check the Internet firewall with your network administrator.
Performance considerations
When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations affect the performance. Some factors
affect the amount of bandwidth (the bitrate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the
CPU reaches its maximum, this also affects the frame rate.
The following factors are the most important to consider:
15
AXIS D2050-VE Network Radar Detector
Troubleshooting
•
High image resolution or lower compression levels result in images containing more data which in turn affects the
bandwidth.
•
Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG or unicast H.264 clients affects the bandwidth.
•
Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression) by different clients affects both frame rate and
bandwidth.
Use identical streams wherever possible to maintain a high frame rate. Stream profiles can be used to ensure that
streams are identical.
•
Accessing Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously affects both frame rate and bandwidth.
•
Heavy usage of event settings affects the product’s CPU load which in turn affects the frame rate.
•
Using HTTPS may reduce frame rate, in particular if streaming Motion JPEG.
•
Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure affects the bandwidth.
•
Viewing on poorly performing client computers lowers perceived performance and affects frame rate.
•
Running multiple AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) applications simultaneously may affect the frame rate and
the general performance.
