1)The picture size on the screen should be larger than 1/48 of the actual picture size.

2)The contrast ratio between the object and the background picture should be more than 5 % at the maximum detection level.

3)The time that takes the object to move from one end of the screen to the other should be more than 0.1 second.

•Also under the following conditions, mask or adjust the detection level to prevent malfunction.

1)When leaves, curtains, etc. are swayed by the wind.

2)When a picture has a high noise content due to low light conditions.

3)When the object is illuminated by lighting equip- ment that constantly turns on and off.

•The alarm signal will take approx. 0.2 seconds to reach the alarm terminal of the VCR after the camera detects the object.

Because the alarm signal is multiplexed on the video signal, it may be mistakenly interpreted by other video equipment as a time code signal. Therefore, when this camera is not used in a Panasonic Intelligent CCTV System, select OFF to prevent the above from occurring.
