Various recording settings (continued)

Motion threshold setting

In this step, the MOTION THRESHOLD setting, which serves as the trigger to initiate Alarm Recording, is set. In this setting, the minimum number of active dots required to initiate the MOTION DETECTION is established. The dots are activated in the MOTION DETECTION function set- tings. Using this value, the unit begins the MOTION DE- TECTION when motion has been detected in more than the specified minimum number of dots.

When establishing a value for the MOTION THRESHOLD setting, use a value which does not

exceed the number of active dots set for the MO- TION DETECTION function. Please note that the

MOTION DETECTION function will not operate if a larger value is used.

Example: Setting the MOTION THRESHOLD to “5” (the default setting is “2”).

1.After step 3 of M-DET SETTING procedures on page 38. Turn the JOG dial to select the MOTION THRESHOLD and turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right.

The sub-item will start flashing.

2.Turn the JOG dial to display ON then turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right.

The <TEST MODE> menu will appear.

The area where the MOTION DETECTION func- tion has been activated is displayed using “ • ”. When

motion is detected on more dots than specified in the MOTION THRESHOLD setting, i.e., when Alarm Recording is initiated, the active symbol “ ” will appear on-screen. Please redo settings if the unit does not operate as intended.

3. To finish setting, turn the SHUTTLE ring to the left.

When motion is continuously detected within the active area established for the MOTION DETEC-

TION function, Alarm Recording will also continue. In this case, each Alarm Recording will be extended the duration that selecting sub-item in the A-REC DURATION setting; these recordings will not, how- ever, not be registered on the ALARM LIST. If Alarm Recording stops once, then re-starts at a later time, this event will be registered on the ALARM LIST.

MOTION DETECTION HOLD FUNCTION When Alarm Recording continues as a result of motion being continuously detected, the unit cannot receive instructions for other functions. In this situa- tion, the MOTION DETECTION function can be fro- zen for two seconds after pressing the STOP button to stop the Alarm recording, which will override and halt Alarm Recording. Settings can then be made for other functions during this time. If settings are not altered, the unit will automatically return to re- cording after two seconds.

As the ALARM IN terminals located on the unit’s rear are always active, their input signals are given

priority during Alarm Recording. In addition, when the MOTION DETECTION function has been acti- vated, Alarm Recording will begin depending on the input signals from each of the terminals.

The MOTION DETECTION function cannot be accessed when menus are left open.

The M-DET indicator light is off when the MO- TION DETECTION function cannot be accessed.

There may be cases when the unit’s built- in MOTION DETECTION function does not operate properly due to external condition or video input signal or other factors.

When you wish to use the MOTION DETECTION function to activate Alarm Recording, the CAMERA

CH of the cameras to be used must be set to some- thing other than “ - ” in the PRI (priority) setting of the DEFINE ALARM GROUP menu.
