does not detect motion.

• The built-in sensor is turned off while privacy

 

 

mode is turned on. Turn the feature off to

 

restore the built-in sensor.

 

Something is blocking the built-in sensor.

 

• Even transparent materials like glass and

 

acrylic can greatly impact the built-in sensor’s

 

sensitivity. Remove anything in the way of the

 

sensor.

 

The surface of the built-in sensor is dirty.

 

• Clean the sensor.

 

The built-in sensor is attempting to detect people and

 

animals outside of its range.

 

• The built-in sensor works by detecting

 

changes in temperature brought on by human

 

movements within its range (30 horizontal

 

degrees, 85 vertical degrees and 5 m in

 

distance). As a result, when the differences in

 

temperature are slight, the range is slowly

 

abbreviated. If there is no change in

 

temperature (despite movement) within the

 

range, the sensor may not detect anything as

 

a result. When changes in temperature are

 

drastic, the sensor range can be extended.

 

• The built-in sensor detects heat variations

 

which occur from the sides with more

 

accuracy than variations which approach the

 

camera.

 

• The detection range of the built-in sensor may

 

increase or decrease depending on the

 

temperature and environment where the

 

camera is installed.

 

If using a wireless camera with a built-in sensor, poor

 

wireless network conditions may be interfering with

 

the connection between the camera and the

 

BL-WV10.

 

• Try relocating the camera if possible.

This proactive monitoring feature helps in ensuring that no activity goes unnoticed, making it an effective security tool.

The design of the camera is compact and unobtrusive, with easy wall or ceiling mounting options. Despite its small size, it houses a fixed lens that provides a wide field of view, enabling extensive coverage of the monitored area. The infrared night vision technology allows the camera to capture clear images in complete darkness, making it reliable around the clock.

In terms of connectivity, the Panasonic BL-WV10 includes Ethernet and Wi-Fi options, giving users the flexibility to choose the best method for their setup. Its compatibility with various network protocols improves integration with existing surveillance systems, enhancing overall security infrastructure.

Overall, the Panasonic BL-WV10 stands out for its combination of high-quality video, advanced monitoring features, and reliable performance, making it a valuable tool for enhancing security in diverse environments.
