3. Select a dwell time. The default setting is "2S". Available time (second): 2, 5, 10, 30

The next detection will be performed after the set time elapses.

4. Select "MASK SET" and press the [SET] button. A 48-split screen opens.

• Specify non-detection (mask) and detection areas in the same way as described earlier in 2-2 ALC Mode. (page 25)

• Hold down the [SET] button for 2 seconds to return to the "MODE1" menu.

Note:

Perform the setting of mask area after "STABILIZER" in the "CAMERA SETUP" menu is set to "OFF".

5.Select "ON" or "OFF" for "ALARM" under "DISPLAY MODE". ON: Outputs an alarm

OFF: Does not output an alarm. This is applicable any of the following controllers are used: WV-RM70, WV-CU550 series, WV-CU161, WV-CU360, WV-CU650, WV-CU850, WV-CU950

6.Select "DISPLAY MODE" and press the [SET] button to see the current settings. When a motion is detected, the area will blink.

Press the [SET] button to return to the "MODE1" menu.

7. As necessary, repeat to perform "LEVEL" adjustment and "MASK" setting by checking on the "DISPLAY MODE" screen.

Important:

In systems other than Panasonic, select "OFF" for "MOTION DET" to prevent system devices from confusing time-code signal with alarm signal.

Set "MASK SET" over the areas where leaves or curtains etc. are swaying.

Adjust the detection level to prevent detection from confusing motion with noise under low light conditions.

It takes around 0.2 seconds for the alarm signal to reach the VCR’s alarm terminal after detection.

The motion/scene change detection is not specifically intended to prevent theft or fire.

Motion Detector

The motion detector divides the screen into 48 blocks and monitors changes in the luminance in each block. When it detects any change (movement) in the image, it outputs an alarm signal. When a change (movement) in the image is detected while in the auto mode, the alarm signal is output and the camera stops at the preset position for a specified amount of time.

Demo Mode

The demo mode divides the screen into 48 blocks and monitors changes in the luminance in each block. It also masks any part of the picture where there is a change in average luminance that exceeds the currently specified detection sensitivity level. The demo mode results can be used to determine the optimum detection sensitivity level (step 2) and the areas of the screen that need to be masked (step 4).

About MODE2 of Motion Detection

The camera will detect a scene change in the following cases.

When the lens is fully sprayed or covered with a cloth, lid, or the like

When the camera direction is suddenly changed

Important:

The camera will not detect a scene change in the following cases. When a cloth with patterns covers the lens and it sways in the wind When some portions in the screen are not veiled

When the screens are similar in scene patterns although the camera direction has changed

The camera will faultily detect a scene change in the following cases.

When an obvious brightness change arises (ex. On/Off of the lamps)

When objects move continuously such as traffic in busy streets
