Panasonic WV-CW974 operating instructions Release, Stop, Reseach, Zoom-Out, Cont

CONTINUOUS : Zoom control is always performed. This is the factory default setting.

(6)Configuring the Tracking Time Setting (AUTO

RELEASE)

Use this setting to specify a time after which auto tracking should be forced to terminate after it starts. The camera stops at the position it is in at the point the tracking time is exceeded. If SELF RETURN is set, then after the AUTO RELEASE time is up the SELF RETURN time starts counting down and AUTO operation starts again.

1.Move the cursor to AUTO RELEASE and then tilt the joystick left or right to specify a tracking time. Tilting the joystick cycles through tracking time set- tings in the sequence shown below. (unit: sec, min)

OFF↔10S↔20S↔30S↔40S↔50S↔1MIN↔2MIN↔3MIN↔5MIN↔10MIN

The factory default setting is OFF.

(7)Configuring the Lost Target Setting (LOST MODE)

1.Move the cursor to LOST MODE and then tilt the joystick left or right to select the operation that should be performed when a target is lost.

STOP	: Stops at the position where the
	target is lost.
RESEACH	: When the target is lost, checks at
	the current position for movement
	and continues auto tracking if
	movement is detected.
ZOOM-OUT	: When the target is lost, slightly
	widens the view angle and checks
	if movement can be newly detect-
	ed. Auto tracking is continued if
	movement is detected.
	This is the factory default setting.

(8) Configuring the Alarm Setting (ALARM)

1.Move the cursor to ALARM and then tilt the joystick left or right to toggle the alarm on and off.

OFF	: No alarm output
	This is the factory default setting.
ON	: Alarm is output continuously during auto
	tracking.
	(Alarm is output to the video output cable
	at 5 second intervals.)
CONT	: Alarm is output once after auto tracking
	continues for a preset amount of time.
	Tilting the joystick cycles through settings
	in the sequence shown below.

1S ↔ 10S ↔ 30S ↔ 1MIN ↔ 3MIN ↔ 5MIN

AREA : The alarm is output once only when the target enters a preset prohibited area while it is being tracked. For details about prohibited areas, see the AREA SET set- ting on this page.

-42-

Note: You need to set the alarm setting (page 44) to output an auto tracking associated alarm from the external alarm terminal 1 to an outside destination. Display the setup menu, and select ALARM for the CNT-CLS1 setting. And, if it is ON, an alarm signal is always output regardless of the "TIME OUT" setting.

(9) Configuring Area Settings (AREA SET)

This setting lets you mask a specific area of the screen where you do not want movement detected. This helps to reduce the chance of detection error. This setting also can be used to specify areas that are alarm- prohibited when AREA is selected for the alarm setting. Up to a maximum of eight masked and prohibited areas can be specified.

1.Move the cursor to AREA SET O and then press the camera (set) button.

This will display the area setting screen.

2.Configure the area settings.

For details about configuring area settings, see steps 3 through 10 under "Privacy Zone Settings" (page 38).

3.Move the cursor to MODE, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select an area function setting.

MASK : Specifies that the area is detection masked.

This is the factory default setting. ALARM : Specifies that the area is a prohibited

area.

Notes:

•Detection area masks can be used to reduce detection error when there are moving trees, vehicular traffic, water (which can cause reflection), and similar items that are in the area being monitored (on screen).

•Detection masks and prohibited areas cannot be configured individually for each preset position. Configured areas are applied to all preset positions.

•The prohibited area function sounds the alarm only when something enters a prohibited area while tracking is being done. The alarm does not sound if the object being tracked is in the prohibited area

when auto-tracking starts.

Important: Auto tracking continues to be performed if the target being auto tracked moves into a detection mask area. Note that area masks do not work under such conditions.
