Notes:

Masking or adjusting the detection level is needed to prevent malfunction under the following condi- tions:

When shooting an object under flickering fluores- cent light.

When leaves or curtains etc. are swayed by the wind.

When the object is lighted by lighting equipment that constantly turns on and off.

It takes about 0.2 seconds for the alarm signal 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 the camera is not used in a Panasonic Intelligent CCTV System, select OFF to prevent the above from occurring.
