Camera Tampering Detection
Detect when capture is being disrupted. This can be used to detect when the camera orientation is changed or the 
video display is obscured with spray, etc. Camera  tampering detection is triggered when an area exceeding a 
specified ratio of change is continuously altered.
Passing Detection
Detect when a person or moving  object crosses a specified line.
This determines that an object is passing when the decisi on point of the object detection frame crosses a detection 
line.

Intrusion Detection
Detect when a person or moving object crosses a specified area. This can be used to detect actions such as when 
someone climbs over a barrier and enters a restricted area in  a museum, etc. This determines that an object is entering 
when the decision point of the object detection frame enters the detection area and the specified duration has elapsed.
 Auto Tracking
The camera automatically tracks an object when it is detect ed moving in a detection area. This allows monitoring 
movement, such as of suspicious persons.
 Audio Detection
Detects audio input to the camera. There are two types of detection.
These are set with [Event] > [Audio Detection]  (P. 164), not with [Intelligent Function].
[Volume Detection]:  Detects when volume level exceeds or falls below a reference volume.
[Scream Detection]:  Detects screams or cries from people.
Notes on Intelligent Function Settings and Operations
 When setting the Intelligent Function, do an actual detection  test to confirm that detection will be performed correctly.
 If a sudden change in lightness or darkness occurs within the  entire screen, proper detection may not be possible for up 
to five minutes.
 When the image is zoomed in (telephoto ), detection may not work as expected.
 Detection will not be performed while the Intelligent Function is restarting.
 If the camera is operated  while configuring or using the Intelligent Functio n, [Restarting intelligent function. Please wait.] 
is shown and the Intellige nt Function will restart.
 If the display switches between Day mode and Night mode, [R estarting intelligent function. Please wait.] is shown and 
intelligent function will restart.

 If [Basic] > [Video] > [All Videos] > [Video Size Set] settings on the Setting Page are changed, be sure to change the 
preset position settings ( ) and Intelligent Funct ion settings, and check operations. The Intelligent 
Function may not operate, depending on the settings.
 Please set the Intelligent Function again if  the angle of view has changed through camera operation, or the preset/home 
position has changed.
 If [Status] in [Detection Setting List ] has [Enabled] when the camera position is  fixed, control privileges cannot be 
obtained by the Camera Viewer or RM Viewer . Also, the preset tour will no longer run.
 If you use a preset registered with the di gital zoom, the camera position at registration may not be able to be reproduced 
with a high degree of accuracy. Therefore, it is recommended  that you use a preset registered in the optical zoom area 
for the intelligent function.
 Difficult-to-Detect Subjects
The following subjects may not be detected , or may result in erroneous detection.
 Objects or areas where there is little contrast in color or brightness with the background may not be detected.
 Small objects and changes on the screen may not be detected.
 Partial or entire changes in brightne ss on the screen may trigger detection.
 When there are multiple overlapping ob jects, there may be a change in detection. For example, objects passing 
may either not be detected or the timing of detection may be incorrect.
 When there are large numbers of  objects in the scene, objects may not be properly detected.
Registering Presets
It is strongly recommended that you register the camera angle as a preset  in advance and lock the camera to that position 
when using video detection. It is also recommended that the fiel d of view that captures targeted objects at a larger ratio be 
used.
For details on preset registration, please refer to  “[Camera] > [Preset] Registering Presets” (P. 131).
Selecting the Intelligent Function Operation Mode
Video detection and auto tracking cannot be used simultaneous ly. You can select which one to use on the Setting Page for 
the intelligent function.
Note
The applied settings are retained even if you change operation modes.
The currently selected operat ion mode changes to purple.

In video detection, select the type to detect, and set the tracking area for video changes while checking images on the 
camera. You should also set which operati ons (e-mail notification, record video, playing audio from the speaker connected 
to the camera) should be carried  out when changes are detected.
Steps for Configuring Video Detection
Set an area where changes in video are detected and an ar ea where changes in video are not detected (non-detection 
area) as necessary.
 Configuring the Detection Area
The following are the basic steps for configuring a detecti on area. For details on settings for each type of detection, 
please refer to “Configuring Detection Cr iteria ([Detection Criteria] Tab)” (P. 179).
For details on how to adjust presets, please refer to “[Camera] > [Preset] Registering Presets” (P. 131).
