Setting Page 5 171 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. Background Video Generated Tampering Video Changes Analysis Camera Tampering Detected Detection begins when the ratio of change in a video exceeds a specified amount.

172 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.

Setting Page 5 173 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.

Setting Page 5 175 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). Note You can select presets that meet the following conditions. – Presets configured within the view restrictions. – Presets with pan, tilt and zoom setting values (not blank) configured in the [Preset Registration].
