    Notes on intelligent function settings and operation
     When setting intelligent function, do an actual detection test 
    to confirm that detection will be performed correctly.
     When the entire screen is exposed to sudden changes in 
    brightness, detection may not be performed as intended for 
    up to 5 minutes.
     If [Auto] is used in [Day/Night] settings or automatic 
    switching between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode] is 
    performed when a timer is used, [Restarting intelligent 
    function. Please wait.] is shown and intelligent function will 
    restart. Detection will not be performed while intelligent 
    function is restarting.
     If the camera is operated during intelligent function setting or 
    operation, [Restarting intelligent function. Please wait.] is 
    shown and intelligent function will restart. Detection will not 
    be performed while intelligent function is restarting.
     If [Video] > [Video Size Set] on the Setting page is changed, 
    be sure to change the preset position setting (VB-S30D/VB-
    S31D only) and intelligent function settings, and check the 
    operation. The intelligent function may not operate, 
    depending on the settings. 
      
     Set intelligent function again if the angle of view is changed 
    through camera operation, or the camera position of a preset 
    or home position is changed using Preset Setting Tool.
     If an [Enable] detection setting exists under [Status] in the 
    [Detection Setting List] while the camera position is locked, 
    control privileges cannot be obtained by VB Viewer or RM. 
    Also, the custom settings automatic control will no longer run.
    Difficult-to-detect Subjects
     Objects or portions 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 light on the screen may trigger 
    detection.
     If multiple objects overlap, the detection status may change. 
    In particular, passing may not be detected or may be 
    detected at the wrong timing.

    „Setting Detection Criteria per Detection Type
    Specify different detection criteria for each detection type.
    Detect criteria for [Moving Object Detection]
    Set detection areas where you want to detect moving 
    objects.
    For [Object Size (%)], enter a value or move the slider to 
    set the ratio of the size of an object moving in the 
    detection area to the size of the detection area.
    When the ratio of an area where the camera has detected 
    a moving object exceeds the value set for [Object Size 
    (%)], detected mode is triggered to ON.
    When [Object Size (%)] is changed, an indicator frame 
    showing the size of the object is displayed for 1 second in 
    the center of the video display area, allowing specification 
    of the settings while checking the size ratio.
    Any moving objects detected are shown with contour lines.
    If a moving object is smaller than [Object Size (%)], its 
    contour lines are white. If the moving object is larger than 
    [Object Size (%)], its contour lines take on the same color 
    as the detection area, indicating that “detection” mode has 
    been triggered to ON.
    Detect criteria for [Abandoned Object Detection]
    Set areas where you want to detect abandoned objects as 
    detection areas.
    4Click [Quick setting].

    [Object Size (%)]
    Enter a value or move the slider to set the ratio of the size 
    of an object that was left behind in the detection area to 
    the size of the detection area.
    When [Object Size (%)] is changed, an indicator frame 
    representing the area of the object is displayed for 1 
    second in the center of the video display area. This allows 
    you to check the size ratio of the abandoned object 
    detection area while specifying the [Object Size (%)] 
    setting.
    [Duration (Sec)] 
    Set the time that must elapse after an object has been left.
    If both the values for [Object Size (%)] and [Duration 
    (Sec)] are exceeded, detection mode is triggered to ON.
    Any moving objects detected are shown with contour lines.
    If [Object Size (%)] and [Duration (Sec)] are not exceeded, 
    contour lines are white. When all detection criteria are met, 
    contour lines take on the same color as the detection area 
    and “detected” mode is triggered to ON.
    Detect criteria for [Removed Object Detection]
    Set detection areas for objects whose removal you want to 
    detect.
    For [Duration (Sec)], set the time that must elapse after 
    the object has been taken away. Detected mode will be 
    triggered to ON when an object is taken away from the 
    detection area for a period longer than the set [Duration 
    (Sec)].Any moving objects detected are shown with contour 
    lines. As long as [Duration (Sec)] has not elapsed, 
    contour lines are white. When [Duration (Sec)] has 
    elapsed, contour lines take on the same color as the 
    detection area, indicating that “detected” mode has been 
    triggered to ON.
    Detect criteria for [Camera Tampering Detection]
    For [Camera Tampering Detection], the entire video 
    display area becomes the detection area. “Detected” 
    mode will be triggered to ON when the video is obstructed 
    over an area exceeding the ratio set in [Change Ratio 
    (%)].
    When [Change Ratio (%)] is changed, an indicator frame 
    representing the area that can be obstructed is displayed 
    for 1 second in the center of the video display area. This 
    allows you to check the change ratio of the camera 
    tampering detection area, which occupies the entire video 
    display area, while specifying the [Change Ratio (%)] 
    setting.
    Any moving objects detected are shown with contour 
    lines. If it is smaller than [Change Ratio (%)], contour lines 
    are white. If the video is changed for an area larger than 
    [Change Ratio (%)], contour lines take on the same color 
    as the detection area, indicating that “detected” mode 
    has been triggered to ON.

    Influence from the target object’s shadow or adjacent objects 
    may result in the target object being recognized as larger than 
    actual and will not trigger Removed Object Detection. In such 
    cases, reconfigure the detection area to outline the recognized 
    target object. Alternatively, use [Quick setting] (p. 104).

    detection mode.
    Detect criteria for [Passing Detection]
    Set the passing direction and decision point of the moving 
    object for the detection line that the moving object will 
    cross.
    [Passing Direction]
    Select the direction for moving objects to pass the 
    detection line. When an object that moves in the selected 
    direction passes the detection line, “line crossed” is 
    detected.
    A preview display shows the selected passing direction 
    on the detection line in the video display area.
    [Decision Point]
    Select the decision point of a moving object in 
    accordance with a detection line. When a decision point 
    selected here crosses the detection line, “line crossed” is 
    detected. In the video display area, a cross mark is 
    displayed to indicate the decision point in the detection 
    frame.
    [Object Size (%)]
    Enter or use the slider to set the size ratio of moving 
    objects for the entire screen.When a moving object exceeds the value set for [Object 
    Size (%)], it becomes a passing detection target.
    When [Object Size (%)] is changed, an indicator frame 
    showing the size of the object is displayed for 1 second in 
    the center of the video display area, allowing specification 
    of the settings while checking the size ratio.
    Note
     A ratio of up to 30% can be set for [Object Size (%)] in passing 
    detection.
     A passing detection event is notified only when the decision 
    line is crossed. Take care in setting the operation to be 
    performed when an event occurs.
