    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 the display switches between Day mode and Night mode, 
    [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 
    Viewer. Also, the custom settings automatic control will no 
    longer run.
     When using presets registered in digital zoom range, the 
    registered camera positions may not be reproduced with 
    high accuracy. It is recommended that you use presets 
    registered in the optical zoom range for the Intelligent 
    Function.
    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.
