• When Unicast port (AUTO) or Unicast port (MAN-
UAL) is selected for Transmission type (page
28), up to 8 users per channel (up to 16 users for the
total of all the channels) can access the unit concur-
rently. Depending on the set values for Total bit
rate and Max bit rate (per 1 client), the maximum
concurrent access number may be limited. When 8
users have been concurrently accessing already, the
access limit message will be displayed for users who
accessed subsequently. 
• When ON is selected for MPEG-4 transmission
(page 24), an MPEG-4 image will be displayed.
When OFF is selected, a JPEG image will be dis-
played. It is possible to display JPEG image even

In this case, the refresh interval will be lowered to
approx. half the set value.

When ON is selected for MPEG-4 transmission
JPEG (VGA): 15 fps
JPEG (QVGA): 60 fps
These are the total maximum values of all the chan-
nels.
The refresh interval may be longer depending on a
network environment, PC spec, photographic sub-
ject, access traffic, etc. 
Important:
When displaying multiple MPEG-4 images on a PC,
images may not be displayed depending on the per-
formance of the PC.

About the image recognition function
AVMD, which is one of the image recognition functions, are featured in this unit. 
It is possible to detect moving, abandoned, or removed objects in the shooting area by setting the detection program
in advance. (page 34)
When an abandoned or removed object is detected, the frame and track, are displayed on the live images. (page
12)
Auto track for the detected object is also possible using another analog camera. (page 41)
It is also possible to specify the range of people’s motion and the size of detected object by setting the detection
depth.
AVMD can be activated for up to 2 channels at the same time.
Intruder detection
The motion of object is detected in the shooting area of the channel for which the AVMD is activated.
Up to 8 objects can be detected simultaneously per channel. It is impossible to recognize 9 objects or more.
(Depending on the size of moving object, less than 8 objects can be detected.)
The detection status will be canceled when the moving object goes out of the shooting area.
By setting the intruder detection area (page 34), it is possible to activate an alarm when a moving object goes into
the area. (To prevent false notifications, it is necessary for the object to be detected as a moving object for 2 sec-
onds or more.)
Detection of abandoned or removed objects
By setting the detection area of object abandonment / removal (page 34) in the shooting area of the channel for
which the AVMD is activated, it is possible to activate an alarm when an object is abandoned in the area or removed
from the area. (To prevent false notifications, it is necessary for the object to be detected as an abandoned or
removed object for 20 seconds or more.)
Up to 8 objects can be detected simultaneously per channel. It is impossible to recognize 9 people or more.
The detection status will be canceled when around 40 seconds have passed after the detection.
Important:
AVMD will be activated even after the camera moves or is moving from the selected preset position. To prevent
false notifications, it is recommended not to move the camera connected to the channel for which the AVMD is
activated.
About AVMD (Advanced Video Motion Detection)
AVMD of this unit is the image recognition function that detects motion based on the luminance transition in a desig-
nated area. Under the following circumstances, AVMD may not be activated properly.
•There is no difference in luminance level between the moving object and background.
• Luminance level of image is too low (During nighttime, etc.)
• Movement of object is too fast or too slow.
• Object is too big or too small.
• Luminance level of shooting area is subject to change (outdoors, by the window, etc.)
• Outside light (sunlight, headlights, etc.) enters the shooting area.
• Fluorescent light is flickering.
• Depth of object is too long.
• Dirt, drip, or splash is on the dome cover of camera.
• Object is moving directly toward the camera.
• Too many objects are moving.
• Camera is shaking.
