Installing the power supply unit and camera

Important:

 

● Register the camera to the main monitor station before installation. (

 reverse side)

 

● Do not attach to a ceiling.

 

● Do not install in areas directly exposed to water or rain.

 

● Holes must be made in the wall for cables and wires to pass through. Panasonic takes no 

responsibility for issues related to opening holes in walls.

 

● Make sure to waterproof the holes made in walls.

 

● Make sure you use the safety wire attached to the camera to prevent the camera from 

falling.

 

● Required pull-out capacity of a single screw is 294 N {30 k

g

f} or more. If this criteria is not 

met, make sure to take additional measures to increase strength.

 

● Do not use an impact driver. (This may lead to damaged screws or over tightening.)

When using the heat sensor

Using the sensor range caps

Changing the angle of the heat sensor

If there are objects that you do not want the heat sensor to detect, you can limit the detectable 
area by attaching the sensor range caps.

You can use the heat sensor adjustment lever on the camera to set the heat sensor to one 
of two positions.

■ 

Sensor range cap types and detection range

In addition to the standard cap (already attached to the camera), there are four cap types 
(caps 1-4). Each cap prevents a different area from being detected and can be attached 
at 45-degree increments. Refer to the following and attach the proper cap at the proper 
angle.

 

● The detection area is an approximation for when the [Heat sensor sensitivity] setting  

(

 "Changing the sensitivity of the heat sensor", below right) is set to [Normal]. 

(Varies by ambient temperature at camera installation location)

(Example 1) When there is an object on the right side of 

the viewable area that you do not want to 

be detected (house next door, street, etc.). 

Attach one of caps 1-3 as shown on the right 

according to the area you do not want to be 

detected.

(Example 2) When there is an object in the top left of 

the viewable area that you do not want 
to be detected (cars in a street, etc.).

■ 

Removing and attaching sensor range caps

When removing: 

Use the thick end of the cap removement tool (accessory) to remove.

When attaching:

Rotate the tab on the cap toward the 
top or at a 45-degree angle according to 
the type of cap or direction, and attach 
the cap on the camera as shown on the 
right.

Attach one of caps 1-3 as shown 
above according to the area you 
do not want to be detected

When using motion detection

Changing the detection range of the motion detection sensor

Changing the sensitivity of the motion detection sensor

Use the main monitor to change the camera’s [Motion detection range] setting.

 

● By setting the areas that you do not want motion to be detected from the 12 blocks shown in 

the screen below, you can narrow down the areas that motion can be detected in.

Use the main monitor to change the camera’s [Motion detection sensitivity] setting. (You can 
adjust the amount of motion that will be detected by setting the sensitivity setting.)

■ Motion detection sensitivity setting (4 levels)

 

● High sensitivity

 

● Normal (default setting)

 

● Low sensitivity

 

● Very low sensitivity

Changing the setting (Example: Video Intercom System VL-SWD501EX series)

Use the main monitor settings, select [Connected devices] → [Camera] → camera number 

→ [Sensor settings] → [Motion detection range] → the areas not subject to detection from 

the 12 blocks, and then touch [Configure].

(Example) When checking motion detection performance, a car in the street that 

you do not want to be detected is displayed in the top of the screen

In the motion detection range screen, select the area containing the street that you do not 

want to be detected.

Adjusting sensor sensitivity and detection range

Note:

 

● When [High sensitivity] is selected, it is more likely that wind or objects outside the 

viewable area will cause detections. (Use this setting only when the installation 
environment absolutely requires it)

Use the main monitor to change the camera’s [Heat sensor sensitivity] setting.

(

The heat sensor’s range of detection varies by the selected sensitivity.

Use the main monitor to confirm the detections made by the heat sensor or motion detection.

 

● The operations described here are based on the VL-SWD501EX series main monitor. See the 

Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom System for more information.

 

● When sensors make a detection

– The camera’s LED lights and indicator lamp 

flash.

– The display on the main monitor changes as 

shown to the right according to the sensor type 
selected in step 1.

Note:

 

● The camera image turns off automatically after about 20 minutes when confirming the sensor. If 

20 minutes pass while confirming, start over from the beginning.

 

● You can also use the above procedure to confirm a commercially available external sensor, if 

connected.

until about 2 seconds after detection 

You can use the 

[Recording before detection] setting to 

retain images from up to 2 seconds before 

the detection. (

Confirm with a subject that you want 

to detect

Check whether the sensor is triggered at the 
location where you want to detect movement, 
with people moving in the direction you want 
to detect.

■ 

Confirm with a subject that you do not 

want to detect

Check whether the sensor is not triggered by 
subjects that you do not want to detect, such 
as people or cars moving on a street.

Precautions for wiring

 

● Make sure you turn off the power at the breaker before performing any wiring work.

 

●  Always connect AC or DC cables to the appropriate connection terminals. Incorrectly 

connecting the AC or DC cables may damage the power supply unit.

 

● To prevent the power cables from disconnecting and to prevent electric shock, secure the 

power cables using the cable binders (accessory) and attach the cable covers.
