8. Motion Detector Setting (MOTION DET)

The motion detector detects the moving objects in the scene by monitoring changes in brightness
level. You can select the level of sensitivity for motion detection.
When this camera is connected to a compatible intelligent CCTV system, the camera transmits an
alarm signal by multiplexing it with the video signal.

1. Move the cursor to MOTION DET and select

ON.
The factory default setting is OFF.

2. Press 

I

(S). The MOTION DETECT menu

appears on the monitor screen.

3. Move the cursor to MASK SET and press 

I

(S). MASK SET lets you set 48 mask areas. To set

MASK SET, proceed as described in steps 2 to 4 of “ALC mode with SUPER-D2 OFF”.

4. Move the cursor to ALARM and select ON or OFF to set the alarm for DISPLAY MODE.

Note:

When using the WV-RM70, WV-CU550C series, WV-CU161C or WV-CU360C controller

with this model, select OFF for ALARM.

5. Move the cursor to DISPLAY MODE and press 

I

(S) to see the current setting. The masks

that detect the brightness changes start blinking.

6. To raise detection sensitivity, press 

I

(S) to return to the MOTION DETECT menu.

7. To obtain the optimum detection level, move the “I” cursor to adjust the level.
8. Repeat the procedures above to obtain a satisfactory setting.

Notes:

• When the motion detector is enabled, the LEDs on both sides of camera blink.
• Masking or adjusting the detection level is needed to prevent malfunction under the following

conditions:

• When shooting an object under flickering fluorescent light.
• When leaves or curtains etc. are swayed by the wind.
• When the object is lighted by lighting equipment that constantly turns on and off.
• It takes about 0.2 seconds for the alarm signal to reach the alarm terminal of the VTR after the

camera detects the object.
Because the alarm signal is multiplexed on the video signal, it may be mistakenly interpreted
by other video equipment as a time code signal.
Therefore, when the camera is not used in a Panasonic Intelligent CCTV System, select OFF to
prevent the above from occurring.

• The camera will deactivate the detector for a few minutes after the power of the camera is

turned on or the BW setting in the Special Menu is set to something other than OFF.

• The motion detection function is not designed specifically for prevention of theft, fire, etc.

6. Synchronization Setting (SYNC)

You can select internal sync (INT) mode, line-lock (LL) mode or the VD2 signal (multiplexed vertical
drive signal) mode.

Important Notices:

1. The priority for the sync modes is as follows:

(1) Multiplexed Vertical Drive (VD2) (Highest priority)
(2) Line-lock (LL)
(3) Internal Sync (INT) (Lowest priority)

2. The line-lock mode has a submenu for line-lock vertical phase adjustment. If the camera instal-

lation is relocated, check the vertical phase adjustment again since the AC line phase may be
different.

6-1. Line-lock Sync Mode (LL)

1. Move the cursor to SYNC and select LL.
