Intelligent Function Setting Tool Overview Intelligent Function The Intelligent Function records video, sends e-mail notifications, plays audio and starts other operations when it detects changes in the video due to subject movement. The Intelligent Function has the following modes.
Video Detection Detects changes to video in a specified area. There are 6 types of detection to suit your needs. Moving Object Detection Detect moving objects. This function can be used to detect visitors or suspicious individuals. Moving object detection is triggered while moving objects are inside the detection area. Moving object enters/leaves area.
Camera Tampering Detection Detect when capture is being disrupted. This can be used to detect when the camera orientation is changed or the video display is obscured with spray, etc. Camera tampering detection is triggered when an area exceeding a specified ratio of change is continuously altered. Tampering Detected Detection begins when the ratio of change in a video exceeds a specified amount.
Intrusion Detection Detect when a person or moving object crosses a specified area. This can be used to detect actions such as when someone climbs over a barrier and enters a restricted area in a museum, etc. This determines that an object is entering when the decision point of the object detection frame enters the detection area and the specified duration has elapsed. Intrusion Detection begins when the decision point enters the detection area.
• If the camera is operated while configuring or using the Intelligent Function, [Restarting intelligent function.

Important It is recommended that you configure the detection criteria in conditions as close as possible to the actual conditions in which you will use the camera.
Drag the area to move it, and drag the vertices to resize it. You can specify polygonal areas with a maximum of 32 vertices. Note If you change the shape of a detection area you have already configured, the area is deleted and you switch to configuring a new area. [Clear] The detection area configured with [Polygonal] is deleted. (3) [Display Color] Select the color for detection areas and detection lines.
Detection Status for Moving Object Detection All 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 “detected” mode has been triggered.
Detection Status for Abandoned Object Detection All moving objects detected are shown with contour lines. If [Object Size (%)] and [Duration (Sec)] are not exceeded, contour lines are white. If both [Object Size (%)] and [Duration (Sec)] are exceeded, the contour lines take on the same color as the detection area, indicating that “detected” mode has been triggered.
Important Set detection areas for removed object detection so that they precisely match the contours of the target object. Influence from the target object’s shadow or adjacent objects may result in the target object being recognized as larger than it actually is and will not trigger removed object detection. In this occurs, reconfigure the detection area to outline the recognized target object. 3 Configure [Duration (Sec)] for time required for an object to be detected as a removed object.
Contours of Moving Object Detected as Tampering Note Detection will not be possible for three seconds after the change ratio for camera tampering detection is changed, or when switching into camera tampering detection from another detection mode. How to Configure Passing Detection The detection line for passing moving objects is determined by setting the passing direction and object decision point. 1 Follow the steps below to use the video display area to configure the passing detection line.
Detection line You can configure a polygonal detection line with a maximum of 32 vertices. ▼ Click any of the set vertices. The detection line is determined. Note • Even after configuring a detection line, you can drag each vertex to change the shape of the detection line and the lines between vertices to move the entire detection line. 2 In [Passing Direction], select the direction for moving objects to pass the detection line.
Detection Status for Passing Detection All moving objects detected are shown with white contour lines. When the [Decision Point] of a moving object that exceeds the [Object Size (%)] setting crosses a detection line in the direction specified in [Passing Direction], The countour line changes to the same color as the detection line, and “detected” mode is triggered. A passing detection event notification only occurs when the decision line is crossed.
Object Size Indicator Detection Area Detection Status for Intrusion Detection All moving objects detected are shown with contour lines. When [Decision Point] of a moving object larger than [Object Size (%)] enters a detection area and exceeds [Duration (Sec)], its contour lines take on the same color as the detection area, indicating that “detected” mode has been triggered.
[Detected mode Operation] When selected, the operations set in (3) are performed while “detected” mode is active. (2) [Action During Auto Tracking] R11 R10 When selected, the operations set in (3) are performed while the moving object is automatically tracked.
