Before using this product
Video Motion Detection (VMD) function
The VMD function of this product detects motions referring to changes of brightness in the areas set in 
advance.
The VMD function will not effectively work in the following situations or may sometimes be malfunctioning.
 •  When there is a very little difference in luminance (brightness) between a background and a subject
 •  When brightness of images is low such as at night
 •  When a subject moves very slow
 •  When a subject is very small
 •  When the amount of rays of light incidence changes frequently such as at a window or outdoor
 •  When light such as sunlight or car headlight comes from outside
 •  When a fluorescent lamp flickers
 •  When a subject has depth
When configuring the VMD settings, check the function performance both in daytime and at night after appro-
priately configuring the area settings and the sensitivity settings according to the camera installation conditions 
and possible movement of subjects. When the detection function does not work or false detection occurs, use 
a sensor separately.
