### BDetecting an alarm condition via built-in motion sensor

This camera offers the built-in motion sensor function that automatically detects motion in the subject.

The motion sensor detects an alarm condition in three ways as follows.

ADisabling motion detection in masked areas

BDetecting motion in specific areas

You cannot configure the motion sensor function if the electronic sensitivity boosting (SENSE UP) or the long exposure shutter mode (LONG) is enabled.

### ADisabling motion detection in masked areas

Use the motion masking function to detect motion in the whole screen area, except for masked areas.

Set a mask over any swaying tree, flickering light source, or other object to prevent unwanted detection.

1On the ALARM SETTINGS screen, in [MOTION], select “MASKING”.
2In [DURATION], select how long you want the alarm state to be retained when the motion sensor detects motion and click DETAIL.

The motion mask configuration screen appears.

5SEC, 10SEC, 15SEC, 20SEC, 30SEC, 45SEC, 1MIN, 2MIN, 3MIN, 4MIN, 5MIN

CC (Retains the alarm state as long as the motion alarm persists.)

The terminal will not accept subsequent alarm signals until the set duration expires.

The alarm state will be retained for at least 5 seconds even if the motion is instantaneous.

The configured duration value will be reset to the factory default value if you change any setting on the ALARM SETTINGS screen while an alarm state is retained.

To switch the alarm detection method, in [MOTION ALARM], click the desired radio button.

3Drag the mouse over live video/image to select the area you want to mask.

The masked area is indicated by blue-bordered grid cells each containing the letter “M”.

You can mask as many areas as you want without limitation.

You can unmask one grid cell at a time by clicking each grid cell in a masked area.

To deselect a block of grid cells in the masked area, right-click one of grid cell and drag the mouse.

4In [SENSITIVITY], select the detection sensitivity.

The higher the value, the lower the sensitivity.

1 to 9

###### Checking how the motion sensor works

Click TEST.

If any motion is detected in a grid cell outside the masked area(s), that grid cell will be shown in red.

Correct the detection conditions as required.

While the sensor is working, this button is labeled as END. To finish checking the motion sensor, click the button.

5Click SET and then BACK.

The settings are saved and you return to the ALARM SETTINGS screen.
