Setting the Motion
Detection/VMF Function
— Motion detection Menu
When you click in the Administrator
menu, the Motion detection menu appears.
Using this menu, you can set the conditions for
activating the built-in “Motion detection” function.
Motion detection detects moving objects in the camera
image and outputs an alarm. In VMF, an alarm is set off
when a motion detected under the motion detection
setting passes, appears in or disappears from a specified
area or inspection line.
The motion detection function and the VMF function
can independently set off an alarm at the time of
detection.
What are VMF functions
VMF functions are for inspecting whether a moving
object detected under the motion detection settings
passed, appeared in or disappeared from a specified area
or inspection line.
The inspection method is selected from Pass/Presence/
Appear/Disappear/Volume, and also allows for a
maximum combination of three, which can be
simultaneously or sequentially executed. In the VMF
setting, up to three patterns can be kept for each preset
for the current camera position.
Pass
A reference passage line is determined, and when a
moving object passes the setting line, an alarm is set off.
FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm
recording and/or audio file playback can be performed
in synchronization with this alarm.
Presence
When the reference object acknowledged by the camera
is present after a certain period of time has elapsed, an
alarm will be set off. FTP client alarm sending, image
memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can
be performed in synchronization with this alarm.
Appearance
When an object that did not exist in the reference area
appears, an alarm will be set off. FTP client alarm
sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio
file playback can be performed in synchronization with
this alarm.
Disappearance
When an object acknowledged by the camera as a
moving object in the reference area disappears, an alarm
is set off. FTP client alarm sending, image memory
alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be
performed in synchronization with this alarm.
Volume
When the volume of moving objects in the reference
area reaches definite number, an alarm is set off. FTP
client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording
and/or audio file playback can be performed in
synchronization with this alarm.
Notes
• Before actual use, perform an operation test and
confirm that the motion detection function works
correctly.
• Even when privacy masking and/or cropping is used,
the motion detection function operates based on the
images before these functions are activated.
• When cropping is enabled, the motion detection menu
is not displayed. To use the motion detection menu,
disable these functions first.

Automatic configuration and set the Proxy server
manually. For the setting of the Proxy server, consult
your network administrator.
• When you install ActiveX control, you should be
logged in to the computer as Administrator.
