Video Detection
Detects changes to video in a specified area. Th ere 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 mo ving objects are inside the detection area.
Abandoned Object Detection
Detect objects that are carried in and abandoned for a certain duration. Th is function can be used to detect 
suspicious objects that have been left behind. Abandoned object detection is triggered when an object is left in the 
detection area for a specified duration.
Removed Object Detection
Detect objects that have been re moved. This can be used to detect actions  such as the taking away of valuables.
Removed object detection is triggered when an object is  removed from the detection area for a specified duration.

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 ta mpering detection is triggered when an area exceeding a 
specified ratio of change is continuously altered.
Passing Detection
Detect when a person or moving  object crosses a specified line.
This determines that an object is passing when the decisi on point of the object detection frame crosses a detection 
line.

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.
 Auto Tracking
The camera automatically tracks an object when it is detect ed moving in a detection area. This allows monitoring 
movement, such as of suspicious persons.
 Audio Detection
Detects audio input to the camera. There are 2 types of detection.
These are set with [Event] > [Audio Detection] (P. 107) on t he Setting Page, not with the Intelligent Function Setting 
Tool.
[Volume Detection]:  Detects when volume level exceeds or falls below a reference volume.
[ Scream Detection]:  Detects screams or cries from people.
Notes on Intelligent Function Settings and Operations
 When setting the Intelligent Function, do an actual detect ion/tracking test to confirm that detection will be performed 
correctly.
 If a sudden change in lightness or darkne ss occurs within the entire screen, proper detection may not be possible for up 
to five minutes. When tracking, the effect will be  visible as soon as there is change in the scene.
 When the image is zoomed in (telephoto), de tection/tracking may not work as expected.
 Detection/tracking will not be performed wh ile the Intelligent Function is restarting.

• If the camera is operated while configuring or using the Intelligent Functio n, [Restarting intelligent function. Please wait.] 
is shown and the Intellige nt Function will restart.
 If the display switches between Day mode and Night mode, [R estarting intelligent function. Please wait.] is shown and 
intelligent function will restart.
 If [Basic Settings] > [Video Se ttings] > [All Videos] > [Video Size Set] setti ngs on the Setting Page are changed, be sure 
to change the preset position settings (only for the VB-R 11VE/VB-R11/VB-R10VE) and Intelligent Function settings, and 
check operations. The Intelligent Function ma y not operate, depending on the settings.
 Set the Intelligent Function again if the  angle of view is changed through camera  operation, or the camera position of a 
preset or home position is changed.
 If [Status] in [Detection Setting List] is [Enabled] when the cam era position is fixed, control privileges cannot be obtained 
by VB Viewer or RM. Also, the preset tour will no longer run.
 Difficult-to-Detect Subjects
The following subjects may not be detected/tracked,  or may result in erroneous detection/tracking.
 Objects or areas where there is little contrast in colo r or brightness with the background may not be detected/ 
tracked.
 Small objects and changes on the screen may not be detected/tracked.
 Partial or entire changes in brightness  on the screen may trigger detection/tracking.
 When there are multiple overlapping ob jects, there may be a change in detection. For example, objects passing 
may either not be detected or the timing of detection may be incorrect.
 When there are large numbers of obje cts in the scene, objects may not be properly detected/tracked.
 Objects with little movement may not be tracked.
 Objects directly below the camera  may take time to be tracked.
 Areas with bright reflections or selected areas that ar e very bright, can result in an object not probably being 
tracked.
Pre-register Presets  
It is strongly recommended that you register the camera angle as a preset  in advance and lock the camera to that position 
when using video detection. It is also recommended that the fiel d of view that captures targeted objects at a larger ratio be 
used.
For details on preset registration, please refer to “Register Presets” (P. 170).
Select the Intelligent  Function Operation Mode  
Video detection and auto tracking  cannot be used simultaneously. When you la unch the Intelligent Function Setting Tool, 
you can select which one to use.
Note
The detection condition settings are retai ned even if you change operation modes.
