8. Motion Detector Setting (MOTION DET)
The motion detector detects the moving objects in the scene by monitoring changes in
brightness level. You can select the level of sensitivity for motion detection.
When this camera is connected to a compatible intelligent CCTV system, the camera trans-
mits an alarm signal by multiplexing it with the video signal.
1. Move the cursor to MOTION DET and
select ON.
The factory default setting is OFF.
2. Press I(S). The MOTION DETECT
menu appears on the monitor screen.
3. Move the cursor to MASK SET and press I(S). MASK SET lets you set 48 mask
areas. To set MASK SET, proceed as described in steps 2 to 4 of “ALC mode with
SUPER-D2 OFF”.
4. Move the cursor to ALARM and select ON or OFF to set the alarm for DISPLAY MODE.
Note:When using the WV-RM70, WV-CU550 series, WV-CU161 or WV-CU360 controller
with this model, select OFF for ALARM.
5. Move the cursor to DISPLAY MODE and press I(S) to see the current setting. The
masks that detect the brightness changes start blinking.
6. To raise detection sensitivity, press I(S) to return to the MOTION DETECT menu.
7. To obtain the optimum detection level, move the “I” cursor to adjust the level.
8. Repeat the procedures above to obtain a satisfactory setting.
Notes:
•Masking or adjusting the detection level is needed to prevent malfunction under the fol-
lowing conditions:
•When shooting an object under flickering fluorescent light.
•When leaves or curtains etc. are swayed by the wind.
•When the object is lighted by lighting equipment that constantly turns on and off.
•It takes about 0.2 seconds for the alarm signal to reach the alarm terminal of the VCR
after the camera detects the object.
Because the alarm signal is multiplexed on the video signal, it may be mistakenly inter-
preted by other video equipment as a time code signal.
Therefore, when the camera is not used in a Panasonic Intelligent CCTV System, select

This function lets you switch from color to black-and-white picture automatically in low light
conditions such as at night.
1. Move the cursor to BW.

The factory default setting is OFF.
AUTO1:The camera selects black and white mode if the picture is dark, or color mode
if the picture is bright enough.
AUTO2:Applying AUTO1 may cause malfunction when using a source of near-infrared
light at night because the illuminance changes significantly when switching
between the color picture and a black-and-white picture. This can be prevented by
using the AUTO2 setting to detect the type of light source.
Notes:
•Because the type of light source is detected based on information received
from the CCD image pickup element, an object that is constantly moving or
has the same color as its background may not always be properly recognized.
When choosing the AUTO2 mode, make sure to use a light source having a
wavelength of 800 nm or more.
•The object may be out of focus when using a source of near-infrared light than
using the visible light.
ON:Black-and-white mode enabled.
OFF:Color mode enabled.

I(R).
