3.6 Sensor Alert Mode
This feature is not available with HCM series cameras.
Sensor Alert uses the camera sensor functionality to automatically switch 
monitoring cameras with sensor cameras.
Note
• When the sensor is activated the sensor indicator will flash.
• If the buzzer is on, the buzzer will also indicate that the sensor has been 
activated (see page 69).
• The camera’s sensor detects heat variations which occur from the sides 
with more accuracy than variations which approach the camera.
• The detection range of the sensor may increase or decrease depending 
on the temperature and environment where the camera is installed.
1.Press [MENU].
• The menu is displayed.
2.Select [Sensor Alert] and press [ENTER].
• The Sensor Alert Screen appears.
Note

Sensor Notification Screen
If a camera sensor detects motion when Sensor Alert mode is on, the Monitoring 
Screen switches to the relevant camera, and that camera lens moves to the sensor 
position. The sensor position is set as indicated on page 60.
Note
• After the Sensor Notification Screen is displayed, the camera is set to 
repeat sensor responses every several seconds, and those responses will 
not be displayed. The sensor must go for roughly 5 seconds without 
activation. If another camera’s sensor is triggered, however, the display 
will switch to that camera.
• If a camera's sensor triggers Sensor Alert mode, the camera's image will 
not be displayed if: 
- The TV's video input is not set to the input which the BL-WV10A is 
connected to
- You are currently recording a camera image (using standard 
recording)
- You are accessing the [Sensor Alert] or [Setup] screen.
- You are taking a snapshot
- You have set the timer record or sensor record feature.
In these situations, you will still be alerted to sensor detection by the flashing of the 
sensor indicator and by the buzzer, if you have the buzzer turned on.
• When viewing the television, you cannot switch to a sensor-activated 
screen. Press [INPUT] on the remote control to switch to the camera 
Monitoring Screen.
• The buzzer volume can be adjusted (see page 97).
• If you have hidden the camera's image (see page 56), the camera's image 
will be displayed if the sensor is triggered.

camera’s sensor has been activated.
