[. . . ] CAUTION Preventing electric shock Privacy and rights of portrait When installing or using the camera, please take into consideration the rights of others with regard to privacy. ●●It is generally said that "privacy" means the ability of an individual or group to stop information about themselves from becoming known to people other than those whom they choose to give the information. "Rights of portrait" means the right to be safe from having your own image taken and used indiscriminately without consent. Installation example A (detect visitors) To detect visitors at the entrance (gate) without detecting cars in the street About the external input terminal (for an external sensor connection) Choose an external sensor that is compatible with the specifications of the external input terminal. ●●After connection, use the main monitor to select the contact type ([Make contact] or [Break contact]) that matches the device. [. . . ] ( [Heat sensor detection] and [Motion detection] settings in the Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom System) Registering to the main monitor Temporarily connect the camera to turn it on, and then register it to the main monitor as explained below. ●●You cannot register more than one camera at a time. ●●The operations described here are based on the VL-SWD501 series main monitor. See the Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom System for more information. ■ Incorrect detections may occur in the following locations ●●Areas where people approach from directly in front of the camera, such as narrow walkways ●●On high-traffic streets (passing cars may cause detections even if they are more than 5 m away)  People moving sideways are visible, and cars in the street are less likely to cause incorrect detections.  Cars in the street are more likely to cause incorrect detections. 1 Main monitor operation → From the top menu of the main monitor, touch → [Register/Cancel] → [Register] → [Camera] → the camera number of the camera to be registered. ●●After this, use the camera and complete the following steps within about 5 minutes. Difficult to detect If you want to detect people as well as see the view directly in front of the camera, use a commercially available external sensor. Camera ●●In areas where objects move naturally, such as where the wind blows trees or hanging laundry (temperature variation and motion may cause incorrect detections) ●●In areas subject to breezes from fans, air conditioning unit compressors, or hot water heaters, or areas affected by car exhaust (severe temperature variations may cause incorrect detections) Installation example (using a commercially available external sensor) You can connect commercially available external sensors to the external input terminal. ●●In this case you must use the main monitor to change the camera’s [Sensor selection] setting. ( Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom System) ●●Refer to "About the external input terminal" ( above right) and connect the external sensor properly according to its specifications. 2 Camera operation Perform the following registration procedure while the camera is turned on. 2-1 Peel open the register button cover (A) and use the thin end of the cap removement tool (accessory) to press and hold the register button (B) for about 3 seconds. 2-2 Make sure to firmly close the register button cover. (Rear of camera) Visible image: Street B A Preventing accidents and injuries ●●Do not install or use the product in an inflammable atmosphere. Failure to observe this may cause an explosion resulting in injury. ●●Do not install or use the product in health care facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF (radio frequency) energy. ●●Do not install or use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors and fire alarms. Radio waves emitted from this product may cause such devices to malfunction, resulting in an accident. ●●Do not mount the bracket in an unstable location, in a location subject to frequent vibration, on a ceiling, or on a weak wall. (Do not mount on plaster board, concrete blocks, wooden materials exposed to the outdoors, walls with very rough surfaces, or surfaces that are narrower than the width of the wall mount bracket. ) There is a risk of injury if the product falls, or of fire or electric shock if water enters the product. ●●Keep the sensor range caps out of the reach of children. In the event they are swallowed, seek medical advice immediately. C ●●In areas with strong winds (wind can vibrate the camera, causing incorrect motion detection. ) ●●Where reflective objects are in front of the camera and can interfere with the heat detection, such as glass. ●●In areas where brightness changes easily (for example where shadows form in the afternoon and where lights turn on at night) ●●In areas where backlight occurs (faces in the dark may not be able to be identified. ) ●●If a strong light is shining on the camera, the visitor’s face may not be distinguishable. Do not place the camera in the following locations. – Where most of the background is the sky. – Where the background is a white wall, and direct sunlight will reflect off it. – Where direct sunlight will shine on the camera. People pass in front of the external sensor and are easy to detect even if they approach straight to the camera. By configuring the [Sensor selection] setting so that only the external sensor is used, cars visible by the camera are less likely to be incorrectly detected. ●●The camera’s indicator lamp (C) flashes in green during registration. [. . . ] Make sure to replace the cable covers (A). 5 Attach the camera to the wall mount bracket and secure it. ●●After attaching the 4 screws (accessory), attach the screw covers. ●●Recommended torque: 1. 2 N·m {12. 2 kgf·cm} Screw covers (accessory) Screws (accessory) Testing the sensor detection images Confirm if images are correctly recorded before and after images are recorded for sensor detections. ●● he operations described here are based on the VL-SWD501 series main monitor. See the T Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom System for more information. Attach one of caps 1-3 as shown above according to the area you do not want to be detected ■ Heat sensor sensitivity and detection range The detection range shown below is an approximation. [. . . ]
