■ Setting procedure
Draw Marker 1 and Marker 2 in two places in the drawing area.
The subject size will be automatically entered as you draw.
Click the [Clear] button to erase the drawn markers.

Example of Depth Setting

・Draw the marker in the drawing area at two distances: the front and the back. If the two markers are close, the depth may not be set correctly.

Size setting
When the depth setting is enabled, only the moving objects detected with sizes between the maximum and the minimum sizes trigger alarms.
Set the maximum size and the minimum size based on a subject with a total length of 160 cm (63 inches) as the standard size (100%).

Max. size
Set the maximum size of the moving object to be detected.

100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300%, Unlimited

Default setting: 300%

Min. size
Set the minimum size of the moving object to be detected.

10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%

Default setting: 50%

The following shows a setting example for detecting humans between 48 cm and 240 cm in height as alarm triggers.
e.g. Marker shape: 1:3 (Vertical), Min. size: 30% (160×30%), Max. size: 150% (160×150%)

3.4.3Motion detection threshold

[Motion detection threshold]
Set the detection threshold for the movement of the object you want to detect.
The smaller the value, the easier it will be to detect, but the more likely it will be to make a false detection.
