Choosing an Installation Location
Please read the following information about the camera’s motion detection feature and built-in
sensor (BL-C160 only) before deciding where to mount the camera.
Detection Features
Motion Detection Feature
The camera detects changes in the images being displayed.
Active Motion Detection Range
• When the color of moving objects and the background are similar, motion may not be correctly
detected.
• If there are sudden changes to overall light levels, motion may be incorrectly detected.
• For up to 2 seconds immediately following the light turning on or off no detection will take place.
(BL-C160 only)
Camera
About 5 m (16 feet 5 inches)
Detection range length
About 45q
Detection range angle
10
Detection Range Characteristics of the Motion Detection Feature
• Motion detection becomes more difficult as it becomes darker.
• The motion detection function works by detecting changes in contour and brightness in moving
objects. This is done in order to reduce inaccurate detections due to changes in brightness.
• The camera can easily detect motion when objects move sideways in front of the camera, but
cannot easily detect motion when objects move toward the front of the camera.
