Precautions for installation
Before installation
The main monitor station (called "main monitor") and the camera use radio waves to communicate
with each other. (The product operates in the frequency range of 1.88 GHz to 1.90 GHz, and the
RF transmission power is 250 mW (max.).) Read the following and install the product in an appropriate location.
Operation distance: up to 100 m
(with no obstacles)
Main monitor
Communication between the main monitor and the camera
Confirming the signal condition at the installation location
●The maximum communication distance between the main monitor and the camera (up to
100 m) may be shortened when the product is used in places where there are the following
obstacles between the main monitor and the camera.
If there are the above obstacles, images displayed on the main monitor may be distorted
or delayed, audio may cut out, and the product may not be usable. In this case, the camera’s indicator lamp lights or flashes red.
(
"Camera signal status" below.
)
If your Video Intercom System includes a sub monitor, it can be used to easily check the signal status. (If there is no sub monitor, use a camera.)
●You can rectify these problems by using an optional DECT Repeater VL-FKD2EX to
relay the signal from the main monitor. (
Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom
System)
By taking the sub monitor to the installation site, you can confirm the signal status
on the sub monitor’s screen.
Temporarily connect the camera and the
power supply unit to turn on the camera,
and then register it to the main monitor.
Later, you can take the camera to the
installation site and confirm the signal status using the camera’s indicator lamp.
■
Using the sub monitor to confirm
■
Using the camera to confirm
●In direct sunlight or directly under an
outdoor light (even if the surrounding
areas are within the operational
temperature range, portions of the product
may become hot)
●Areas subject to frequent vibration, shock,
or impact
●Near re, heating devices, or magnetic
elds (such as near magnets)
●Near heating or cooling systems,
including outdoor equipment such as air
conditioning unit compressors
●In greasy or moist locations
●Near devices that emit radio waves, such
as mobile phones
Do not install in these locations
■
To prevent deformation, discolouration, malfunction, operational failure
■
Incorrect detections may occur in the following locations
●Areas where people approach from
directly in front of the camera, such as
narrow walkways
●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 with strong winds (wind can vibrate the camera, causing incorrect motion detection.)
●Where reective 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 identied.)
●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.
●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)
●On high-trafc streets
(passing cars may cause detections even
if they are more than 5 m away)
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.
The camera has 2 sensors: the motion detection sensor and the heat sensor.
Please read the following information about the camera’s motion detection sensor and heat sensor
before deciding where to mount the camera.

When using the heat sensor
Using the sensor range caps Changing the angle of the heat sensor
If there are objects that you do not want the heat sensor to detect, you can limit the detectable
area by attaching the sensor range caps.
You can use the heat sensor adjustment lever on the camera to set the heat sensor to one
of two positions.
■ Sensor range cap types and detection range
In addition to the standard cap (already attached to the camera), there are four cap types
(caps 1-4). Each cap prevents a different area from being detected and can be attached
at 45-degree increments. Refer to the following and attach the proper cap at the proper
angle.
●The detection area is an approximation for when the [Heat sensor sensitivity] setting
(
"Changing the sensitivity of the heat sensor", below right) is set to [Normal].
(Varies by ambient temperature at camera installation location)
(Example 1)
When there is an object on the right side of
the viewable area that you do not want to
be detected (house next door, street, etc.).
Attach one of caps 1-3 as shown on the right
according to the area you do not want to be
detected.
(Example 2) When there is an object in the top left of
the viewable area that you do not want
to be detected (cars in a street, etc.).
■ Removing and attaching sensor range caps
When removing:
Use the thick end of the cap removement tool (accessory) to remove.
When attaching:
Rotate the tab on the cap toward the
top or at a 45-degree angle according to
the type of cap or direction, and attach
the cap on the camera as shown on the
right.
Attach one of caps 1-3 as shown
above according to the area you
do not want to be detected

Use the main monitor to confirm the detections made by the heat sensor or motion detection.
●The operations described here are based on the VL-SWD501EX series main monitor. See the
Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom System for more information.
●When sensors make a detection
–
The camera’s LED lights and indicator lamp

–
The display on the main monitor changes as
shown to the right according to the sensor type
selected in step 1.
Note:
●The camera image turns off automatically after about 20 minutes when conrming the sensor. If
20 minutes pass while conrming, start over from the beginning.
●You can also use the above procedure to conrm a commercially available external sensor, if
connected.

Testing the sensor detection images
Confirm if images are correctly recorded before and after images are recorded for sensor detections.
● The operations described here are based on the VL-SWD501EX series main monitor. See the
Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom System for more information.
From the top menu of the main monitor, touch → →
[Connected devices] → [Camera]→ camera number → [Sensor settings] →
[Recording test].
You must trigger the
sensor at the camera
within about 20 minutes.
When recording ends, touch [Result] and
confirm the recorded images (A-D).
To end the operation, press
.
●A screen such as the one shown on
the right is displayed on the main
monitor, and images from when the
detection occurred are retained (up
to 4 still images).
●Touch an image (
A-D
) to display it full-
screen.
●To perform a recording test again, touch
in the screen shown to the right,
and touch [Test again] when the screen
in step 3 is displayed.
When using default setting:
A:
Image from 1 second before detection
B to D: Images from time of detection
until about 2 seconds after detection
You can use the
[Recording before detection] setting to
retain images from up to 2 seconds before
the detection. (
Operating Instructions
of the Video Intercom System)
The sensor name is displayed for
about 1 second. When the sensor is triggered again, the name is
displayed.
■ Confirm with a subject that you want
to detect
Check whether the sensor is triggered at the
location where you want to detect movement,
with people moving in the direction you want
to detect.
■ Confirm with a subject that you do not
want to detect
Check whether the sensor is not triggered by
subjects that you do not want to detect, such
as people or cars moving on a street.
●The camera waits for the sensors to be triggered and live images from the camera are
displayed.
