About the Auto-Tracking Function

The camera's auto tracking function operates by using
image recognition. The client is responsible for
understanding and applying the following warnings
regarding installation and operation necessary to
prevent losses due to malfunction or lack of detection
as a result of unforeseeable aspects of the installation
area.
• The camera's tracking function is for monitoring
unknown intruders. It is not suitable for locations
with large numbers of people such as intersections
or retail stores. Be sure to confirm this before
installing the camera.
• Be sure to set the height of the camera under the
detailed settings (page 41) of the auto-tracking
function.
• Install the camera in a horizontal configuration, with
the dome pointed downwards.
• Install the camera securely so that it does not sway.
High resolution operation may reduce performance.
• The camera cannot track well horizontally or directly
below itself, so avoid this type of installation.
• Install the camera and adjust the view angle so that
people do not move vertically on the screen.
Vertical motion creates only small deviation on the
screen and may not be detected.
• Dirt or scratches on the dome cover make it difficult
to see the image which may reduce performance.
Periodically clean the dome cover.

Precautions

1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Ask qualified service personnel for servicing.
2. Handle the camera with care.
Do not misuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,
etc. The camera could be damaged by improper
handling or storage.
3. Install the camera at a location that is able to
support its total weight.
Installing at a location that is not strong enough can
cause the camera to fall down or tip over. Be sure
to reinforce weak locations sufficiently before
installing the camera.
4. Use the fall-prevention wires to reduce the risk
of the camera falling down.
Do not detach the fall-prevention wire securing the
camera. Otherwise the camera could fall down,
causing injury to persons and damage to the
camera.
• Rain or snow on the dome cover may reduce
performance. Consider placing the camera under
eaves or some kind of cover.
• Use the electronic sensitivity enhancement (page 29)
if using the camera at night (approximately 10 lx).
• Use the detection area mask (page 42) to avoid
detection errors caused by the motion of trees or
traffic.
• Auto-tracking may start for vehicles or other non-
human movements,
malfunction. Adjust the view angle or use detection
area masking (page 42).
• Adjust the view angle or use detection area
masking (page 42) if there is strong back lighting,
neon lighting or other flashing lights, or reflection on
glass or the surface of a road in the image.
• To detect people, adjust the view angle so that the
people are about 1/5 of the vertical height of the
screen.
• Periodically replace consumable parts (page 7).
The pan, tilt and zoom functions operate in
unison to track moving subjects smoothly.
5. Never aim the camera at the sun.
Whether or not the camera is in use , never aim it at
the sun or
Otherwise, blooming or smear may be caused.
6. Never aim the camera at strong light sources for
an extended period of time.
A light source such as a spot light causes burn-in
on the display screen. Failure to observe this may
cause the image to become discoloured due to
deterioration of the colour filter in the CCD.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified
temperature, humidity or power source ratings.
Do not use the camera in an extreme environment
where high temperature or high humidity exists. Do
not place the camera near heat sources such as
radiators, stoves or other units that produce heat.
Use the camera under conditions where tempera-
ture is between –40 °C to +50 °C and humidity is
below 90 %.
The input power source is 220 V - 240 V AC for WV-
CW970 and 24 V AC for WV-CW974.
