Setting Intelligent Function Detection Settings - Canon VB-M40 Operation Manual

Important
Notes on intelligent function settings and operation
• When setting intelligent function, do an actual detection test
to confirm that detection will be performed correctly.
• When the brightness of the entire screen suddenly changes,
the detection may be delayed for up to 5 minutes.
• If [Auto] is used in [Day/Night] settings, and automatic
switching between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode] is
performed, [Restarting intelligent function. Please wait.] is
shown and intelligent function will restart. Detection will not
be performed while intelligent function is restarting.
• Do not set detection areas in the On-screen Display area.
• Movements of subjects are not detected in privacy mask
areas.
• If the camera is operated during intelligent function setting or
operation, [Restarting intelligent function. Please wait.] is
shown and intelligent function will restart. Detection will not
be performed while intelligent function is restarting.
• Set intelligent function again if the angle of view is changed
through camera operation, or the camera position of a preset
or home position is changed using Preset Setting Tool.
Difficult-to-detect Subjects
• Objects or portions where there is little contrast in color or
brightness with the background may not be detected.
• Small objects and changes on the screen may not be
detected.
• Partial or entire changes in light on the screen may trigger
detection.
• If multiple objects overlap, the detection status may change.
