The camera's object detection can detect people and vehicles as objects. Other disturbances are thus ignored. For the object detection to perform optimally, certain frame conditions must be observed during installation or with the camera’s field of view.
1. The installation height of the camera should be selected between 2.5 and 5 metres. The inclination
should not exceed 10 degrees.
2. The object height in the selected image section must be between 1/16 and 1/2 of the image height. If
objects in the image are shown too large or too small, they may not be detected correctly.
3. Note that below the camera a certain area is not under surveillance.
4. The maximum surveillance distance depending on the focal length of the camera is as follows:
5. Reflective surfaces in the image section can confuse object detection.
6. Make sure that there are no branches or leaves in close proximity to the camera in the image section.
7. Dome cameras are less suitable for outdoor surveillance with object detection, as light scatter or light
reflection can occur in the dome. This affects the object detection.
8. Do not use object detection in areas with a correspondingly high number or frequency of lenses (people,
vehicles). This results in a high number of alarms. Focal len

The higher the speed of the objects in the image, the shorter the exposure time must be set. This reduces the brightness of the image. Additional lighting may then be necessary. A common value for the exposure time for fast-moving objects is 1/250.121
Focus The camera focuses automatically after restarting or after operating the zoom function. However, the focus can also be adjusted manually afterwards, this is done directly on the live view page. This manually set focal point is then set again even after the camera is restarted, because the camera has saved this point.
Day and night switching Day/Night Switch Day/Night Switch provides options for “Auto”, “Day” and “Night”. Auto Depending on the light conditions, the camera switches between day and night mode automatically. The sensitivity can be set between 0 and 7. Day In this mode, the camera only outputs colour pictures.
ht conditions remain constant. Night In this mode, the camera only outputs black/white pictures.
ht conditions are poor. Schedule Sensitivity Setting for the switching threshold for automatic day/night switching (0–7). A lower value means that there is a lower lighting level for switching to night mode. Delay time ("filter time") Setting a delay time between recognising that a switching is required and carrying out the process. Smart IR (“Intelligent additional light") This function can reduce the cross-fade of the video image, in the event that light is reflected from nearby objects.
