What is unattended object

detection?

The unattended object detection function of this unit

compares the reference background image with the

current image to detect an unattended object. The unit

can perform “Abandoned object detection” of an object

that did not exist and appears now as an unattended

object. The unit can also perform “Removed object

detection” of an object that existed before and now has

disappeared as an unattended object.

Abandoned object detection

The camera first stores in memory the background

image for reference. If an object that did not exist before

appears on the background and stops, the camera detects

the object as an unattended object. If the unattended

object stays in camera image for more than the specified

time, it is marked with a red frame and an alarm linked

to unattended object detection is output. you can activate

alarm sending of the FTP client function, alarm

recording of the image memory function and playback

of an audio file in synchronization with the alarm.

A car appears in the foreground.

After the detection time, the location

Notes

After the detection time, the car in the

foreground is detected as an

unattended object.

• The colors and red frames shown in the monitor

display to indicate prospective unattended objects are

not displayed on the image files that are sent or

recorded linked to the unattended object detection

function.

• You can view an image in the main viewer during the

setting of the object detection function only when

MPEG4 is selected for Dual codec in the Video codec

tab.

• The unattended object detection may not work

correctly if the brightness of a scene changes

significantly, for example, when you shoot an outdoor

scene continuously from day to night.

• Unattended object detection may not work correctly if

the image is of flat scene such as a monochrome wall

or floor.

• Before actual use, perform an operation test and

confirm that the object detection function works

correctly.

Removed object detection

The camera first stores in memory the background

image for reference. If an object that existed before

moves and disappears, the camera detects the location

where the object existed as an unattended object. If there

are no changes in the unattended object (location) for

more than the specified time, that location is marked

with a red frame and an alarm linked to unattended

object detection is output. You can activate alarm

sending of the FTP client function, alarm recording of

the image memory function and playback of an audio

file in synchronization with the alarm.
