5. To change the threshold temperature, do the following:
• For the Interval alarm, push the navigation pad left/right to select the low/high-tem-
perature value.
• Push the navigation pad up/down to change the threshold temperature.

17.1.4 Building isotherms

Note The Condensation and Insulation alarms are not supported by all camera models.
17.1.4.1 About the Condensation alarm
To detect areas with potential moisture problems, you can use the Condensation alarm.
You can set the relative humidity above which the isotherm will colorize the image.
17.1.4.2 About the Insulation alarm
The Insulation alarm can detect areas where there may be an insulation deficiency in the
building. It will trigger when the insulation level (which is called the thermal index in the
camera) falls below a preset value of the energy leakage through a wall.
Different building codes recommend different values for the insulation level, but typical val-
ues are 60–80% for new buildings. Refer to your national building code for
recommendations.
17.1.4.3 Setting up condensation and insulation alarms
