    Lighting & Enviromental Conditions Unless a camera is in a controlled enviroment, fluctuations in condi- tions will occur. The VMD-1001 provides the flexibility to configure the Video Motion Detector for two separate sets of conditions.

    Common NO NC Figure 2 - Alarm Plug Alarm Output The VMD-1001 has one Form-C alarm output with a normally open (N/ O) and normally closed (N/C) configuration. When power is lost, the contacts are as follows. The contacts change state (open to closed N/O, or closed to open N/ C) whenever an alarm occurs.

    For mobile operation, a negative ground system is required, unless the video ground is isolated from the automobile chassis ground. If oper- ated in a vehicle, make sure the power supplied to the VMD-1001 is properly filtered so alternator, radio or other equipment does not gener- ated noise that might effect the motion detection performance.

  • Page 17: Tracking Level

    Use the Menu button to highlight the Track setting and either in- crease or decrease the value using the Left or Right arrow buttons. Configuration Hints: The Tracking criteria makes the VMD-1001 excellent for outdoors. By increasing the number of seconds, many natural occurences can be maske out.
  • Page 18: Relay Contact

    gust of wind might take 1.0 second. If the tracking is too low, sud- den changes such as lighting, insects near the camera, flashing lights, snow, and rain may falsely trigger alarms. The Tracking at- tribute can require up to 8.0 seconds of continuous motion which is more than sufficient to mask out most natural phenomena as well as intermittent motion.
