CCD: High quality CCD cameras will work well with the VMD-1001. The higher the resolution, the more precise the motion detection. CCD cameras work equally well in both indoor and outdoor enviroments. It is recommednded that B&W CCD cameras be used in outdoor applica-...
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. Florescent Lighting: Gradual or sudden lighting changes, video noise, intermittence or glitches in video lines, or power surges can be ignored by the VMD-1001.
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.
This feature is useful when setting the Sensitivity Level. The red LED will light solid or slow flashing when the alarm is enabled. If an alarm is active (i.e. the VMD-1001 is generating an alarm) pressing the Alarm button will clear the alarm. After that, the alarms will toggle...

Alarm Setup The Alarm Setup menu is the most important setup for the opera- tion of the motion detector. It is used to adjust criteria for qualifying a valid alarm. ALARM CRITERIA SENS >02< TRACK HOLD 0.05 RLY CONTACT >NC< BUZZER >OFF<...
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.
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.
Power up the VMD using the Relay Contact menu, select the proper choice (NO or NC) which indicates no alarm when in fact no alarm exists. Alarm Zones By selecting Alarm Zones you are able to change the detection zones of the video motion. Upon entering this menu, the top left most zone will be flashing a rectangular box.
Use the Menu button to highlight the Time Format setting and ei- ther select 12H or 24H using the Left or Right arrown buttons. TIME FORMAT -> >12H< DATE FORMAT >MDY< DMY Use the Menu button to highlight the Date Format setting and either select MDY or DMY using the Left or Right arrow but- tons.
