an Installation Location Please read the following information about the camera's motion detection feature and built-in sensor (BL-C160 only) before deciding where to mount the camera. Detection Features Motion Detection Feature The camera detects changes in the images being displayed. Active Motion - Panasonic BL-C140A | Installation Guide - Page 10

This is done in order to reduce inaccurate detections due to changes in brightness. • The camera can easily detect motion when objects move sideways in front of the camera, but cannot easily detect motion when objects move toward the front of the - Panasonic BL-C140A | Installation Guide - Page 11
(BL-C160 Only) The camera's built-in sensor is a pyroelectric infrared sensor, which means it uses infrared rays to detect temperature differences within its range that are emitted naturally by people, animals, etc. The sensor can be used to trigger the camera to buffer (i.e., temporarily store - Panasonic BL-C140A | Installation Guide - Page 12

Example 2 If there are interfering objects (such as heat emitting devices) being displayed on both sides of the screen, use cap 3 to block the parts of the sensor that are detecting the interfering objects (in this case on the left and right-hand sides). Heat emitting device Other interfering object - Panasonic BL-C140A | Installation Guide - Page 25
Adjusting Motion Detection Sensitivity The sensitivity of the motion detection can be adjusted to match the installation environment. For more information, see 2.10 Adjusting Motion Detection Sensitivity in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM. 25 - Panasonic BL-C140A | Installation Guide - Page 26
more information, see 2.9 Adjusting Sensor Sensitivity (BL-C160) in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM. Temperature: 20 °C (68 °F) N High • In certain installation setups or environments it may be necessary to increase sensor sensitivity for the camera to be operational. • Increasing sensor - Panasonic BL-C140A | Installation Guide - Page 27
Sensor Range Caps (BL-C160 Only) When there are objects that you do not want to detect with the built-in sensor, a sensor range cap can be attached to the camera to control the detection range. There are 4 sensor range caps: the standard cap (attached at the time of purchase), cap 1, cap 2, and cap - Panasonic BL-C140A | Installation Guide - Page 28
