| Answer... | *The Human Detection Sensor is a pyroelectric infrared sensor; it senses temperature variations by detecting the infrared light emitted by people, animals, and other heat-producing objects. *This allows the camera to detect temperatures and temperature changes that result from people or other objects that are moving within the sensor's range. |
(2004/08/25)
| Answer... | The sensor detects large variations between the temperature of the area within its range and temperature changes that result from people or other objects that are moving within the sensor's range; the larger the variation, the easier it is to detect the variations, and smaller variations are likewise more difficult to detect. |

| Answer... | Refer to the following during installation.
*The range of the sensor becomes shorter as the temperature within the range of the sensor becomes higher. As a result, there may be times when the sensor does not detect properly in very high temperature environments, such as during summertime. |
(2004/08/25)
| Answer... | Animals with higher body temperature, such as dogs, can be detected similarly to humans. |

|
(2004/08/25)
| Answer... | *If the movement results in temperature variations, the sensor can detect it. *The sensor detects temperature changes; therefore if the object moves very slowly, it will not be detected. *Object which pass in front of the camera from side to side are more likely to be detected than objects which approach the camera from the front. |
(2004/08/25)
| Answer... | Because the camera stores images in its internal memory, also called an image buffer. After the sensor detects something, it can transfer images that are already in its memory, which means images from before the detection can also be transferred. |

For more information on building your web site, consult your service provider. |

| Answer... | Privacy mode hides the lens into the unit to protect privacy. |
(2004/08/25)
| Answer... | *We developed this feature because of comments from our customers who said "I want to see something using my Network Camera, but I don't want to be seen myself." *We gave consideration to those who want their privacy and do not want to worry about being seen through their Network Cameras. *Because the lens actually rolls back into the unit and out of site, no one will be able to see you while you are at home, for example. |
(2004/08/25)
| Answer... | There are 2 ways to confirm that privacy mode is turned on or off. You can tell by looking at the indicator or at the lens itself. - When privacy mode is turned on, the indicator is red and the lens is hidden inside the unit. - When privacy mode is turned off, the indicator is green and the lens is visible. Note however, that depending on the setting for "Indicator Control", the indicator may not be lit. |
(2004/08/25)
| Answer... | *Privacy mode can be turned on and off by pressing the privacy mode button on the front of the unit and also by controlling the camera over the network (available for the camera administrator only). *There is no particular priority; the last setting made is the effective |

| Answer... | So that the camera can be accessed while away from home, just in case. For example, you can turn privacy mode off while away from home if you want to view camera images but you forgot to turn privacy mode off before leaving the house. In order to turn privacy mode on or off while away from home, you need to enter a valid ID and password. This means you don't need to worry about other people turning off your privacy mode and viewing images from your camera. |
(2004/08/25)
| Answer... | *The camera can be set so that privacy mode is always off and cannot be turned on. In this case, privacy mode will not be activated when the privacy mode button is pressed. If you have no need to use the privacy mode feature, disable the privacy mode button (uncheck "Enable"). *Small birds or animals which have a small surface area. -The sensor may not detect the person in certain situations. In this case, the camera administrator can still view camera images by turning privacy mode off remotely. |

| Answer... | Generally settings can be made easily, however some broadband routers may require more effort to configure than others. For example, some UPnP-compatible broadband routers are set to not use UPnP by default. In this case, you will need to enable the broadband router's UPnP feature. Refer to the documentation included with your broadband router for more information. |
(2004/08/25)
| Answer... | *UPnP takes the place of port forwarding. *Until now, port forwarding settings needed to be made manually in order to allow you to access your Network Camera while away from home. This somewhat complicated procedure can now be performed automatically thanks to UPnP. |
