2.0 DESCRIPTION
The MD2001 is an analog video motion detector designed to detect motion in the
field-of-view of a CCTV camera.
The MD2001 utilizes solid-state circuitry and provides consistent detection levels
and high levels of noise immunity. An on-screen window defines the sensitized
detection area of the screen. Front panel controls allow for vertical and horizontal
size and positioning of the detection area. Sensitivity is adjustable and automati-
cally compensates for slow changes in light levels. Only standard video from a
camera is required. No external sync devices are necessary.
Upon detection of motion, the MD2001 alerts the operator with a two-tone audio
beeper and a flashing LED, and provides a switch closure to start an auxiliary de-
vice such as a Time Lapse VCR. Also, the MD2001 allows for automatic or manual
reset.

3.0 INSTALLATION
Systems involving video motion detectors must use the best possible connection
and grounding practices. Poor wiring not only causes poor pictures, but could af-
fect the alert function. Camera and lens selection, camera location, scene lighting,
and mounting are also significant factors in achieving optimum performance. These
factors are covered in more detail in Section 4.5, SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS.
3.1 VIDEO INPUT
Connect a good grade of coax cable from the camera to the “VIDEO IN” BNC
connector on the rear panel of the MD2001. The MD2001 has a passive loop-
through input. It does not terminate the input in 75 ohms.

4.3 SETUP
1. Apply power to the motion detector and associated cameras, switchers, and moni-
tors. It is normally better to have power to auxiliary equipment, such as VCR’s,
turned off during initial setup.
2. If necessary, adjust the switcher to display the camera connected to the mo-
tion detector.
3. Turn all motion detector toggle switches to OFF (down position).
4. Turn the DISPLAY switch to ON (up). The detection area window (see Figure 4)
can be seen on the monitor. Motion inside this detection window will be de-
tected. The size of this area may be adjusted (using a small screwdriver) us-
ing the front panel controls for vertical and horizontal position and size. (See
Section 4.1, FRONT PANEL CONTROLS AND INDICATORS)
5. Turn the ARM toggle switch to the ON position (up). This will activate all alert
functions. Motion in the detection window will cause the audio beeper to sound,
the visual alert red LED to flash on and off, the relay contacts to close, and the
switcher logic output to go active low.
6. Check to see that the RESET toggle switch is in the MAN (down) position be-
fore proceeding with sensitivity adjustment. This will allow adjustment of the
detection window sensitivity without the interference of an automatic reset.
7. Sensitivity, the most critical adjustment, can be varied using the SEN control
(using a small screwdriver). The setting should be low enough to avoid false
or unwanted alerts caused by normal motions such as birds or blowing leaves,
but high enough to detect motions of interest. The optimum setting is best
determined by experimenting at the site where the MD2001 is to be used.
Start with the mid-range setting. Simulate anticipated motions which should
and should not cause an alert. If the results are unsatisfactory, raise (adjust
control clockwise) or lower (adjust control counter clockwise) the sensitivity,
reset the unit with the MAN RESET button, and repeat the simulated activity
until satisfactory performance is obtained.
8. If desired, turn the RESET toggle switch to the AUTO (up position). The unit
will automatically reset after motion ceases. If the reset interval is to short or
long, reconfigure the rear panel dip switch settings for the time desired (see
Section 4.2, REAR PANEL CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS and Table B,
Setup Timer Table).
9. Setting the AUDIBLE dip switch (switch #4 on the back panel) in the up posi-
tion will enable the buzzer. Setting dip switch #4 in the down position will
disable the buzzer.

4.4 NORMAL OPERATION
During normal operation, the motion detector may be set with all toggle switches in
the active mode (up position). This displays the detection window, arms the four
action indicators (LED, Logic output, relay contact, and buzzer) and activates the
AUTO reset. It allows the operator to look away from the monitor and quickly locate
the detection window on the screen. If the operator wishes to turn the alert indica-
tors off and reset sooner, the manual reset button can be used.
If the motion detector is used to view a critical area during a non-critical time period, such
as a door at quitting time, the ARM switch may be set to OFF (down position). In this
mode theALRT LED will flash, but the audio signal and auxiliary output will not activate.
4.5 SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
Motion detectors operate on the principle that any change in the camera field-of-view
is caused by some moving object. They monitor the content of the camera field-of-view
within a sensitized area and detect differences in the scene content in that area
from one TV frame to the next. Moving objects in the detection area field-of-view
cause video changes which, depending on the sensitivity setting, cause alerts. How-
ever, particularly in outdoor installations, normal motions such as blowing leaves,
small animals, birds, or clouds may cause unwanted alerts. Other factors, such as
instability in the camera, rapid changes in light level caused by an auto-iris, jitter
caused by camera interlace, or electrical noise signals superimposed on the video
signal by improper cabling or poor grounding will also cause changes in the scene
content and produce false alerts. The sensitivity adjustment establishes the amount
of change in scene content that is required within the detection area before the unit
produces an alert. Reducing the sensitivity will reduce unwanted or false alerts. How-
ever, sensitivity to desired alert conditions is also reduced. Other important system
considerations for achieving optimum motion detector performance are discussed in
the following sections.
4.6 CAMERA SELECTION
The MD2001 may be used with both 2:1 interlace and random interlace cameras.
No external sync drive from the camera is required. These features are exceptional
in motion detection systems.
Nevertheless, camera selection is very important. The selected cameras should be
electrically and mechanically stable, low-noise, high quality units for best performance.
In general, random interlace cameras will give a lower level of performance than
2:1 interlace cameras. Small disturbances of the image are inherent with random
scanning. These disturbances may be interpreted by the motion detector as object
motions. Consequently, a system using random interlace cameras will require a
slightly lower sensitivity setting to minimize false alerts.
4.7 LENS SELECTION
Video motion detector systems are primarily affected by three lens parameters:
Focal length, Lens Aperture and the Iris control method.
4.7.1 Focal Length
The focal length of a lens directly affects the apparent size of objects as seen on
the monitor and by the motion detector. Focal length also affects the overall camera
field-of-view. Along focal length (telephoto) lens magnifies objects in the scene, but
covers a smaller area. A short focal length (wide-angle) lens covers a large overall
scene, but shrinks the apparent size of objects in the scene. Motion detectors can
be affected by lenses that are too short or too long in focal length.
A long focal length (telephoto) lens is often used outdoors to view distant areas.
These lenses magnify the effects of camera motion. It is important for the camera
to have a stable mount. Avoid unsteady towers or poles. Telephoto lenses also
magnify the disturbances caused by atmospheric effects, such as the image “swim-
ming” seen when hot air currents cause air density changes in the path between
the camera and what is being viewed.
10
Pelco Manual C616M-B (11/97)
Image interruption by snow, rain, and fog is obviously more frequent when the
camera is a distance from the scene being viewed. All these factors affect the total
distance that can be covered, the lens focal length and the usefulness of motion
detectors on outdoor scenes. They must be judged by the installer after determin-
ing the camera operating environment.
A short focal length (wide angle) lens is used when the camera is close to the scene
and a greater field-of-view is needed. Objects in the scene appear smaller on the
monitor and to the motion detector. Very small objects are more difficult for the
motion detector to sense. There is, therefore, a limit to the coverage advantage
when using wide angle lenses.
The field-of-view and magnification of a focal length lens also depends on the im-
age format (size) of the camera tube. Tables and formulas are often available from
the camera or lens supplier to help determine what lens is best.
These factors can affect the number of cameras needed in an installation. They
should be determined by calculation or experimentation during the initial design of
the video system.
4.7.2 Lens Aperture and Lens Control
The aperture (f-number) of a lens is a measure of the maximum lens opening avail-
able to pass light to the camera. It is also a measure of the relative performance of
a camera and lens combination at low light levels. Low light level performance is
affected by the camera type. Large apertures are indicated by small f-numbers (for
example, f/1.4).
As the light level on a scene drops, the possibility of both increased picture noise
and reduced video signal increases. Increased picture noise, especially low fre-
quency noise, increases the probability of false alerts and may necessitate a re-
duction of the sensitivity setting. Reduced video signal directly reduces the appar-
ent sensitivity of the motion detector. These factors limit the degree of scene dark-
ness at which the motion detector will operate.
The performance of various camera and lens combinations at different light levels
may be obtained from the manufacturer’s data. For optimum performance, the
MD2001 requires a moderately noise-free video signal at industry standard voltage
levels. The camera and lens combination should be selected more conservatively
than is normal in installations not using motion detectors.
Camera placement must be such that normal movements in the scene do not cause
the lens auto-iris to open or close rapidly. This can usually be accomplished by
mounting the camera high enough to obtain a neutral background scene.
The automatic iris lens should be adjusted for “average”, rather than “peak”, re-
sponse to avoid overreaction of the iris to brief light changes. When adjustable, the
time delay of the auto-iris should be set as long as possible.
Some auto-iris lenses are subject to “hunting” (a tendency to continuously open
and close a small amount while searching for the optimum iris aperture). This effect
is often visible as a slowly pulsating overall brightness of the monitor image. The
MD2001 will tolerate a small amount of lens hunting. Excessive hunting usually
indicates a problem with the iris control mechanism and should be corrected.
Pelco Manual C616M-B (11/97)
11
4.8 DETECTABLE TARGETS
The ability to detect a moving object is determined by its size, contrast with the
background, and speed of motion. Once an object appears larger than approxi-
mately 3% of the monitor screen dimension, or 0.1% of the screen area, its ability to
be detected will not increase greatly. Therefore, the best trade-off of area coverage
against sensitivity occurs when the lens and camera position are selected to give
this size for objects of interest. When maximum detection probability is desired, a
slightly longer focal length lens may be used.
An object must have some visual contrast with the scene background in order to be
detected. Contrast may be enhanced by improved lighting and by positioning the
camera so that detection targets appear against a background of contrasting color.
For most targets, a light background provides the highest contrast.
A target may move so slowly that its motion is not perceived by the unit. This prob-
lem may be corrected by using a longer focal length lens to magnify both the size
and apparent speed of motion of the target.
A target may move through the scene so rapidly that its presence is missed by the
camera and the system. This condition is very unusual, but often may be corrected
by camera positioning and lens selection.
In any given installation, these factors should be determined during installation
planning. If necessary, experiments under actual operating conditions should be
conducted.
4.9 FALSE ALERTS AND MISSES
Common causes of excessive false alerts are:
a. Sensitivity control set too high
b. Loose or defective coaxial video connectors or cables
c. Spurious moving objects or lights in the camera field-of-view
d. Camera ALC set too high
e. Unnoticed shadows
f.
Flickering fluorescent lights, etc.
Common causes of excessive misses are:
a. Sensitivity control set too low
b. Object in motion is too fast or too slow
c. Object in motion is too small to create sufficient video change
If false alerts and misses continue to be a problem, the entire installation should be
reexamined. Installation changes to improve performance may be possible. Such
changes may include:
a. Relocation of the camera
b. Change of lens
c. Change of lighting
d. Addition, at different locations, of other cameras and motion detectors to cover
a wider variety of motions
