6 PIR Camera Reference Manual
• Heat sources within the detector field of view
• Strong air draughts onto the detector
• Animals in the field of view
• Obscuring the detector field of view with large objects, such as furniture
We recommend that the PIR camera is regularly walk tested and checked at the
control panel.
Programming
Wireless PIR camera is programmed using the Advisor Advanced programming
menu.
How to program a camera:
1. Program the wireless PIR camera expander. See “ATS1238 expander” on
page 4 for more details.
2. Program a wireless PIR camera as a wireless PIR detector. See
“Programming menus specific for PIR camera” on page 7 for more details.
If the detector is programmed successfully, the appropriate camera is created
automatically. The created camera number is equal to the zone number of the
wireless PIR detector.
3. Program the camera options. See “4.3 Cameras” on page 10.
4. Assign zones to the camera. Choose up to four zones. The camera is useful if
its field of view covers these zones or possible burglar escape paths from
there.
By default, the first assigned zone is the zone of the wireless detector built in
the configured wireless PIR camera.
5. If necessary, program conditional event filters that activate the camera.
6. If necessary, program reporting events that activate the camera.
