Installing the power supply unit and camera
Important:
 ● Register the camera to the main monitor station before installation. (  reverse side)
 ● Do not attach to a ceiling.
 ● Do not install in areas directly exposed to water or rain.
 ● Holes must be made in the wall for cables and wires to pass through. Panasonic takes no 
responsibility for issues related to opening holes in walls.
 ● Make sure to waterproof the holes made in walls.
 ● Make sure you use the safety wire attached to the camera to prevent the camera from 
falling.
 ● Required pull-out capacity of a single screw is 294 N {30 k
g
f} or more. If this criteria is not 
met, make sure to take additional measures to increase strength.
 ● Do not use an impact driver. (This may lead to damaged screws or over tightening.)

When using the heat sensor
Using the sensor range caps Changing the angle of the heat sensor
If there are objects that you do not want the heat sensor to detect, you can limit the detectable 
area by attaching the sensor range caps.
You can use the heat sensor adjustment lever on the camera to set the heat sensor to one 
of two positions.
■ Sensor range cap types and detection range
In addition to the standard cap (already attached to the camera), there are four cap types 
(caps 1-4). Each cap prevents a different area from being detected and can be attached 
at 45-degree increments. Refer to the following and attach the proper cap at the proper 
angle.
 ● The detection area is an approximation for when the [Heat sensor sensitivity] setting  
(
 "Changing the sensitivity of the heat sensor", below right) is set to [Normal]. 
(Varies by ambient temperature at camera installation location)
(Example 1) 
When there is an object on the right side of 
the viewable area that you do not want to 
be detected (house next door, street, etc.). 
Attach one of caps 1-3 as shown on the right 
according to the area you do not want to be 
detected.
(Example 2)
 
When there is an object in the top left of 
the viewable area that you do not want 
to be detected (cars in a street, etc.).
■ Removing and attaching sensor range caps
When removing: 
Use the thick end of the cap removement tool (accessory) to remove.
When attaching:
Rotate the tab on the cap toward the 
top or at a 45-degree angle according to 
the type of cap or direction, and attach 
the cap on the camera as shown on the 
right.
Attach one of caps 1-3 as shown 
above according to the area you 
do not want to be detected

When using motion detection
Changing the detection range of the motion detection sensor
Changing the sensitivity of the motion detection sensor
Use the main monitor to change the camera’s [Motion detection range] setting.
 ● By setting the areas that you do not want motion to be detected from the 12 blocks shown in 
the screen below, you can narrow down the areas that motion can be detected in.
Use the main monitor to change the camera’s [Motion detection sensitivity] setting. (You can 
adjust the amount of motion that will be detected by setting the sensitivity setting.)
■ Motion detection sensitivity setting (4 levels)
 ● High sensitivity
 ● Normal (default setting)
 ● Low sensitivity
 ● Very low sensitivity
Changing the setting (Example: Video Intercom System VL-SWD501EX series)
Use the main monitor settings, select [Connected devices] → [Camera] → camera number 
→ [Sensor settings] → [Motion detection range] → the areas not subject to detection from 
the 12 blocks, and then touch [Configure].
(Example) When checking motion detection performance, a car in the street that 
you do not want to be detected is displayed in the top of the screen
In the motion detection range screen, select the area containing the street that you do not 
want to be detected.
Adjusting sensor sensitivity and detection range
Note:
 ● When [High sensitivity] is selected, it is more likely that wind or objects outside the 
viewable area will cause detections. (Use this setting only when the installation 
environment absolutely requires it)
Use the main monitor to change the camera’s [Heat sensor sensitivity] setting.
(
The heat sensor’s range of detection varies by the selected sensitivity.
)

Ambient temperature: 20 °C
Use the main monitor settings, select [Connected devices] → [Camera] → camera 
number → [Sensor settings] → [Motion detection sensitivity] → the sensitivity from the 4

Confirming sensor detections
From the top menu of the main monitor, touch   →   →
[Connected devices] → [Camera] → camera number → [Sensor settings] → 
[Check sensors] → tap each type of sensor to confirm.
You must trigger the 
sensor at the camera 
within about 20 minutes.
To end the operation, press 
.

Use the main monitor to confirm the detections made by the heat sensor or motion detection.
 ● The operations described here are based on the VL-SWD501EX series main monitor. See the 
Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom System for more information.
 ● When sensors make a detection
– 
The camera’s LED lights and indicator lamp 
ash.
– 
The display on the main monitor changes as 
shown to the right according to the sensor type 
selected in step 1.
Note:
 ● The camera image turns off automatically after about 20 minutes when conrming the sensor. If 
20 minutes pass while conrming, start over from the beginning.
 ● You can also use the above procedure to conrm a commercially available external sensor, if 
connected.
When detections are not made correctly or when incorrect detections are made
■ When detections are not made prop-
erly
Refer to "Adjusting sensor sensitivity and 
detection range" (
at right) and make 
adjustments as explained below.

 ● Change the [Heat sensor sensitivity] 
setting (increase sensitivity) 
Motion detection:
 ● Change the [Motion detection sensitivity] 
setting (increase sensitivity)
■ When incorrect detections are made
Refer to "Adjusting sensor sensitivity and 
detection range" (
at right) and make 
adjustments as explained below.

Testing the sensor detection images
Confirm if images are correctly recorded before and after images are recorded for sensor detections.
 ●  The operations described here are based on the VL-SWD501EX series main monitor. See the 
Operating Instructions of the Video Intercom System for more information.
From the top menu of the main monitor, touch   →   →
[Connected devices] → [Camera]→ camera number → [Sensor settings] → 
[Recording test].
You must trigger the 
sensor at the camera 
within about 20 minutes.
When recording ends, touch [Result] and 
confirm the recorded images (A-D).
To end the operation, press 
.
 ● A screen such as the one shown on 
the right is displayed on the main 
monitor, and images from when the 
detection occurred are retained (up 
to 4 still images).
 ● Touch an image (
A
-
D
) to display it full-
screen.
 ● To perform a recording test again, touch 
 in the screen shown to the right, 
and touch [Test again] when the screen 
in step 3 is displayed.
When using default setting:
A: 
Image from 1 second before detection
B to D: Images from time of detection 
until about 2 seconds after detection 
You can use the 
[Recording before detection] setting to 
retain images from up to 2 seconds before 
the detection. (
 Operating Instructions 
of the Video Intercom System)
The sensor name is displayed for 
about 1 second. When the sen-
sor is triggered again, the name is 
displayed.
■ Confirm with a subject that you want 
to detect
Check whether the sensor is triggered at the 
location where you want to detect movement, 
with people moving in the direction you want 
to detect.
■ Confirm with a subject that you do not 
want to detect
Check whether the sensor is not triggered by 
subjects that you do not want to detect, such 
as people or cars moving on a street.
 ● The camera waits for the sensors to be triggered and live images from the camera are 
displayed.

■ About the installation location
 ● The device must be installed inside an electrical panel or cabinet.
 ● A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated external to the equipment.
-  External disconnect device must be certied and have a creepage and clearance 
distance of 3 mm or more.
■ Precautions for wiring
 ● Make sure you turn off the power at the breaker before performing any wiring work.
 ●  Always connect AC or DC cables to the appropriate connection terminals. Incorrectly 
connecting the AC or DC cables may damage the power supply unit.
 ● To prevent the power cables from disconnecting and to prevent electric shock, secure the 
power cables using the cable binders (accessory) and attach the cable covers.
