Enabling MVA via the camera’s on-screen display and JCU

You can enable MVA using the camera’s on-screen display and a connected JCU.

  1. Press the Menu button on the connected JCU to open the on-screen display menu.
  2. Scroll through the menu and select MVA.
  3. From the drop-down menu, select the payload you want Object Detection enabled for: Visible (VIS), Thermal (IR) or Both.
    Note

    Payload choice is dependent on camera model.

Object Detection settings can be found in the Settings menu: Menu > Settings > Advanced image

  • VIS / IR Threshold — adjusting the threshold value will lower or increase the camera payload’s sensitivity for detecting objects:

    • 1 is the lowest threshold and will show all small and distant detected objects.

    • 16 is the maximum threshold, and will only show prominent objects detected by the camera.

  • VIS / IR Environment — for each of the camera’s payloads, select the type of external environment you are using object detection in:

    • Coastal has more filtering to reduce false detections of land.

    • Open sea has less filtering, and may identify land as an object.
