Overview
GETTING STARTED
The Camera Sabotage behavior must be installed on the
Pelco IP extended platform (EP) cameras with Sarix technology: Behaviors installed on
EP cameras are configured using the WS5000 software version 2.0 or later. Depending on the model, these cameras are preloaded with one of the following Pelco analytics suites:
•Motion Suite: Adaptive Motion and Directional Motion behaviors
•Object Suite: Abandoned Object, Objecting Counting, and Object Removal behavior
NOTES:
•Pelco recommends that you set Focus to Manual when using analytics on EP cameras. If Focus is set to Auto, significant background changes will occur when the camera automatically adjusts to different points within a scene, resulting in a frequently changing image sharpness. This may cause problems with scene recognition, which will suspend the analytics operation or cause false alarms.
•The Scene Analyzer behavior installed on EP cameras is intended for future use only.
When working with profiles, refer to the following sections:
•Add a Profile on page 6
•Rename a Profile on page 8
•Save a Copy of a Profile on page 9
•Delete a Profile on page 9
•Run a Profile on page 10
DESCRIPTION
The Camera Sabotage behavior detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if spray paint, a cloth, or a lens cap covers the lens. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm.
CAMERA INSTALLATION
Install the camera in a high position, looking down on the scene. The field of view should be as large as possible. A small field of view could result in the view being blocked by an adjacent object.
SCENE SELECTION
Avoid scenes with a dark, uniform background; low lighting; and large moving objects.
