AutoDome 7000 Series (IP and HD) Operation en 149

If the Intelligent Tracking feature is set to Auto or Click, the live video image displays an eye icon in a color that conveys the state of the Intelligent Tracking:

–SEEK state: steady white

Intelligent Tracking is actively seeking a target to follow.

–IDLE state: alternating black and white, slow cycle

Intelligent Tracking lost the selected target and will wait for the target to reappear using the last known trajectory. During the IDLE state the camera will not seek other objects in motion.

–ACTIVE state: alternating black and white, fast cycle Intelligent Tracking is actively tracking a target.

–PASSIVE state: steady black

Intelligent Tracking attempts to passively track a target while a user has camera control. A third Intelligent Tracking mode is IVA-triggered.In this mode, the camera continuously analyzes the scene for IVA alarms or IVA rule violations. If an IVA rule is violated, it triggers the advanced tracking feature of the camera to start following the object / person that triggered the alarm. This allows the camera to track moving objects of interest without getting distracted by other moving objects in the scene.

To activate this mode, you must enable IVA by selecting either IVA 5.6 or IVA 5.6 Flow in the Analysis type field of the VCA page (from the SETTINGS page, select Advanced Mode > Alarm > VCA). Refer to the IVA 5.5x Operation Manual for specific information.

If the Show VCA metadata option is selected in LIVEPAGE Functions (from the SETTINGS page, select Advanced Mode > Web Interface > LIVEPAGE Functions), the live view will show the following metadata objects in the LIVEPAGE view:

–Objects in motion are initially identified in the video by a yellow outline.

–Actively tracked object in motion are identified in the video by a blue outline.

–When an object in motion is lost, a blue diamond appears designating the area where the target was lost.

Several reasons may cause the Intelligent Tracking to stop tracking a target:

–The target has stopped moving while being followed by Intelligent Tracking.

–The target has moved behind a static object in the scene.

In these instances, Intelligent Tracking switches to the IDLE mode (pink eye icon) and waits for the target to reappear in the scene. The camera will restart tracking if a target starts moving in the same area where the initial target stopped moving or if the camera detects an object moving along the last known trajectory.

15.3 Recommended Use of Your Camera

Bosch recommends that you consider the following in order to optimize the life of your Bosch camera.

1. Guard Tours and Preset Tours

With the AUTODOME 7000 Series, you can cover a full 360° view using continuous Guard Tours or Preset Tours. Depending on the type of camera tour selected, your camera might be either in continuous motion (pan, tilt, or both) or moving between selected preset positions.

Continuous Guard Tours

Guard Tours are a very effective way of monitoring the entire scene; however, if not configured properly, continuous Guard Tours can reduce the service life of your camera considerably. Continuous Guard Tours should be used in applications where the tours are required to run for a fixed duration during the day (not more than twelve hours/day). Additionally, for best results, the continuous guard tour should be used in scenes with sufficient illumination levels
