– Mount/Mounting Surface Stability

such as those caused by a
– Use the pendant arm mount, if possible. This mount option provides the most stability for the camera.
– Use guy wires to protect against strong winds if using the parapet mount.
– Field of View
– Select a location and viewing angle that allows the flow of people to move across the camera’s field of view.
– Avoid motion that moves directly towards the camera.
– Avoid locations that attract large numbers of people, such as retail stores or intersections.
– Unwanted Motion
– Use the Virtual Masking feature (see Section 7.3 Virtual Masking, page 50) to mask unwanted motion from trees or cars.
Bosch recommends that you draw the virtual mask 10% larger than the object to be masked.
– Avoid neon lights, flashing lights, night time lights, and reflected light (from a window or mirror, for example). The flickering of these lights can affect the AutoTrack operation. Use a Virtual Mask to hide these type of lights if they cannot be avoided.
– Check the virtual mask periodically to ensure that it still covers the entire object to be masked. Adjust the mask if necessary.
