The camera height setting is the tracking target’s and camera’s height (H1: 2.5m(8.5ft)-30.0m(100.0ft)), not H2.
IMPORTANT
•
Enter the height for the camera height setting accurately. The detection and tracking capabilities are greatly reduced if the height setting is incorrect.
[Auto track alarm]
Select an alarm to be used when auto tracking from the following.
Off: An alarm is not outputted.
On(Immediate): Alarms are continuously outputted during auto tracking. (Outputs are made at 5 second intervals.)
On(After alarm wait time): Alarms are outputted only once when the auto tracking is continuously performed for a set period.
On(In preset alarm area): While tacking, if the tracking target enters the set alarm area, an alarm is outputted once. Refer to
Alarm area for information about alarm areas.
Default: Off
[Alarm wait time]
Select a setting time from the following when auto track alarm is set to “On(After alarm wait time)”.
1s/10s/30s/1min/3min/5min
Default: 10s
[Auto track data in video stream]
From the following selections select whether or not to add auto track in the video stream.
Off: Auto track data is not added to images.
On: Auto track data is added to images, but an outline of the tracking target is not displayed on the “Live” page.
On with track video display: Auto track data is added to images and an outline of the tracking target is displayed on the “Live” page.
Default: Off
Advanced setting
[Zoom with auto track]
Select the tracking zoom control from the following.
Off: Zoom control is not performed.
On(Continuous): Zoom control is performed.
Default: On(Continuous)
[Object size]
Select an object size from the following.
Small(1/4 of the image): The tracking target is enlarged to about 1/4 the size (lengthwise) of the monitor screen.
Middle(1/2 of the image): The tracking target is enlarged to about 1/2 the size (lengthwise) of the monitor screen.
Large(3/4 of the image): The tracking target is enlarged to about 3/4 the size (lengthwise) of the monitor screen.
Default: Small(1/4 of the image)
Note
•
The sizes described here are only a guide. Depending on the environment conditions and the tracking conditions the displayed size may be different from the expected size.
•
Increasing the display size of the tracking target reduces the tracking capabilities.
[Sensitivity]
Select the tracking sensitivity from the following.
High/Middle/Low
Default: Middle
Note
•
Reducing the sensitivity can help reduce false detections such as when a tree is swaying, but it will also reduce the tracking capabilities. On the other hand, increasing the sensitivity increases the tracking capabilities but also increases false detections. Match the settings according to where the camera is used.
[Auto track duration time]
Select the time that tracking will be forced to stop from after it started from the following.
Off(Unlimited)/10s/20s/30s/40s/50s/1min/2min/3min/5min/10min
Default: Off(Unlimited)
Note
•
The camera will stop in the position it is at when the auto track duration time expires. To return to auto mode, set the self return, and after tracking is finished, the self return time is counted and the camera returns to auto mode.
[Lost object search]
Select the operations to be performed when the tracking loses the target from the following.
Off: Tracking stops at the position that it lost the target.
On(w/o zoom-out): If the target is lost, tracking starts looking for new movement and if it finds movement it continues auto tracking.
On(w/zoom-out): If the target is lost, the camera zooms out and tracking starts looking for new movement, if it finds movement it continues auto tracking.
Default: On(w/zoom-out)
Procedure to setup auto track cooperation
If 2 or more SW396/SC386 cameras are used, tracking of targets can be coordinated between cameras. (Auto track cooperation setting)
For example, the procedure for getting Camera 2 (IP address: 192.168.0.12) to take over auto tracking from Camera 1 (192.168.0.11) when the tracking target enters into alarm area No.1 during auto tracking as shown below, is explained here.
1.
Set an alarm area to Camera 1 in the area where you want to perform auto track cooperation.
Display the “Auto track setting” page.
With “Auto track alarm” select “On(In preset alarm area)” and click the “Set” button.
Select 1 from the “Area No.” pull-down menu in the alarm area.
While monitoring images, perform the pan/tilt/zoom, and then set the alarm area.
Click the “Set” button.
2.
On Camera 2, configure the preset position for received notification commands. (Configure the preset position so that alarm area No. 1 enters the screen as performed in step 1.)
Select a preset number that you want set from the “Preset” pull-down menu.
While monitoring images, perform the pan/tilt/zoom, and then set the preset position.
Click the “Set” button.
3.
Set Camera 1 (IP address: 192.168.0.11) to notify commands.
From “Panasonic alarm protocol”, set “Panasonic alarm protocol” to “On” and click the “Set” button.
From “Destination of notification”, check the “Alarm” checkbox of “Address 1” (any notification destination address can be selected), and enter 192.168.0.12 in “Destination IP address”.
Set “Auto track cooperation” to “On”, and select “1” for the alarm area number.
Click the “Set” button.
4.
Configure the settings of Camera 2 (IP address: 192.168.0.12), which receives notification commands from the other cameras.
From “Alarm”, set “Command alarm” to “On” and click the “Set” button.
Set the “Command alarm” of “Camera action on alarm” to “Preset per sender”, and click “Preset per sender >>”.
Click the “Set” button.
5.
Auto track cooperation can be used by starting the auto tracking for Camera 1.
