Warning!

THE CAMERA MUST BE MOUNTED DIRECTLY AND PERMANENTLY TO A NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE.

– Do not place a canted (45°) camera upright; it can fall over easily. Place the canted

camera on its side. – Do not open the camera unit. Doing so will invalidate the warranty. Use common-sense safety precautions, especially in situations where there could be risk of injury if any part of the assembly becomes detached and falls. Bosch recommends using the hinged DCA, which allows installers to “hang” the MIC camera temporarily on the DCA to make electrical connections, before bolting the camera to the DCA. – Ensure that the unit case is properly earthed. If the product is likely to be struck by

lightning, ensure that earth bonding connections are made correctly to the mounting of

the base of the unit. – Do not manually back drive the pan or tilt axis of the camera. Doing so will damage the

motor drive gear train and will invalidate the warranty. – Before transporting, supply power to the camera and rotate the ball so that the window

points toward the base. This will help to protect the wiper and the window during transit.

Important Notices - Illumination Safety

The text in this section applies only to cameras which have the optional illuminator accessory.

Notice!

This product has been tested according to standard IEC62471:2006 “Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems”. The product emissions exceed the EXEMPT Group limit for both Retinal Blue Light and Cornea/Lens infrared hazard as defined by IEC 62471:2006. The product was found to meet the Risk Group 1 exposure limits for IR and White LEDs.

The IEC 62471 provides the methods to determine the risk group of any lamp or any product incorporating a lamp. The risk groups in IEC 62471 indicate the degree of risk from potential optical radiation hazards. The risk groups were developed based upon decades of lamp use experience and the analysis of accidental injuries related to optical radiation emission. EXEMPT Group – no optical hazard is considered reasonably foreseeable, even for continuous, unrestricted use. Typical examples are most frosted incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps used in domestic applications. Risk Group 1 – products are safe for most use applications, except for very prolonged exposures where direct ocular exposures may be expected. An example of Risk Group 1 is a domestic battery operated torch (flashlight). Exposure Hazard Value (EHV) is a ratio of the Exposure Level (distance, exposure time) to Exposure Limit Value (ELV). When EHV is greater than 1, the device has exceeded the Exposure Limit Values for a particular Risk Group. The ELV is the level where optical radiation to the eye or skin is not expected to result in adverse biological effects. The Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the source at which the Exposure Level equals the appropriate ELV. In other words, when EHV=1 for a particular Risk Group. Regarding the Cornea / Lens infrared hazard of this product, the Exposure Hazard Value (EHV) at a test distance of 200mm is 2.19 based on EXEMPT Group exposure limits. The EHV based on Risk Group 1 limits is 0.386. The HD for the Exempt Group is 297 mm. Regarding the Retinal Blue Light hazard, the EHV is 22.9 based on the EXEMPT Group exposure limits and a test distance of 200 mm. The EHV based on Risk Group 1 limits is 0.266. The HD for the Exempt Group is 2675 mm. These values have been summarized in the table below:

Mounting Location and Mounting Orientation

Select the Mounting Location

MIC cameras are designed for easy installation in various locations such as directly onto buildings and poles suitable to support CCTV equipment. Select a secure installation location and mounting position for the device. Ideally, this is a location where the device cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally. Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors, in accordance with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60). Do not install the device near: – Any heat sources – Any overhead power lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, or where the device may

contact power lines, circuits, or lights

4 Ensure that the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight

of the camera and mounting hardware (sold separately) under all expected conditions of load, vibration, and temperature.

Notice!

MIC cameras must be secured to one of the following surfaces:

- Concrete (Solid/Cast)

- Concrete Masonry Unit (Concrete Block)

- Brick (all types)

- Metal (Steel/Aluminum, minimum 1/8-in. thick)

Caution!

Risk of lightning strikes If the camera is installed in a highly exposed location where lightning strikes may occur, then Bosch recommends installing a separate lightning conductor within 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of the camera and at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) higher than the camera. A good earth bonding connection to the camera housing itself will provide protection against damage from secondary strikes. The camera housing itself is constructed to cope with secondary strikes. If the correct lightning protection is applied, then no damage to the internal electronics or camera should result.

Installation in a damp environment (for example, near a coastline)

The fasteners and fixtures shipped with the camera help to keep the camera secure. Always use Bosch-supplied screws and other fasteners when installing or performing maintenance on the camera. The camera head has three (3) plastic screws that are factory-installed to prevent corrosion in units which do not have accessories installed on the camera head. If you install a sunshield or an illuminator accessory, you will remove those screws and replace them with the screws that ship with each accessory. Before installation, inspect the metal parts of the camera for paint that is chipped or otherwise damaged. If you notice any paint damage, touch up the damage with locally available paint or sealants.

Overview of Mounting Options

Bosch sells a complete series of mounting brackets that support multiple mounting configurations. The most common type of mounting location is the top of a pole suitable to support CCTV equipment and that provides a robust mounting platform to minimize camera motion and typically has a large base cabinet for mounting ancillary equipment such as power supplies. The hinged DCA is well-suited to installations on top of a pole.

Figure 8.1: Typical hinged DCA mount configuration

The camera can also be mounted on the side of a lamp post, pole, or similar column using the Pole Mount Bracket (MIC-PMB). Be aware that lamp posts can often be subject to movement and are not suitable platforms in all conditions or for all applications.

The figure below identifies the three mounting brackets (each sold separately) that are necessary to mount the MIC camera on the side of a pole. Note: The figure identifies the part numbers, as well as the codes for the available colors (-BD for black, WD for white, and GD for grey) of each mounting bracket.

About Camera Power and Control

The camera transmits PTZ control commands and images over a TCP/IP network. It also allows users to configure the camera display settings, camera operating settings, and to configure the network parameters. The camera incorporates a network video server in the IP module. The primary function of the server is to encode video and control data for transmission over a TCP/IP network. With its H. 264 encoding, it is ideally suited for IP communication and for remote access to digital video recorders and multiplexers. The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily. Video images from a single camera can be simultaneously received on several receivers.

Power Source Options

The camera can be powered by a network compliant to High Power-over-Ethernet (Bosch’s version of High PoE) using a Bosch model of High PoE Midspans (sold separately). With this configuration, only a single (Cat5e/Cat6) cable connection is required to view, to power, and to control the camera. The camera can also accept a standard 24 VAC power source if a High PoE network interface will not be used. User-supplied wiring must be in compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels). For maximum reliability, the camera can be connected simultaneously to a High PoE Midspan and a separate 24 VAC power source. If High PoE and 24 VAC are applied simultaneously, the camera usually selects auxiliary input (24 VAC) and will draw minimal power from the High PoE Midspan. If the 24 VAC power source fails, the camera switches power input seamlessly to High PoE. After the 24 VAC power source is restored, the camera switches power input again to 24 VAC. If connected to both power sources, the camera will operate at 24 VAC if High PoE is not available.

Warning! Bosch’s version of High PoE, or PoE+:

If supplying power to the camera by PoE or a midspan device, you must install additional surge protection.

NOTE: Screenshots of configuration settings in this manual are from a MIC 7130 model.

Because of firmware or software updates, the screenshots may differ slightly from the configuration settings screens in your system. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this manual is accurate and current.

About the SETTINGS Page

The SETTINGS page provides access to the configuration menu, which contains all the unit's parameters arranged in groups. You can view the current settings by opening one of the configuration screens. You can change the settings by entering new values or by selecting a predefined value from a list field. There are two options for configuring the unit or checking the current settings: – Basic mode – Advanced mode In Basic Mode, the most important parameters are arranged in seven groups. This allows you to change the basic settings with just a few entries and then put the device into operation. Advanced Mode is recommended for expert users or system support personnel. You can access all unit parameters in this mode. Settings that affect the fundamental functionality of the unit (such as firmware updates) can only be altered in the advanced mode.

Caution!

The settings in the Advanced Mode should only be processed or modified by expert users or system support personnel.

All settings are backed up in camera memory so they are not lost even if the power fails. The exception is the time settings, which are lost after 1 hour without power if no central time server is selected.

Starting Configuration

4 Click the SETTINGS link in the upper section of the window. The Web browser opens a

new page with the configuration menu.

Navigation

1. Click one of the menu items in the left window margin. The corresponding submenu is displayed.

2. Click one of the entries in the submenu. The web browser opens the corresponding page.

Making Changes

Each configuration screen shows the current settings. You can change the settings by entering new values or by selecting a predefined value from a list field. Not every page has a Set button. Changes to pages without a Set button are set immediately. If a page does show a Set button, you must click the Set button for a change to take effect.

Caution!

Save each change with the associated Set button. Clicking the Set button saves the settings only in the current field. Changes in any other fields are ignored.

Basic Mode: Device Access

Camera name

You can give the camera a name to make it easier to identify. The name makes the task of administering multiple units in larger video monitoring systems easier, for example using the Bosch Video Management Systems programs. The device name is used for the remote identification of a unit, in the event of an alarm for example. For this reason, enter a name that makes it as easy as possible to quickly identify the location.

Caution!

Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name. Special characters are not supported by the system's internal recording management and may therefore result in the Player or Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.

Password

The camera is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to the unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access. The camera operates with three authorization levels: service, user and live. The highest authorization level is service. After entering the correct password, you can access all the functions of the camera and change all configuration settings. With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and also control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the configuration. The lowest authorization level is live. It can only be used to view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays. You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as service or if the unit is not password protected. Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here. Note: Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. If a live password is assigned, for example, a service and a user password must also be set. When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.

Confirm password

In each case, enter the new password a second time to eliminate typing mistakes.

Notice! A new password is only saved when you click the Set button. You should therefore click the Set button immediately after entering and confirming a password.

Basic Mode: Date/Time

Device date/Device time/Device time zone

If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is important to synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only possible to identify and correctly evaluate simultaneous recordings when all units are operating on the same time. If necessary, you can synchronize the unit with your computer's system settings.

4 Click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system time to the camera.

Time server IP address

The camera can receive the time signal from a time server using various time server protocols, and then use it to set the internal clock. The unit polls the time signal automatically once every minute. 4 Enter the IP address of a time server here.

Time server type

Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. Preferably, you should select the SNTP server as the protocol. This supports a high level of accuracy and is required for special applications and subsequent function extensions. Select Time server for a time server that works with the protocol RFC 868.

Basic Mode: Network

The settings on this page are used to integrate the camera into an existing network. Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this case, the Set button changes to Set and Reboot.

1. Make the desired changes.

2. Click the Set and Reboot button. The camera reboots and the changed settings are activated.

Note: If you change the IP address, subnet mask or gateway address, the camera is only available under the new addresses after the reboot.

DHCP

If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the camera. Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management Systems, Archive Player, Configuration Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is retained each time the system is rebooted.

IP address

Enter the desired IP address for camera in this field. The IP address must be valid for the network.

Subnet mask

Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.

Gateway address

If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet, enter the IP address of the gateway here. Otherwise leave the box as 0.0.0.0.

Pre-programmed profiles are available, each giving priority to different perspectives. You can change individual parameter values of a profile and you can also change the name. You can switch between profiles by clicking the appropriate tabs. Note: In the default setting, Stream 1 is transmitted for alarm connections and automatic connections.

Notice!

All parameters combine to make up a profile and are dependent on one another. If you enter a setting that is outside the permitted range for a particular parameter, the nearest permitted value will be substituted when the settings are saved.

If required, enter a new name for the profile.

Target bit rate

To optimize use of the bandwidth in the network, limit the data rate for the device. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion. For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent movements, this limit can temporarily be exceeded up to the value entered in the Maximum bit rate field.

Maximum bit rate

This maximum bit rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the I- and P-frames, this fact can result in individual images being skipped. The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the Target bit

rate field. If the value entered here is too low, it will be adjusted automatically.

Encoding interval

This parameter determines the interval at which images are encoded and transmitted. For example, entering or selecting 4 means that only every fourth image is encoded, while the following there are skipped, which can be particularly advantageous for networks with low bandwidths. The image rate in (images per second (ips) appears next to the text field or slider.

Video resolution

Select the desired resolution for the video image.

Expert settings

If necessary, use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality and the P-frame quality to specific requirements. The setting is based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).

GOP structure

Select the structure that you require for the group of pictures, depending on whether you place greater priority on having the lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using as little bandwidth as possible. Options are IP, IBP, and IBBP.

I-frame distance

This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be coded. Auto means auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames as necessary. Values range from 3 to 60. An entry of 3 indicates that I-frames are continuously generated. An entry of 4 indicates that only every fourth image is an I-frame, and so on; the frames in between are coded as P-frames. Note that the values supported depend on the GOP structure setting. For example, only even values are supported with IBP; if you have selected IBBP, only 3 or multiples of 3 are supported.

Min. P-frame QP

This parameter allows you to adjust the image quality of the P-frame and to define the lower limit for the quantization of the P-frames, and thus the maximum achievable quality of the Pframes. In the H.264-protocol, the Quantization Parameter (QP) specifies the degree of

critical.

compression and thus the image quality for every frame. The lower the quantization of the Pframe (QP value), the higher the encoding quality (and thus the best image quality) and the lower the frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate under network settings. A higher quantization value results in low image quality and lower network load. Typical QP values are between 18 and 30. The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video quality.

I/P-frame delta QP

This parameter sets the ratio of the I-frame quantization (QP) to the P-frame quantization (QP). For example, you can set a lower value for I-frames by moving the slide control to a negative value. Thus, the quality of the I-frames relative to the P-frames is improved. The total data load will increase, but only by the portion of I-frames. The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts to the optimum combination of movement and image definition (focus). To obtain the highest quality at the lowest bandwidth, even in the case of increased movement in the picture, configure the quality settings as follows:

1. Observe the coverage area during normal movement in the preview images.

2. Set the value for Min. P-frame QP to the highest value at which the image quality still meets your needs.

3. Set the value for I/P-frame delta QP to the lowest possible value. This is how to save bandwidth and memory in normal scenes. The image quality is retained even in the case of increased movement since the bandwidth is then filled up to the value that is entered under Maximum bit rate.

Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless this was explicitly excluded. Depending on the analysis type selected and the relevant configuration, additional information overlays the video image in the preview window next to the parameter settings. Options are: MOTION+, IVA 5.6, IVA 5.6 Flow. With the MOTION+ analysis type, for example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded will be marked with rectangles.

Notice!

On the LIVE Functions page, you can also enable additional information overlays for the LIVE page (see LIVE Functions, page 50).

Motion detector (MOTION+ only)

For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met: – Analysis must be activated. – At least one sensor field must be activated. – The individual parameters must be configured to suit the operating environment and the

desired responses.

– The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.

Caution!

Reflections of light (off glass surfaces, etc.), switching lights on or off or changes in the light level caused by cloud movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended. For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.

Sensitivity (MOTION+ only)

The basic sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Minimum object size (MOTION+ only)

You can specify the number of sensor fields that a moving object must cover to generate an alarm. This is to prevent objects that are too small from triggering an alarm. A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor fields.

Debounce time 1 s (MOTION+ only)

The debounce time is intended to prevent very brief alarm events from triggering individual alarms. If the Debounce time 1 s option is activated, an alarm event must last at least one second to trigger an alarm.

Select Area (MOTION+ only)

The areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector can be selected. The video image is subdivided into 858 square fields. Each of these fields can be activated or deactivated individually. If you wish to exclude particular regions of the camera's field of view from monitoring due to continuous movement (by a tree in the wind, etc.), the relevant fields can be deactivated. 4 Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new window will open.

Tamper detection

You can reveal the tampering of cameras and video cables by means of various options. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.

Notice!

The options for tamper detection can only be set for fixed cameras. Dome cameras or other motorized cameras cannot be protected in this manner as the movement of the camera itself causes changes in the video image that are too great.

Sensitivity

Notice!

This and the following parameter are only accessible if the reference check is activated.

MIC IP starlight 7000 HD, MIC IP

dynamic 7000 HD

The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The algorithm reacts to the differences between the reference image and the current video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Trigger delay (s)

You can set delayed alarm triggering. The alarm is only triggered after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not triggered. This allows you to avoid false alarms triggered by short-term changes, for example cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera.

Global change

You can set how large the global change in the video image must be for an alarm to be triggered. This setting is independent of the sensor fields selected under Select Area. Set a high value if fewer sensor fields need to change to trigger an alarm. With a low value, it is necessary for changes to occur simultaneously in a large number of sensor fields to trigger an alarm. This option allows you to detect, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for instance.

Global change

Activate this function if the global change, as set with the Global change slide control, should trigger an alarm.

Scene too bright

Activate this function if tampering associated with exposure to extreme light (for instance, shining a flashlight directly on the lens) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too dark

Activate this function if tampering associated with covering the lens (for instance, by spraying paint on it) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

MIC IP starlight 7000 HD, MIC IP dynamic 7000 HD

Scene too noisy

Activate this function if tampering associated with EMC interference (noisy scene as the result of a strong interference signal in the vicinity of the video lines), as an example, should trigger an alarm.

Reference Check

You can save a reference image that is continuously compared with the current video image. If the current video image in the marked areas differs from the reference image, an alarm is triggered. This allows you to detect tampering that would otherwise not be detected, for example if the camera is turned.

1. Click Reference to save the currently visible video image as a reference.

2. Click Select Area and select the areas in the reference image that are to be monitored.

3. Check the box Reference check to activate on-going matching. The stored reference image is displayed in black and white below the current video image, and the selected areas are marked in yellow.

4. Select the Disappearing edges or Appearing edges option to specify the reference check once again.

Disappearing edges

The area selected in the reference image should contain a prominent structure. If this structure is concealed or moved, the reference check triggers an alarm. If the selected area is too homogenous, so that concealing and moving the structure would not trigger an alarm, then an alarm is triggered immediately to indicate the inadequate reference image.

Appearing edges

Select this option if the selected area of the reference image includes a largely homogenous surface. If structures appear in this area, then an alarm is triggered.

Select Area

You can select the image areas in the reference image that are to be monitored. The video image is subdivided into 858 square fields. Each of these fields can be activated or deactivated individually.

Alarm Rules

An alarm rule can define which input(s) activate which output(s). Basically, an alarm rule allows you to customize the camera to respond automatically to different alarm inputs. To configure an alarm rule specify one input from a physical connection, a motion detection trigger, or from a connection to the camera’s LIVE page. The physical input connection can be activated by dry contact devices such as pressure pads, door contacts, and similar devices. Next, specify up to two (2) rule outputs, or the camera’s response to the input. Outputs include a physical alarm output, an AUX command, or a preposition scene.

1. Click the Enabled check box to activate the alarm.

2. Choose one of the following alarm Inputs: Local Input 1: a physical alarm connection.

Local Input 2: a physical alarm connection. IVA/MOTION+: an alarm when IVA or motion detection is activated. Connection: an alarm when an attempt is made to access the camera’s IP address.

3. Choose one of the following output commands for both Output 1 and Output 2 settings:

None: no defined command. Alarm Output: defines a physical connection from the open collector alarm output. Aux On: defines a standard or custom keyboard ON command. Aux Off: defines a standard or custom keyboard OFF command. Shot: defines a preset scene from shot 1-256.4.Click Set to save and to activate the alarm rules. (Refer to the User Command Table for a list of all AUX commands.) Note for MIC7000 cameras only: Alarm Output is available only when the Application Variant field in the Application Variant, page 52 is set to “ -IO,” and the camera is connected to a MIC-ALM-WAS-24 or to an NPD-PSUHPOE.

Quality of service

The camera offers Quality of Service (QoS) configuration options to ensure fast network response to PTZ data and images. Quality of Service (QoS) is the set of techniques to manage network resources. QoS manages the delay, delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet loss parameters to guarantee the ability of a network to deliver predictable results. QoS identifies the type of data in a data packet and divides the packets into traffic classes that can be prioritized for forwarding. Consult with your network administrator for assistance configuring the Audio, Video, Control, and the Alarm video settings, and to select the appropriate Post-alarm time.

Multicast

In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (unicast), the camera can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an encoder simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and then distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a single data stream to the network, where the data stream is simultaneously distributed to multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast). You can enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. You can switch between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.

Notice!

Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the UDP and the Internet Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.

A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Operation Manual 2014.05 | 1.0 | F.01U.291.520

The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However, it will be necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously using the same port and multicast address.

Notice!

The settings must be made individually for each stream.

MIC IP starlight 7000 HD, MIC IP

With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the relevant stream operates in multi-unicast mode (copying of data streams in the unit). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to five simultaneously connected receivers.

Notice!

Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the unit and can lead to impairment of the image quality under certain circumstances.

Port

Assign a different port to each data stream if there are simultaneous data streams at the same multicast address. Enter the port address of the required stream here.

Streaming

Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for the relevant stream. An enabled stream is indicated by a check mark.

Using Intelligent Tracking

Configuring Intelligent Tracking

The camera utilizes the built-in Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) to continuously follow an individual or object even if it passes behind a Privacy Mask or a stationary object. The camera uses objects detected by IVA in a stationary preset position to activate the Intelligent Tracking feature. The Intelligent Tracking feature allows continuous on-screen following of an individual or an object. This feature operates by recognizing an object in motion and zooms in to approximately 50% (default Tracker zoom threshold) of the field of view for an average target height of six feet. This feature controls the pan/tilt/zoom actions of the camera to keep the selected object in the scene.

To activate the Intelligent Tracking feature, one of the following conditions must be met: – The Silent IVA option must be selected in the VCA page on the Settings tab. Refer to VCA,

page 71.

– IVA must be active for at least one preset scene in the VCA page on the Settings tab. If

IVA is configured for one scene, then all other scenes have Intelligent Tracking enabled by default. If a scene has Motion+ of IVA Flow activated, however, then Intelligent Tracking is disabled for these scenes.

Notice!

The following actions occur if Intelligent Tracking is active: All other IVA objects are disabled in scenes with Intelligent Tracking. The camera automatically disables the display of compass headings. Once Intelligent Tracking is set to Off, the camera resumes display of the compass heading. Refer to PTZ Settings, page 61 for details of the Compass feature.

Guidelines for Implementing Intelligent Tracking

Factors such as the viewing angle and unwanted motion (from trees, for example) may interfere with Intelligent Tracking operation. Use the following recommendations to ensure smooth Intelligent Tracking operation: – Mount/Mounting Surface Stability

– Mount the camera in the most stable position. Avoid locations affected by vibrations,

such as those caused by a roof-top air conditioner. These vibrations may cause complications when the camera zooms-in on a target.

– 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. Intelligent Tracking is optimized for scenes with very few moving

objects.

– Unwanted Motion

– 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

Intelligent Tracking operation. – Avoid motion from moving leaves/branches that present a persistent fixed motion.

Operation of Intelligent Tracking

The Intelligent Tracking feature behaves in one of the following ways: – Camera detects an object in motion and automatically tracks the object

User actions always take precedence over Intelligent Tracking. If the camera is actively tracking an object and a user takes control, the camera will attempt to track the object after a period of inactivity.

– An IVA alarm can trigger Intelligent Tracking to track a detected object

A rule that triggers an IVA event must be set. The following standard tasks can be set: Object in field, Crossing Line, Loitering, Condition change, Following route, Entering field, and Leaving field. Refer to the IVA 5.60 Operation Manual for specific information.

– A user manually selects an object in the live image area to track

The Intelligent Tracking feature allows a user to click a moving object in the live image display inside the LIVE page to identify an object to track.

– Use AUX Command 78 to activate/deactivate Intelligent Tracking

Use AUX ON 78 to enable the Intelligent Tracking Auto mode. This command can be used in conjunction with the rules engine.

Using Intelligent Tracking Use the following options on the LIVE page to control Intelligent Tracking: Note: If you do not see these controls on the LIVE page, ensure that the Show ‘Tracking’

option is enabled on the LIVE Functions page. Refer to LIVE Functions, page 50.

– Off: Disables Intelligent Tracking.

– Auto: In this mode, the camera actively analyzes the video to detect any moving object. If

it detects movement, the camera begins to track the moving object. This mode is most useful for scenarios where no motion is expected in the scene.

– Click: In this mode, users can click an object moving in the live video image to enable the

camera to track the movement of the selected object. This mode is most useful for

scenarios where normal scene activity is expected. If the Intelligent Tracking feature is set to Auto or Click, the live video image displays an eye icon with a symbol that conveys the state of Intelligent Tracking activity:

Operation | en 99

Graphic Description Explanation

White eye, flashing Intelligent Tracking is actively following a

target.

Gray eye with a red “X” 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.

Gray eye without a symbol Intelligent Tracking is idle, waiting to track a

target.

Gray eye with a “pause” symbol

Intelligent Tracking attempts to track a target passively while a user has camera control.

Tracking triggered by IVA rules

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 5.60 Operation Manual for specific information.

If the Show VCA metadata option is selected in LIVE Functions (from the SETTINGS page, select Advanced Mode > Web Interface > LIVE Functions), the live view will show the following metadata objects in the LIVE page view: – Objects in motion are initially identified in the video. – Actively tracked object in motion are identified in the video. – When an object in motion is lost, a 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.

Recommended Use of Your MIC 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 your camera, 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 (50 lux or better), should be at least 60 seconds in duration, and should have a smooth pan/ tilt path (without erratic stops and starts), with the lens set at a wide angle (infinity focus). The tour should also include at least 10° of tilt movement.

Preset Tours

For scenarios that require the camera to be in continuous motion for most of the day, Bosch recommends that you set the camera in Preset Tour mode, moving between a desired set of presets. For best results, always ensure that each preset has a dwell time of at least 5 seconds.

2. Scene Illumination and Focus Settings

Your camera uses a high-sensitivity image sensor and a high-quality lens with a precise drive train control to maintain the best focus of the image. The Autofocus mechanism tries continuously to make the image details appear sharp. Under low light and low contrast scenarios, the Autofocus algorithm may not be able to find the correct focus points because of the lack of detail in the scene. In this case, it will keep driving the focus motor to find the best focus. If this state continues for long, the focus mechanism of your camera could be damaged beyond repair. For best results, maintain the scene illumination (visible light and/or IR illumination) to a level that allows the camera to easily resolve the details in the scene. The illumination requirements are site-specific and should be verified during camera installation and configuration. For best camera performance, the scene should have at least 50 lux of illumination. For scenes where sufficient lux level cannot be maintained, the camera should be used with One Push (“Spot Focus”), and you should avoid using continuous Guard Tours.

3. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)

Use only approved High PoE devices – those that Bosch recommends, or those that Bosch offers, such as a High PoE Midspan midspan or the VIDEOJET connect power supply - between the camera and your PoE network. Improper network connection can result in intermittent camera reboots. If the camera reboots frequently, test your camera with another power supply.
