4.1 Stabilization

Surveillance cameras are susceptible to vibrations caused by wind or vibrations emanating from the medium to which the camera is attached. Cameras attached to a pole, roof, or to a bridge are especially vulnerable. Bosch offers the following recommendations to stabilize an AUTODOME camera and to decrease the affects of vibration on transmitted images, privacy masks, and Intelligent Tracking.
Pole and Mast Mounts
Use a pendant arm with the Pole Mount Adapter (VG4-A-9541).
Do not attach a parapet mount to a pole or mast.
Use a pole designed specifically for CCTV cameras:
Do not use a tapered pole. – Do not use a pole that has signs or other equipment attached.
Consult EPA rating / Wind load data to select an appropriate pole.
Roof Mounts
Mount the camera in the most stable location on the roof. – Avoid locations affected by vibrations such as those caused by a rooftop air conditioner. – Use guy wires to stabilize the AUTODOME against strong winds. – Use the LTC 9230/01 Flat Roof Mount Adapter where appropriate. This adapter is made
specifically for AUTODOME roof applications.
Extreme Mount Applications
Unique camera mounting applications that are impacted by extreme high winds, heavy traffic, or other conditions may require additional measures to stabilize the camera. Contact a manufacturer that specializes in passive vibration suppression using either damping or isolation.

4.2 Configuring and Implementing 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.

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.
