Electrical Safety Notice and Warnings

vii

trk100/trk100d/trk200 Installation Manual

Caution:

To avoid damage from overheating or unit failure, assure that there is sufficient
temperature regulation to support the unit’s requirements (cooling/heating). Operating
temperature should be kept in the range 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F), with no more than 95%
non-condensing humidity.

Minimizing EMI and RFI

When wires run for a significant distance in an electromagnetic field, electromagnetic interference (EMI)
can occur. Strong EMI (e.g. lightning or radio transmitters) can destroy the units and can pose an electrical
hazard by conducting power through lines and into the system. Poor quality or worn wiring can result in
radio frequency interference (RFI). To minimize the effects of EMI and RFI, consult your reseller.

Site Preparation

There are several requirements that should be properly addressed prior to installation at the site. The
following specifications are requirements for proper installation and operation of the unit:

 Ambient Environment Conditions: Avoid positioning the unit near heaters or heating system

outputs. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Use proper maintenance to ensure that the unit is
free from dust, dirt, smoke, particles, chemicals, smoke, water or water condensation, and
exposure to EMI.

 Accessibility: The location used should allow easy access to unit connections and cables.
 Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety hazards,

such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Ensure that nothing rests on the unit’s
cables or power cords.

 Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the unit to allow free air circulation.
 Cabling Considerations: Units should be placed in locations that are optimal for the type of

video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external devices. Using a cable
longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal video signal may result in
degradation of color and video parameters.

 Physical Security: The unit provides threat detection for physical security systems. In order to

ensure that the unit cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should be installed with
security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-trusted parties.

 Network Security: The unit transmits over IP to security personnel for video surveillance.

Proper network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating and
free from malicious interference. The unit is intended for installation on the backbone of a
trusted network.

 Electrostatic Safeguards: The unit as well as other equipment connected to it (relay outputs,

alarm inputs, racks, carpeting, etc.) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic
discharge.

The physical installation of the unit is the first phase of making the unit operational in a security plan. The
goal is to physically place the unit, connect it to other devices in the system, and to establish network
connectivity. When finished with the physical installation, refer to the HTML Edition Units User’s Guide to
complete the second phase of installation, which is the setup and configuration of the unit.

Introduction

Figure 1: trk100/trk100d Unit

Figure 2: trk200 Unit

2 Introduction

The trk100, trk100d and trk200 units are self-contained video analytic IP encoders that monitor the video
input from a camera, providing real-time detection and autonomous tracking capabilities.

 The trk100 provides a single video channel with CIF resolution
 The trk100d provides a single video channel with 4CIF resolution
 The trk200 provides two video channels with CIF resolution

Operators can define rules, perimeter lines, sterile zones and other criteria for intrusion detection. In
addition to its analytic capabilities, the encoder also transforms the input video into a standards-compliant,
compressed IP video stream.

The unit analyzes the captured video signal, generates alarms, and notifies operators of the presence of
people, vehicles or objects. It can stop and detect events in multiple preset zones. Users can define the
events and location in the video of the image that can be detected with user-customizable rules and
positioning criteria. The camera simultaneously provides video output in two formats: analog video and
compressed digital video over IP. On-screen overlays indicate where the detection has occurred on the
video output.

Figure 3: trk100, trk100d and trk200 Unit Connectivity

For sites with Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras, once detection of a moving object has occurred, the moving
object can be tracked autonomously as the unit can guide and move a connected PTZ camera to keep the
threat centered in a magnified view. Additionally, a single PTZ camera can be configured to detect on the
camera presets, allowing it to automatically monitor large and varied areas.
