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

2. Introduction

The trk-101 is a self-contained video analytic encoder that monitors the video input from a camera. The
unit provides alarms when it automatically detects specific events, such as region entrance, fence
trespassing, tripwire crossover, which trigger an automatic notification. You can define the events and
location in the video of the image that can be detected with user-customizable rules and positioning
criteria.

Figure 1: trk-101 Unit

In addition to its analytic capabilities, the unit also serves as a standard video encoder that digitizes the
input video to a standards-compliant, compressed IP video stream. It 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.

3.9 Reduced False Alarms

Firmware version 2.1.1 includes an algorithm that improves the identification of people who are standing
or moving upright in a scene. Previously, the system was designed to detect sophisticated intruders, for
example a camouflaged or crawling person. This capability is retained in this firmware. In addition, you can
enable the identification of upright people that will reduce false alarms (see below).

Note:

The following limitations apply to this function:

1. It is possible that a person who is not standing upright might not be detected

when:

 Crawling
 Walking on all four (like an animal)
 Camouflaged to look like an inanimate object (i.e., small tree)
 Running and viewed from the side
 Bent over and viewed from the side

2. The camera should not be facing straight down (i.e., it should be at a 30-40

degree angle from the object).

3. The smallest objects are 30 pixels high in the D1 video.

4. In scenes where the camera does not have good low-light sensors or thermal

sensors, detection might be reduced due to insufficient data.

To enable the identification of upright people

Select Setup > Rules. The Rules screen opens.

Installing and Connecting the Unit

17

Click the Basic tab in the Attributes area.
Click the link displayed above the Attributes area and select one of the following rules:

 Human enters region
 Human loitering
 Human crosses tripwire
 Human crosses multi-segment tripwire

Select the checkbox for Enable detection of small, crawling or slow intruders.

Note:

1. By default, this function is disabled in the above rules, meaning that the system is

identifying people standing or walking upright. Selecting Enable activates the
identification of sophisticated intruders.

2. This function is not supported for the following rules: Object left behind in region,

Vehicle stops in region, and Object removed from location.

3. For all other rules, the default setting is Enabled (identifying sophisticated intruders),

which cannot be changed.

A.6. N/O to N/C Relay Configuration

The on-board relay in the sc1dn-S provides a single contact which is by default NORMALLY OPEN (N/O),
enabling it to be configured to CLOSED upon an alarm condition. This is usually configured with a
momentary closure (for example, five seconds), followed by returning to the OPEN condition, to be ready
for the next alarm event.

Should a NORMALLY CLOSED (N/C) condition be preferred, the relay may be configured by selecting one of
the following two events in the Event Engine:

 Event 1: Triggering event = Power ON

o Action = Activate relay contact – continuous ON

 Event 2: Triggering Event = Detection Alarm (according to your configuration)

o Action 1 = Activate relay contact – continuous OFF – immediately
o Action 2 = Activate relay contact – continuous ON – after five seconds

The above conditions will turn on the relay at Power ON. An alarm will open the relay for five seconds and
close it again.

The above conditions also will create an alarm indication in case of a loss of power.

Note:

The unit must be rebooted after configuration in order for this setting to take effect.

Note:

Event 1 can also be replaced by Triggering Event = ARM. In this instance, the relay will
be OPEN until the unit is armed, at which time it will behave as described above. This
may be desirable in some deployments.
