Video Quality Caution

Frame Rate Notice Regarding User Selected Options

Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by either

C6652M | 06/20

Sarix Enhanced3 Operations Manual, Dome, Bullet, and BoxCameras

lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second, which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event not being recorded by the system. Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users' purposes is solely the users' responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Accessing the Camera

Note: For security purposes, it is required that you create a user account when you access the

camera for the first time.In its out-of-the-box configuration, the camera has no user name and password assigned. In this state the camera does not allow for video to stream or configurations to change. It is required that you set an administrative user name and password at this time. Creation of an administrative user changes the state of the camera to its “operational mode,” where credentials must be provided in order to view live video or change its configuration. This first user configuration can also be done in VxToolbox software.

There is no provision for recovering a forgotten administrator user name or password. The camera can be restored to its out-of-the-box, no user name and password configuration by powering down, depressing the Factory Defaults button, and holding the button down for at least four seconds while powering the camera back up.

Once the camera is powered back up the user will be prompted to create a username and password.

Go to System >Storage Management to access and/or manage Device Information, Settings and Actions, Local Recording, and Export Recordings.

C6652M | 06/20

Sarix Enhanced3 Operations Manual, Dome, Bullet, and BoxCameras

Note: For choosing SD cards, it is important to pick SD cards suited to surveillance video

recording for use in Pelco cameras. These are available from reputable brands and are purposely designed to be used for the challenges of surveillance where high resolution, high frame rate video is recorded 24/7, often in elevated temperature conditions. The SD cards aimed at this application are designed to support the high write and read speeds video surveillance demands, have adequate write cyclability, and can withstand internal temperatures in the camera when placed in harsh environments.

Look for SD cards designed for industrial video surveillance applications with high MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) and good warranties with operating temperature ratings in excess of 80°C (176°F). For Cameras with resolutions up to 5 MP use cards with speed ratings of Class 10 UHS I or better. For 4K cameras, use cards with speed ratings of UHS 3 VHS30 or better.

Use a large enough capacity card that rarely needs to be replaced. A 128 GB card in a 2 MP camera recorded continuously at 30 FPS with a typical bit rate of 5 Mb/s under average environmental conditions should last close to 5 years before it needs to be replaced. Using motion recording, Smart Compression, and more advanced encoding schemes like H.265 will increase this substantially. SD cards for video surveillance today are available in capacities up to 1 TB, so you can pick SD cards that last the life of the camera.

Viewing Device Information

Device Information provides information for the SD card. The following information will be displayed when an SD Card is properly installed:

l Device Type: SD Card

l Free Space: Expressed in MB

l Total Size: Expressed in MB

l Status: Ready to begin recording

Note: If there is no SD card in the camera or it was not properly installed, the Status will display "There is no media in the SD card."

Using Settings andActions

l Device Format: displays the device format with the option to reformat the device.

l SD Allocation: Use the slider bar to establish how much storage to allocate between Edge and

Clip storage.

Configuring Local Recording

The number of hours of video you can store on the micro SD card depends on several factors besides the capacity of the micro SD card.

There is, however, a limit on the total number of frames that can be stored on the micro SD card. For example, below a bit rate of 1.5 Mbps, you can store a maximum of 48 hours of video at 30 fps on a 32 GB card. You can increase the maximum available hours of storage by decreasing the frame rate.

The number of hours of video you can store on the SD card is established with recording bit limits. A bit rate limit below 1.5 Mbps allows a maximum of 48 hours of video at 30 fps regardless of resolution. You can increase the maximum available hours of storage by decreasing the frame rate.

Note: The numbers listed above do not include audio. With audio enabled, the number of hours you can record decreases. The impact is minimal above bit rates of 2.25 Mbps. At bit rates below 2.25 Mbps, the number of hours your can record may drop by approximately 40 percent.

C6652M | 06/20

Using the Network & Security Menu

The Network & Security menu contains Network configuration Settings and options for your camera; from this menu, you can set static IP addressing, create User & Security levels, enable TLS, add Traffic Shaping, configure 802.1x port security, point your camera to an SNMP manager, and configure Firewall settings. By default, your camera receives an address over DHCP and all other network features are disabled.

Changing General Network Settings

Go to Network & Security > Network to configure a Network Hostname, Port Settings, and Network

Interface.

Network Hostname

You can configure a hostname for your camera containing up to 63 alphanumeric characters. At least one character in the host name must be a letter.

Port Settings

Port settings determine the ports over which users communicate with the camera.

HTTP: Do not change the HTTP when connecting to a Pelco video management system (VMS); doing so might prevent you from viewing or recording video from your imaging camera. The default HTTP port is 80.

HTTPS: Set SSL to Optional or Required and install a security certificate before altering the HTTPS port. The default HTTPS port is 443.

RTSP: Cameras communicate with video management systems over RTSP. Do not change the RTSP port unless you are sure your VMS does not use the default setting. The default RTSP port is 554.

Link Settings

When using the camera with VideoXpert, use the 100 Mb mode to ensure clients can playback video at high framerates. Link speed information is provided per the hardware address. Auto-Negotiate is the default setting for configuring the camera throughput speed automatically. Selecting 100 Mb ensures the throughput speed to 100 Mb.

IPv4 Settings

By default, cameras are configured to obtain network settings over DHCP. If a DHCP server is not available, the camera defaults to an address of 192.168.0.20 on a 255.255.255 subnet. If 192.168.0.20 is already in use on the network, the camera will increment the address by one until it finds an unused address (for example,192.168.0.21 if 192.168.0.20 is in use).

Set DHCP to Off to configure a static address and manually set the subnet mask, gateway, and DNS Server settings.

IPv6 Settings

(Optional): Your camera supports IPv6 configurations in conjunction with IPv4; the device does not support IPv6-only network deployments. The camera will accept up to sixteen IPv6 addresses, three IPv6 DNS servers, and three IPv6 gateways.

There are two configuration modes for IPv6 address assignment:

l Auto: Enables automatic configuration using router advertisement. Additional configuration can be

provided over DHCPv6 (if available on your network). Selecting Auto still allows you to manually

C6652M | 06/20

Sarix Enhanced3 Operations Manual, Dome, Bullet, and BoxCameras

configure additional address, DNS servers, and gateways.

l Manual Only: Provides a link-local address for the device, and it requires you to manually configure

all other IPv6 address settings for the camera. Manually specified addresses require a prefix and must be input in the format prefix/IPv6Address. The camera will reject addresses that do not contain prefix information.

Note:

– Cameras do not accept multicast, localhost, or undefined IPv6 addresses.

– Manually specified DNS servers are not validated by the camera and supersede

automatically discovered DNS servers; verify your DNS addresses before saving IPv6 settings.

– Manually specified gateways must be on the same network as the camera’s IPv6 addresses.

Behavior for a gateway that is not on the same network as the camera’s IPv6 addresses is undefined.

– Some video management systems (VMS), including some Pelco systems, do not support

connections to cameras and encoders over IPv6.

C6652M | 06/20

Managing Users and Security

To manage user accounts and establish how your camera authenticates users (locally or remotely) go to

Network & Security > Users & Security. This gives you the options for User Management and Security

authentication.

User Management

Initially, the camera authentication is closed for viewing and configuring without a user name and password. No user accounts exist in the default factory state. Once the Admin role is created and Local Mode User Management is enabled, your camera will authenticate local user accounts.

User permissions are governed by the role assigned to a user. When authenticating users locally, you will assign a role to each individual user. When authenticating users remotely, users will be assigned roles based on their CN and DN assignments.

Your camera supports the following four roles:

l Admins: Can access and change all camera settings. They can use all functionality of the camera.

They can configure, edit, and delete local user accounts at any time.

l Managers: Can access and change all settings, except user permissions. Managers are also

unable to restore factory default settings.

l Operators: Can view video and have access to the Live View page controls.

l Viewers: Can view video.

Configuring Users

1. Go to Network & Security > Users & Security.

2. Select New User or select the user whose permissions and settings you want to edit.

3. Select an Access Level for the user.

4. Provide a user name between 2 and 32 alphanumeric characters for the user. User names are not case-sensitive and are saved in lowercase characters.

5. Provide a password between 4 and 64 alphanumeric characters for the user. Passwords are casesensitive.

6. Re-type your password in the appropriate box to confirm your password.

7. Select Save.

Setting Security/Authentication

Security settings for the Pelco API and RTSP/JPEG include a choice of Open Authentication or Closed/Require Authentication:

l Pelco API: Changes whether credentials are required when accessing the device via the Pelco

API. The Open Authentication setting leaves your camera open to various intrusions and is not recommended.

l RTSP/JPEG: Changes whether credentials are required when streaming video via RTSP or JPEG

pull. The Open Authentication setting leaves your camera open to various intrusions and is not recommended.

A user must be created before the security settings can be changed.

Configuring TLS

Go to Network & Security > TLS to configure TLS.

C6652M | 06/20

Sarix Enhanced3 Operations Manual, Dome, Bullet, and BoxCameras

Set TLS to either disabled, optional, or required. You must install or generate a certificate before enabling HTTPS.

The TLS settings include TLS configuration modes and certificate generation. The camera can generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign®), or it can generate a self-signed certificate using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.

l Disabled: Disables HTTPS communications with the device.

l Optional: Requires that you install a signed TLS certificate and enables HTTPS access to the

device; however, the device will still be available over HTTP.

l Required: Requires that you install a signed TLS certificate and enables HTTPS access to the

device.

Configuring Traffic Shaping

Your camera can produce large I-frames, resulting in a traffic burst within each group of pictures as the camera transmits the frame; if your network infrastructure does not have the speed or buffering capacity to smooth out the traffic, you might experience slow or jittery video. Use this function if the frame rate at your client is significantly lower than you would expect from the camera.

1. Go to Network & Security > Traffic Shaping.

1. Enable Traffic Shaping with or without bursts, depending on your need.

l Disabled: Camera will send data at full network hardware link speed (For example: 100 Mbps

or 1 Gbps).

l Enabled: Camera will limit the rate at which it sends data. In this setting, the “averaging period”

(the period over which the rate limit is valid) is 1 ms. The rate limit for this setting is 12.5 Mbps < R < 100 Mbps.

l Enabled with Bursts: This advanced setting allows you to specify the maximum burst size

that the camera can send at the hardware link speed. This balances video latency with the transmission rate.

2. Set the average transmission rate over a 1 ms period over Mbps when enabled without bursts or a 2 ms period in Mbps when enabled with bursts.

3. If you enabled traffic shaping with bursts, set the maximum size of bursts coming from the camera in kilobytes.

4. Select Save.

Compression Standards: Available compression standards depend upon the model of the camera that

you are using.

l H.265: Designed to boost video streaming. A compression standard designed to substantially

improve coding efficiency.

l MJPEG: Has the least impact on the camera’s processor but requires the most bandwidth. This is

similar to JPEG (not available on this camera), but uses RTP.

l H.264: The most processor-intensive compression standard but requires the least amount of

bandwidth. Standard compression format for increased efficiency.

Resolution: The quality of the video stream, rendered in pixels for both width and height. Higher values

result in greater video quality but consume more bandwidth.

Image Rate: The number of frames per second (fps) available for the video stream configuration. Available

image rates depend upon the model of the camera that you are using.

C6652M | 06/20

Sarix Enhanced3 Operations Manual, Dome, Bullet, and BoxCameras

Bit Rate: The quality of the video stream, rendered in kilobits per second. Higher values result in greater

video quality but consume more bandwidth.

Note: When you change video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the

bit rate. Choosing a bit rate below the camera’s automatic setting might reduce video quality and limit stream configuration options.

I-Frame Interval: Determines the number of partial frames that occur between intra-coded frames (I-

frames) in your video stream. I-frames are complete images, used as a reference for change in the following video frames. Following an I-frame, the camera will capture and encode only video data in the scene differing from the I-frame until the next I-frame.

Note:This setting is only available for H.264 and H.265 video streams. Increasing the I-frame

interval can improve video compression rates and reduce the size of video data; however, higher values are recommended only for highly-reliable networks.

Profile: Defines the subset of bit stream features in an H.264 or H.265 stream, which includes color

reproduction and additional video compression. It is important you select a profile that is compatible with your recording device(s) to ensure that your camera’s video stream can be decoded and viewed.

l Main: An intermediate profile with a moderate compression ratio. This profile is compatible with

most recorders and uses fewer bits to compress video than the baseline profile, but more bits than the high profile. The main profile supports I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames.

l High: A complex profile with a high compression ration. This is the primary profile for high-definition

television applications. The high profile supports I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames.

Quality of Service (QoS) for Different Services Code Point (DSCP): A mechanism for prioritizing

network traffic. This setting is available only with H.264 and H.265 compression standards. Your network must be QoS-aware to take advantage of this setting. If you are unsure if your network is QoS-aware, contact your network administrator.

Endura Signing: Allows an Endura® system to authenticate recorded video streams. Endura signing is a

technology designed to prevent the tampering of video and ensure video authenticity for use in legal proceedings. Only exported video is validated in the Pelco export player when the user selects the checkbox. Live View is not validated. This setting is available with H.264, H.265, and MPEG-4 compression standards.

Rate Control: Determines the bit rate and quality of each frame in the H.264 or H.265 video stream. Each rate control setting is a compromise between image quality and the resources required for video storage. The availability of rate control settings depend upon the model of the camera that you are using.

l CBR: The constand bit rate (CBR) streams video at fixed number of bits per second. CBR uses the

full capacity of the bit rate setting for scenes with or without motion. Video is always streamed at the user bit rate setting.

l CVBR: The constrained variable bit rate (CVBR) provides high-quality video and long recording time

of variable bit rate in response to motion, while not exceeding the user-defined maximum bit rate over a period of several GoPs.

Note: When you change video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the

bit rate. Choosing a bit rate below the camera’s automatic setting might reduce video quality and limit stream configuration options.

Configuring Audio

Not all camera models are equipped with an internal audio device. If your camera does not support audio natively, you must connect an audio device to the accessory port to capture audio. You can only enable

Analytic Configuration

The Analytic Configuration page allows you to analyze the camera’s field of view to detect and trigger events or alarms when specific activity occurs.

Multiple analytic behaviors can be configured (Go to Events > Analytic Configuration). However the complexity of active behaviors and zones per behavior may increase the processing load on your camera. Once configured, your camera will monitor your defined zones for activity violating the parameters of the behavior. You can view analytic events through your camera’s event stream (Go to Events > Event

Streams). However, analytic alarms are only transmitted through Pelco’s API, and are therefore only

available with compatible VMS systems or through direct integration.

You can configure multiple analytic behaviors. Each analytic behavior has its own settings, and many analytic behaviors also require you to configure zones that the camera will monitor for activity. The analytic behaviors available to your camera are dependent on your model and firmware version.

Configuring Basic Analytics

Basic contains simple motion detection and camera sabotage capabilities. Simple analytics allow the camera to record or send an alarm when there is motion detected in a selected zone or within the entire scene. A camera sabotage alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed or when the camera is repositioned.

Configuring Motion Detection

1. Check Enabled.

2. Enter an Event logging (profile) name.

3. Establish an alarm priority by selecting Alarm Severity of Minor, Normal, Major, or Critical.

C6652M | 06/20

Sarix Enhanced3 Operations Manual, Dome, Bullet, and BoxCameras

4. Choose a Sensitivity level of Low, Medium, or High to establish what amount of change in motion within the camera's field view that triggers a handler behavior.

5. Use the slider bar or text input box to set the Threshold % in how much motion needs to occur in order to trigger the alarm.

Configuring Edit Mask Mode

Motion Detection requires a mask to be drawn to indicate where the camera should look for motion. Use the Edit Mask controls to setup the mask.

1. Select the Edit Mask mode option to Draw or Erase sections of the mask.

2. Select a Rectangle or Paintbrush (line) drawing Tool.

3. Use the mouse cursor to Draw the mask or Erase sections of the mask.

l Revert back to a previous state by selecting Undo.

l Selecting Redo will reverse the Undo action.

4. Select Save.

Configuring Sabotage Detection

1. Check Enabled.

2. Establish the sensitivity to motion that will trigger a handler behavior by choosing from Low,

Medium, or High.

3. Enter an Event logging (profile) name.

4. Establish an alarm priority by selecting Alarm Severity of Minor, Normal, Major, or Critical.

5. Select Save.

Configuring Enhanced Analytics

To configure the scene settings:

1. Select a Scene Type of indoor or outdoor.

2. Choose a Still or Noisy background based on the expected amount of background movement in the scene. A stable background with few moving objects should be set to Still. A busy background, with many moving objects should be set to Noisy.

3. Use the Fine tuning option to define zone violation sensitivity. Available settings include

Conservative, Normal, or Aggressive. The Conservative setting is the least sensitive setting,

reducing the number of false alarms, but might prevent the camera from detecting zone violations. The Aggressive setting is the most sensitive setting, detecting all suspect violations, but might cause the camera to trigger more false alarms.

4. Establish the Sensitivity or relative amount of motion, between 1 (low) and 10 (high), that will trigger a behavior. The higher the setting, the greater the chance for false alarms; lower settings will reduce the chance of false alarms but might result in missed violations.

5. Consistency helps trigger a behavior when an object moves into the frame from a consistent direction. The sensitivity detection can be set from 0 (low) to 10 (high).

6. The Calibration function will show as Not Completed or Completed. If calibration is Not Completed, select Calibrate Scene. This will open a separate Calibrate Scene page.

7. Select Set height. This will bring up a blue square. Place the blue square over an object at a distance and set the Real-world height of the object in either feet or meters.

8. Select Set width. Two yellow lines appear. Measure the width of a far object using the line denoted by “Width of a far object” and the width of a near object using the line denoted by “Width of near object”.

9. Select Return to Main.

The Calibration shows as Completed.

Applying Select Behaviors

The settings available are dependent on the analytic behavior that you are configuring.

l Alarm at (Object Counting): Determines the number of objects entered into a zone that will trigger

an alarm.

l Alarm at (Dwell Time): Defines the amount of time that an alarm will remain active when an alarm-

triggering object exits the field of view or the zone.

l Alarm severity: Defines the severity of alarms triggered. Alarm severity helps you and other users

prioritize alarms.

l Delay before alarm: Defines the amount of time an object must remain in a zone before triggering

an alarm. For the Camera Sabotage behavior, this defines the delay between a scene violation and the trigger of an alarm.

l Direction: Determines the direction of motion a zone should track. Events will only be triggered

when your camera detects motion in the specified direction.

l Edit Zones:Some analytic behaviors require you to configure zones, otherwise known as Edit

Zones. A zone is a defined boundary that your camera monitors for an analytic behavior. Zones defined by polygons, trigger analytics based on motion within the zone. Zones defined by lines trigger analytic events when an object within the scene crosses the line.

l Enable Alarm: Enables a zone alarm. Analytic events for the zone will appear in the event stream

when viewing live video, and trigger event handlers if the Analytic Event source is enabled.

l Sensitivity: Overrides the global Profile sensitivity setting for the selected behavior, defining the

relative amount of motion, between 1 (low) and 10 (high) that will trigger an event or alarm. Sensitivity is an advanced option for some behaviors.

l Zone Sensitivity: Defines the relative amount of motion within the selected zone that will trigger an

event or alarm. Zone sensitivity can be set at a lower or higher setting than the overall sensitivity setting for the rest of the scene or the Profile sensitivity setting for the selected behavior.

l Object speed: Adjusts for speed if the scene is configured to track moving objects at a slower or

faster rate than actual speed.

Using Drawing Tools

When configuring a zone-based analytic behavior, you can draw zones by selecting one of the zonedrawing tools and then selecting within the scene to draw the zone. The availability of zone drawing tools is dependent on the analytic behavior you are configuring. Drawing tools include:

l Rectangle Tracks objects in a defined rectangular zone and triggers an alarm if the objects move in

the same direction as defined.

l Polygon: Tracks objects in a defined zone and triggers an alarm if the objects move in the same

direction as defined.

l Line: Tracks objects that cross a line and triggers an alarm if the objects move in the same direction

as defined.

l Rectangular Excluded Zone: Ignores objects inside a defined rectangular zone.

l Polygon Excluded Zone: Ignores objects inside a defined zone.

C6652M | 06/20

Sarix Enhanced3 Operations Manual, Dome, Bullet, and BoxCameras

l Set Object Size filters: Allows the user to set the minimum and maximum object size for a zone.

Objects that fall outside these limits will not be detected.

Using Select Behaviors

The following section describes the function of each Select Behavior and the ideal situation in which to use the behavior.

Abandoned Object

The Abandoned Object behavior detects objects placed within a defined zone and triggers an alarm if objects remain in the zone longer than the user-defined time allows.

Ideal Scene Setup for Abandoned Object Analytics

Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activities.

The ideal scene for the Abandoned Object behavior contains light traffic where people or objects within the field of view are continually moving, there are minimal obstructions, and the background is clean. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place monitoring zones in relatively stable areas.

Avoid crowded scenes where people or objects remain in one place for long periods of time.

Using Adaptive Motion

The Adaptive Motion behavior detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm when the objects enter a user-defined zone.

The Adaptive Motion behavior is designed to work indoors and outdoors to track a few moving objects in uncrowded fields of view. The behavior learns the background scene over time and adjusts to changing conditions like snow, fog, wind, and rain.

Ideal Scene Setup for Adaptive Motion

Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activity.

The ideal scene for Adaptive Motion behavior is one with light traffic and a clean background. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place zones in a relatively stable area.

Avoid crowded scenes where people move in all directions or stand in place for long periods of time.

Note: Objects that are very small might not be classified as the correct object type. This could result

in false alarms or alarms not being triggered. If objects appear too small in the scene, zoom in on the particular zone of interest or move the camera closer to the zone of interest to increase the relative size of the objects in the scene.

Directional Motion

The Directional Motion behavior generates an alarm in a high traffic area when a person or object moves in a specified direction. Examples of typical installations for this behavior include airports, entrances and exits, and vehicle traffic through tunnels.

l In an airport installation, cameras observe passengers boarding a plane in a terminal. If a person

moves in the opposite direction of the normal flow of traffic, an alarm triggers.

l In a tunnel installation, an operator wants to observe traffic flow. If a car enters a tunnel through an

exit, an alarm alerts the operator to activate the traffic signals to stop all traffic in the tunnel.

C6652M | 06/20

Sarix Enhanced3 Operations Manual, Dome, Bullet, and BoxCameras

l In an entrance or exit installation, a camera is pointed at an exit door. If a person tries to enter

through the exit door, an alarm triggers.

Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activity. The width of the object you want to detect should be at least one-tenth of the total width of the scene. To achieve increased accuracy in a crowded scene, set the width of the object to onesixth of the total width of the scene.

The ideal scene selection for the Directional Motion behavior contains light traffic with all people and objects moving in the same direction, minimal obstructions, and a clean background; however, the behavior can be used in settings that do not meet all of these requirements. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place zones in a relatively stable area.

Avoid crowded scenes in which people move in all directions or stand in one place for long periods of time.

Using Loitering Detection

The Loitering Detection behavior identifies when people or vehicles remain in a defined zone longer than the user-defined time allows. This behavior is effective in real-time notification of suspicious behavior around ATMs, stairwells, and school grounds.

Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activity.

The ideal scene for Loitering Detection behavior is one with light traffic and a clean background. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place the user-defined zone in a relatively stable area.

Avoid crowded scenes where people move in all directions or stand in one place for long periods of time.

Using Object Counting

The Object Counting behavior counts the number of objects that enter a user-defined zone. This behavior can be used to count people at a store entrance/exit or inside a store where the traffic is light. It might also be used to monitor vehicle traffic on highways, local streets and roads, parking lots, and garages.

The ideal scene for the Object Counting behavior contains light traffic, minimal obstructions, and a clean background. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place zones (polygon or line) in relatively stable areas.

A one-directional motion scene (for example, a vertical hallway) is preferable. Avoid crowded scenes in which people or objects move in all directions or remain in place for long periods of time.

Using Object Removal

The Object Removal analytic behavior triggers an alarm if an object is removed from a user-defined zone. It is ideal for detecting the removal of high-value objects, such as a painting from a wall or a statue from a pedestal.

Install the camera in a high position looking down on the scene. The monitored object should occupy a quarter of the camera scene, and the field of view should be as wide as possible.

The ideal scene selection for the Object Removal behavior is a clean background with stable lighting and minimal obstruction.

Using Stopped Vehicle

The Stopped Vehicle behavior detects vehicles stopped near a sensitive area, and sets an alarm if the vehicle is present for longer than a user-specified period of time. This behavior is ideal for parking enforcement, identifying suspicious parking, finding traffic lane breakdowns, and spotting vehicles waiting at gates.

C6652M | 06/20

Sarix Enhanced3 Operations Manual, Dome, Bullet, and BoxCameras

Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above regular motion activities.

The ideal scene for the Stopped Vehicle analytic behavior contains light traffic in which vehicles are continually moving, there are minimal scene obstructions, and the background is clean. If heavy traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place monitoring zones relatively stable areas.

Avoid crowded scenes where people or objects remain in place for long periods of time.

Event Stream

The Event Stream displays a list of alerts triggered by an active analytic behavior. The alert includes a screen capture, the profile that was triggered, and the zone in which the event was detected.
