Designing a Site with Pelco Smart Analytics
Introduction
Pelco video analytics cameras and appliances are easy to install and can achieve positive analytics
results without ongoing software adjustments. Pelco's patented video analytics are designed to
automatically adjust to the camera's field of view without configuration or adjustment.
Objects are classified as person or vehicle. You can set up rules and alarms based on this detection in
the MSI Camera Configuration Tool (CCT) software.
For video analytics to perform effectively, the analytics cameras must be installed correctly.
Video analytics enabled cameras must be installed:
l
Within the height and angle guidelines.
l
Within sight of the area of interest.
l
Where there is sufficient light in the area of interest.
l
Where there is sufficient contrast to detect foreground motion.
For example, a person walking in white clothes in a snow-covered field of view may provide poor
results.
The following information provides a basic set of installation parameters. Read through the
entire document before installing cameras.
For site configurations that differ from the listed recommendations, or when in doubt, consult a
Pelco representative before installing the cameras.
Classified Object Detection
Design your site with the following guidelines to use video analytics for Object Classification.
General Guidelines
In general, cameras should be installed according to the following guidelines to achieve optimal analytics
performance.
Mounting Height and Angle
l
Cameras should be mounted at a minimum of 2.8 m (9 ft) level to the horizon and ground plane
(for outdoor or large indoor areas).
l
Cameras can be tilted within 30° from the horizontal for optimal object classification.
o
Increasing the tilt angle can help in detecting targets that are directly approaching the
camera.
o
The camera should be tilted no more than 45° from the horizontal.
l
Cameras should be mounted to a stable surface to minimize vibration and movement.

l
Select a lens, mounting height and tilt angle to capture the required level of detail for Classified
Object detection within the scene.
Field of View
l
Camera field of view must be level with the horizon.
l
People in the field of view should be walking upright.
l
People and cars moving parallel to the field of view provide better results than objects moving to or
from the camera.
Object Speed
l
Position cameras so that they can capture moving objects in the field of view for at least 2
seconds.
