ESPRIT ENHANCED POSITIONING SYSTEM
Pelco’s Esprit
®
Enhanced Positioning System features a pan/tilt,
enclosure, and either an Integrated Optics Package (IOP) or a
pressurized Integrated Optics Cartridge (IOC) in a single, easy-to-
install system. Options include IOP with or without wiper and IOC
models with wiper.
A powder-coated, aluminum construction makes the Esprit Enhanced
Series ideal for either indoor or outdoor applications. The system has
an absolute operating temperature range of –45° to 60°C (–50° to
140°F). Within two hours after power-up, the entire unit can de-ice
and be operational from a temperature of –25°C (–13°F).
The Esprit Enhanced Series variable pan and tilt speeds range from
0.1 to 80 degrees per second in manual pan mode, and 0.1 to 40
degrees per second in manual tilt. Pan preset and turbo speeds are
140 degrees per second. Tilt preset speed is 140 degrees per second.
The Esprit Enhanced Series system’s IOC contains dry nitrogen pres-
surized to 10 psig, which protects the environment inside the car-
tridge eliminating internal condensation and corrosion. Sensors are
strategically placed in the cartridge to monitor pressure, which is
then displayed on the Web UI. The IOC is factory assembled and
installed in Esprit Enhanced Series systems. All labor intensive pro-
cedures of setting up the camera, lens and charging the unit with dry
nitrogen are eliminated. The miniature size of the cartridge
decreases the future need for maintenance and increases the overall
reliability of the pressurized unit.
Esprit Enhanced is available with a window wiper. The wiper is com-
pletely integrated into the enclosure and does not interfere with the
viewing range of the system. The wiper can be configured to delay
between wipes and to automatically shut off after a specified period.
The wiper design also allows for easy replacement of the wiper blade.
A built-in heater, window defroster/defogger, and sun shroud are
standard features on Esprit Enhanced units, which also includes an
open collector auxiliary output to control external devices.
The systems are available with a universal mains power supply. The
Esprit Enhanced Series also has a power-up recovery mode that
allows the user to specify what operation the system will resume
whenever the power is cycled.
Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
Electronic image stabilization (EIS) is a feature of the camera that
can help compensate for some frequencies of vibration. In all cases,
care should be taken to ensure that any positioning system is
mounted to a rigid location.
The default for EIS is OFF. The user can turn EIS ON if vibration is
affecting image quality. Although EIS can reduce the impact of
vibration on image quality, it cannot correct for all levels of vibration.
Other measures should be taken to isolate the camera from the
source of the vibration or to seek a more rigid mounting location.
PELCO ANALYTICS BEHAVIORS
The Esprit Enhanced Series includes nine user-configurable
behaviors. The camera is capable of running up to three behaviors
simultaneously; although, the number of behaviors is limited to the
available processing power of the camera and the type of analytic
being used.
• Abandoned Object: Detects objects placed within a defined zone and
triggers an alarm if the object remains in the zone longer than the
user-defined time allows. An airport terminal is a typical installation for
this behavior. This behavior can also detect objects left behind at an
ATM, signaling possible card skimming.
• Adaptive Motion Detection: Detects and tracks objects that enter a
scene and then triggers an alarm when the objects enter a user-defined
zone. This behavior is primarily used in outdoor environments with light
traffic to reduce the number of false alarms caused by environmental
changes.
• AutoTracker: Detects and tracks movement in the field of view. When
the AutoTracker behavior is configured, the system automatically pans
and tilts to follow the moving object until the object stops or disappears
from the monitored area.
• Camera Sabotage: Detects contrast changes in the field of view. An
alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed by spray paint, a cloth, or a
lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an
alarm.
• Directional Motion: Generates an alarm in a high traffic area when a
person or object moves in a specified direction. Typical installations for
this behavior include an airport gate or tunnel where cameras can detect
objects moving in the opposite direction of the normal flow of traffic or an
individual entering through an exit door.
• Loitering Detection: 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.
• Object Counting: Counts the number of objects that enter a defined
zone. This behavior can be used to count the number of people at a store
entrance/exit or inside a store where the traffic is light. This behavior is
based on tracking and does not count people in a crowded setting.
• Object Removal: Triggers an alarm if an object is removed from a
user-defined zone. This behavior is ideal for customers who want to
detect the removal of high value objects, such as painting from a wall or a
statue from a pedestal.
• Stopped Vehicle: Detects vehicles stopped near a sensitive area longer
than the user-defined time allows. This behavior is idea for airport
curbside drop-offs, parking enforcement, suspicious parking, traffic lane
breakdowns, and vehicles waiting at gates.
Illumination Options
Esprit Enhanced is available with options for IR illumination as well
as Dual mode: IR and white light illumination. The vari-zoom IR
illumination option dynamically matches the field of view of the
camera and adapts in intensity to maintain consistent illumination
across the range of zoom all the way out to 200 meters. The Dual
Mode illumination option has both IR illumination as well as white
light illumination that can be switched from one to the other with a
click.
