ANALYTIC CONFIGURATION To configure an analytic behavior using a standard Web browser, you must create a profile, select the behavior for the profile, and then create the zones to be monitored by the behavior. NOTES: • This section explains how to configure and enable Pelco analytics using a Web browser. • Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through Pelco’s API.
Revising a Profile 1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab. 2. Select Analytic Configuration from the drop-down menu. 3. Select the profile name from the Select Profile section. The settings for the profile appear. 4. Make the required changes to the profile settings. 5. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it. Deleting a Profile 1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab. 2.
BEHAVIORS Behaviors analyze objects within the camera’s field of view and are configured to detect and trigger alarms automatically when specific activity is detected. Examples of behaviors include Camera Sabotage, which detects contrast changes in the field of view and triggers an alarm if the lens is obstructed or if the camera is repositioned, and Adaptive Motion, which detects and tracks objects that enter a user-defined zone. Configuring a Behavior 1. Place your mouse pointer over the Events tab. 2.
ZONES A zone is a defined boundary or area that is monitored by a configured behavior. A zone can be defined by a box, polygon, or line. If a box or polygon is drawn to define the zone, any motion in the defined direction triggers an alarm. For example, if a line is drawn to define the zone, any motion that crosses the line in the defined direction triggers an alarm. Objects within a zone can also be excluded and sized.
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 objects are monitored until they exit the scene. 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.
CAMERA SABOTAGE The Camera Sabotage behavior detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed by spray paint, a cloth, or if it is covered with a lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm. Scene Setup for Camera Sabotage Install the camera in a high position, looking down on the scene. The field of view should be as large as possible. A small field of view could result in the view being blocked by an adjacent object.
