In this mode, the camera continuously analyzes the scene for IVA alarms or IVA rule violations.
If an IVA rule is violated, it triggers the advanced tracking feature of the camera to start
following the object / person that triggered the alarm. This allows the camera to track moving
objects of interest without getting distracted by other moving objects in the scene.
To activate this mode, you must enable IVA by selecting either IVA 5.6 or IVA 5.6 Flow in the
Analysis type field of the VCA page (from the SETTINGS page, select Advanced Mode >
Alarm > VCA). Refer to the IVA 5.60 Operation Manual for specific information.
If the Show VCA metadata option is selected in LIVE Functions (from the SETTINGS page,
select Advanced Mode > Web Interface > LIVE Functions), the live view will show the
following metadata objects in the LIVE page view:
– Objects in motion are initially identified in the video.
– Actively tracked object in motion are identified in the video.
– When an object in motion is lost, a diamond appears designating the area where the
target was lost.
Several reasons may cause the Intelligent Tracking to stop tracking a target:
– The target has stopped moving while being followed by Intelligent Tracking.
– The target has moved behind a static object in the scene.
In these instances, Intelligent Tracking switches to the IDLE mode (pink eye icon) and waits
for the target to reappear in the scene. The camera will restart tracking if a target starts
moving in the same area where the initial target stopped moving or if the camera detects an
object moving along the last known trajectory.
Recommended Use of Your Camera
Bosch recommends that you consider the following in order to optimize the life of your Bosch
camera.
1. Guard Tours and Preset Tours
With the AUTODOME 7000 Series, you can cover a full 360° view using continuous Guard
Tours or Preset Tours. Depending on the type of camera tour selected, your camera might be
either in continuous motion (pan, tilt, or both) or moving between selected preset positions.
Continuous Guard Tours
Guard Tours are a very effective way of monitoring the entire scene; however, if not configured
properly, continuous Guard Tours can reduce the service life of your camera considerably.
Continuous Guard Tours should be used in applications where the tours are required to run
for a fixed duration during the day (not more than twelve hours/day). Additionally, for best
results, the continuous guard tour should be used in scenes with sufficient illumination levels
(50 lux or better), should be at least 60 seconds in duration, and should have a smooth pan/
tilt path (without erratic stops and starts), with the lens set at a wide angle (infinity focus).
The tour should also include at least 10° of tilt movement.
Preset Tours
For scenarios that require the camera to be in continuous motion for most of the day, Bosch
recommends that you set the camera in Preset Tour mode, moving between a desired set of
presets. For best results, always ensure that each preset has a dwell time of at least 5
seconds.
Notice!
Presets should be saved with One Push (“Spot Focus”) only.
