2.7 Site Commissioning
The Commissioning Phase consists of the following steps:
• Presidium Configuration
• Detection Tests
• Soak Tests
• Monitoring Tests
Appendix F contains a commissioning checklist for each Presidium channel.
2.7.1 Presidium Configuration
The first element of Site Commissioning is to configure the Presidium system. Refer to
Installation / Configuration on page 43 for instructions.
2.7.2 Performance Assessment
Detection Tests
Presidium, as a detection system, should initially be configured to ensure detection occurs
effectively, and then corrective action can occur to limit any nuisance alarms. Whilst performing
the detection tests, it is important to ensure that the tests are adequately documented and
described for proper ongoing maintenance. A subset of the tests should be performed on a
regular basis to confirm correct operation. The detection tests should also be annotated on a site
plan to highlight the areas where the tests are performed. Refer to Site Maintenance on page 26
for a description of the necessary maintenance procedures.
Site Detection Tests on page 103 contains a table for documenting the detection tests performed
and their outcome. Prior to performing the detection tests, Display all Tracks on Video Output
should be disabled. Refer to General Setup on page 54.
For each detection area, the following should be performed:
• Check that the detection area covered by each camera connected to Presidium matches
the design, and that the detection areas programmed for Presidium are correctly aligned
within the field of view of the camera.
• Check that any PIR detector is aligned as initially designed. This may require using the PIR
tester and software to ensure that the angle of the tilt is correct, i.e. approximately 1m (3ft)
high at the maximum detection distance, as well as the horizontal alignment of the PIR,
using another person as an IR target when required.
• Determine the level of intrusion to be detected, such as a casual opportunistic intruder, or a
well planned and executed covert intrusion. Design and document tests based around the
security level and scene content. Factors that may vary include the speed of target, the size
of the target and the location in the scene. The following describes how to perform the tests,
and is suitable for both the PIR and Presidium detection testing:
- Tests should be performed at three separate locations: the foreground FOV, in the
middle of the scene and at the maximum FOV.
- The target should move to the point where intrusion would expect to start. If this is
within the detection area, then once the target has moved to the start point, the target
should stay motionless for one minute to allow Presidium to settle.
- The target should then perform the detection test. As a minimum a walk test and a run
test should be performed at each distance. More tests can be performed as required in
each individual scene, but most importantly all possible intrusion points must be tested.
- For size discrimination testing, a small target, such as a basketball rolled across the
scene, could be used to check that small targets are or are not being detected by
Presidium as required.
