When the operator selects an arbitrary point, the PTZ camera's control parameters are automatically calculated. Consequently, the PTZ camera is positioned not only to the desired location but with the required zoom level as well.
The manual mode lets the operator highlight an object on a camera image which allows to point a PTZ camera to this object. An image scale is also calculated, if needed. ActiveDome manual mode can be successfully implemented in mass movement zones and where the constant operator's attention is required: squares, railway stations, airports, shopping malls, etc.
There are two ways to point the camera in manual mode:
- A simple click of the mouse - the selected location on the screen will be displayed at the required zoom level;
- Highlighting a rectangular area - the selected area will be displayed on the entire screen.
Automatic mode can be implemented for vast poorly visited areas security, where an appearance of a person or a vehicle is considered an alarm: warehouses and their surrounding areas, oil depots, military facilities, bridges, railroad exclusion zones, etc.
In automatic mode the information about the object transfers to PTZ camera from SIMT intellectual motion detector as well as from Neuro detector. Moreover, the modules transmit object coordinates to ActiveDome with consideration of their future shift during camera rotation. They're also capable to differ objects from one another and remember their history (track) which allows pointing cameras at them tun by turn to capture a detailed image of each. A camera switches between objects, following them during the period which is called "Switch timeout" and configured in the scene settings.
ActiveDome and Neuro Detector joint use allows configuring effective tracking of people with the same identification: the uniform color or absence of a headwear (hardhat).
Important
The possibility to use smart modules in ActiveDome is determined by the appropriate module license.
