AXIS Q1656-DLE Radar-Video Fusion Camera
Configure your device
Radar Autotracking for PTZ supports specific PTZ cameras, see the compatibility list at
This is a server-based solution that can handle different setups:
-
Control several PTZ cameras with one radar.
-
Control one PTZ camera with several radars. Only one of the radars can be an AXIS Q1656-DLE.
-
Control several PTZ cameras with several radars. The PTZ camera will track objects in the order they are placed
in the control queue.
-
Control one PTZ camera with one radar when they are mounted in different positions covering the same area.
Note
Use an NTP server to synchronize the time on the cameras and the Windows computer. If the clocks are out of synch, you
may experience delays in the tracking, or ghost tracking.
How to minimize false alarms
If you notice that you get too many false alarms, you can filter out certain types of movement or objects, change the coverage, or
adjust the detection sensitivity. Test which settings work best for your environment.
•
Adjust the detection sensitivity of AXIS Object Analytics:
Go to
Settings > Apps > AXIS Object Analytics
, open a scenario, and select a lower
Detection sensitivity
.
-
Low sensitivity
: Requires both the radar and the camera to detect the object. Reduced risk of false alarms,
but increased risk of missed detections.
-
Automatic
: Lets the application decide if both radar and camera or only one of them is required to detect
the object.
-
High sensitivity
: Requires either the radar or the camera to detect the object. Increased risk of false alarms but
reduced risk of missed detections.
•
Adjust the detection sensitivity of the radar:
Go to
Settings > Radar > Settings > Detection
and select a lower
Detection sensitivity
. This decreases the risk of false
alarms, but it could also cause the radar to miss some movement.
-
Low
: Use this sensitivity when there are a lot of metal objects or large vehicles in the area. It will take longer time
for the radar to track and classify objects. This can reduce the detection range, especially for fast moving objects.
-
Medium
: This is the default setting.
-
High
: Use this sensitivity when you have an open field without metal objects in front of the radar. This will
increase the detection range for humans.
•
Modify the include and exclude zones:
If the include zone includes hard surfaces, such as a metal wall, there may be reflections that causes multiple detections
for a single physical object. In this case, modify the include zone, see , or add an exclude zone that masks everything
behind the surface, see .
•
Filter on movement:
Go to
Settings > Radar > Settings > Detection
and select
Ignore swaying objects
. This setting will minimize false alarms
from trees, bushes, and flagpoles in the coverage zone.
•
Filter on time:
-
Go to
Settings > Radar > Scenarios
.
