Sodium vapor lamp white balance
The camera is an exceptional performer when
capturing video under a sodium vapor lamp (a street
lamp or tunnel lamp, for example). Images under these
conditions may have a yellowish tint, which may make
identification difficult. In the Sodium Vapor White
Balance mode, the camera automatically compensates
for the light from a sodium vapor lamp to restore
objects to their original color.
Virtual masking
The camera offers Virtual Masking, which gives users
flexibility to mask parts of the scene which should not
be considered for flow analysis to trigger Intelligent
Tracking. This allows users to mask background
motion in the scene such as moving trees, pulsating
lights, busy roads, etc.
Intelligent Tracking
The camera utilizes the built-in Intelligent Video
Analytics (IVA) to follow an individual or an object
continuously. Objects detected by IVA when the
camera is in a stationary position activate the
Intelligent Tracking feature, which controls the pan/
tilt/zoom actions of the camera to keep the tracked
object in the scene.
The new Intelligent Tracking is based on robust flow
detection algorithms which can reliably track moving
objects even under challenging scenes.
The tracking and detection reliability can be enhanced
further with virtual masking for scenes with a lot of
background motion such as trees or other objects
creating constant motion in the scene.
The camera supports three modes for Intelligent
Tracking:
Auto mode: When configured in this mode, the camera
actively analyzes the video to detect any moving
object. If it detects movement, it begins to track the
object. This mode is most useful for scenarios where
normally no motion is expected.
One Click mode: In this mode, users can click an
object moving in the live video image to enable the
camera to track the movement of the selected object.
This mode is most useful for scenarios where normal
scene activity is expected.
IVA-triggered mode: 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 unique combination of robust IVA and Intelligent
Tracking allows the camera to track moving objects of
interest without getting distracted by other moving
objects in the scene.
Intelligence
With built-in video content analysis, the AUTODOME
reinforces the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where
edge devices become increasingly intelligent.
The AUTODOME comes with Bosch’s Intelligent Video
Analysis (IVA) built-in. IVA is state-of-the-art intelligent
video analysis that reliably detects, and analyzes
moving objects while suppressing unwanted alarms
from spurious sources in the image.
The IVA functionality built into the AUTODOME is able
to detect idle and removed objects as well as loitering,
multiple line crossing, and trajectories. IVA also
supports BEV (Bird’s Eye View) People counting.
Assisted Self Calibration and configurable detection
filters improve reliability and reduce operator work
load.
AUTODOME 7000 PTZ drive and mechanism
The AUTODOME 7000 supports 256 pre-positions and
two styles of Guard Tours: Preset and Record/
Playback. Users can configure the preset standard tour
with as many as 256 sequential pre-positions, with a
configurable dwell time between pre-positions. The
AUTODOME Series also provides support for two
recorded tours, which are recorded macros of an
operator’s movements, including pan, tilt, and zoom
activities, and can be played back with the click of a
button.
Pan and tilt preset repeatability are accurate to within
±0.1 degrees to ensure that the correct scene is
captured every time. The camera delivers variable pan/
tilt speeds from a crawl speed of only 0.1 degrees per
second to a full 400 degrees per second. The camera
is capable of pan speeds of 400 degrees per second
and tilt speeds of 300 degrees per second between
prepositions. The camera provides a tilt angle 18
degrees above the horizon, and a pan range of up to
360 degrees continuous rotation.
The AutoScaling (proportional zoom) and AutoPivot
(automatically rotates and flips the camera) features
ensure optimal control.
Five (5) pre-programmed user modes
Five pre-programmed but configurable user modes,
optimized with the best settings for a variety of typical
applications, make camera programming on-site easy
and user-friendly. Users select from the menu the
mode that best defines the environment in which the
camera is installed:
• Outdoor – general day-to-night changes with sun
highlights and street lighting
• Indoor – general day-to-night changes without sun
highlights and street lighting
• Low light –optimized for sufficient details at low light
• Motion – monitoring traffic or fast moving objects;
motion artifacts are minimized
• Vibrant – enhanced contrast color reproduction and
sharpness
Users have the ability to customize these modes, if
necessary, for the specific requirements of the site.
