2.6.2 Using Intelligent Tracking
Intelligent Tracking continuously follows an individual or an object. Intelligent Tracking
operates by recognizing an object in motion and zooms-in to approximately 50% of the field of
view for an average target height of six feet. Refer to Section 2.5 Configuring Intelligent
Tracking, page 11 , for details about activating the Intelligent Tracking feature.
Note : If you do not see these controls on the Livepage, ensure that the Enable AutoTrack
option is selected on the Livepage Functions page in the Settings tab. Refer to
Section 4.15 Livepage Functions, page 31 .
Use the following options to control Intelligent Tracking:
– Off : Disables Intelligent Tracking.
– Auto : Enables Intelligent Tracking. Constantly monitors for and actively tracks motion.
– Click : Allows a user to click on a moving target in the live video image to enable the VG5
700 AutoDome to track the movement of the selected target.
Note : This feature is available only from the Livepage. This feature is not available from
the Bosch Video Controller version 1.3.812. Support for the Click feature is planned for
the BVC 1.4 release.
If the Intelligent Tracking feature is set to Auto or Click, the live video image displays an eye
icon in a color that conveys the state of the Intelligent Tracking:
– SEEK state : steady white
Intelligent Tracking is actively seeking a target to follow.
– IDLE state : alternating black and white, slow cycle
Intelligent Tracking lost the selected target and will wait for the target to reappear using
the last known trajectory. During the IDLE state the camera will not seek other objects in
motion.
– ACTIVE state : alternating black and white, fast cycle
Intelligent Tracking is actively tracking a target.
– PASSIVE state : steady black
Intelligent Tracking attempts to passively track a target while a user has camera control.
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.
If the Show VCA metadata option is selected (in the Settings page - > Livepage Settings) the
live view will show the following metadata objects in the Livepage view:
– Objects in motion are initially identified in the video by a yellow outline.
