Hi everyone, Mike from CCTV Camera Pros here. I'm doing some more testing with our auto tracking PTZ
camera. It's that IP pan tilt zoom camera that you see there behind me. And today what I'm going to
do is I'm going to test the car detection. That camera has AI software built into it
that can detect objects such as cars and humans. In this video I'm going to detect vehicles. I'm
going to set up an intrusion zone at one of our entrances, basically no matter which way
a vehicle enters they have to pass through this intersection up front. When the vehicle passes
through that intersection the pan tilt zoom camera is going to detect the vehicle and track them.
And the first direction I'm going to come from you'll see it tracks me all the way
down to the other end of the building, that's 370 feet away from where the camera's mounted.
So first let me show you how to set up all the settings on the NVR. The camera is connected
to a Viewtron NVR, and I'm going to set up the intrusion zone and the PTZ auto tracking first,
and then we'll run through a demo of the auto tracking surveillance.
Here's the live security camera view on the Viewtron IP camera NVR that the PTZ is connected
to. Here's the full screen view of the PTZ camera. To set things up I'm going to select settings from
the main menu, and then select AI/event. On the AI screen I'm going to select AI event over here
on the left, and then the IP PTZ 425 is already selected, and the type of AI we're going to be
doing is intrusion. So I select intrusion and then check the enable detection by IP camera checkbox.
Next I'm going to draw the intrusion zone using the mouse, basically creating it's not
quite a square, but it's four points and that's the intrusion zone there.
Next I'm going to switch the PTZ to lock, that basically locks in this position, it is like
the home position when it's not auto tracking, and then check this trigger track check box.
Next, I'm going to click detection target and I'm going to uncheck human and non-motor vehicles
because the only type of objects I want to detect for this project are cars, motor vehicles.
Next, I select a trigger mode and I'm going to choose to take a snapshot, and also trigger
recording on the auto tracking PTZ camera. So I move that camera over to this box and select okay.
Now, if I wanted to I could set up mobile push notifications, an alarm buzzer,
video popup, and email notifications, but we're not going to do that for this project.
When I'm done I select apply and then select camera up at the top.
And then under the PTZ menu I'm going to select smart tracking.
And you have to select PTZ auto tracking as a priority here, and then click apply.
When I'm done I can close the setting screen by clicking on that X in the upper right,
and I'm back at the live view of the auto tracking PTZ camera.
This icon enables the visualization of the object detection and the target zone,
I just wanted to show you that. I'm going to disable that for the rest of the video.
Now we're going to move on to the auto tracking demo. So in a second you're going to see me
driving from the left and approaching the intrusion zone. Here I come now.
And once I pass that stop sign and enter the intrusion zone you'll see the PTZ
starts to auto track my car, and it's going to track me all the way down clear to the other end
of the parking lot. When I was done making this, I measured that last spot down there that I pull
into, actually the second to the last spot in the parking lot, that's 370 feet away from where the
camera is installed. So this is what the 25x zoom looks like on a vehicle that is 370 feet away.
And once the vehicle stopped, after a certain time it will go back to the home
position because it's no longer tracking me. But I'm going to continue to record here so
you can see me come from that position 370 feet away back through the intrusion zone,
and you can see it track me in the other direction. So here I come now.
And again, remember the intrusion zone is basically in the center of that intersection
there. So we can capture vehicles coming from any direction that they enter our parking lot.
And when I enter the intrusion zone here you'll see the PTZ starts to auto track me again. And
it only gets to a certain point here because this palm tree that we have out front kind of blocks
the object detection. If we really wanted to track the whole lot we'd have to take that tree down.
But it's good to be aware that when things like that get in your way it does interfere
with the auto tracking and the object detection. I hope this video's been helpful to show the AI
object detection software and auto tracking software for that's built
into that Viewtron IP PTZ camera. I made some other videos last week,
one that is a human object detection and auto tracking, and then another one that shows
the 25x zoom capability of this camera. A couple other things I want to mention.
That camera has built in IR night vision that's rated up to a hundred meters or 300 feet. It's a
full 360 pan tilt zoom camera, so that camera is able to spin a full 360 degrees around.
As you've noticed it's an outdoor camera, most of the time used outdoors because it's kind of
big, and it's IP 66 weatherproof rated, which is fine for down here in south Florida where it's
humid and rainy. It will also work well in cold weather environments.
