DiSCAN-PTZ – a tracking robot for challenging lighting conditions Multi-camera system for close-up recording of intruders, using fixed panoramic view
The highly sensitive tracking robot DiSCAN-PTZ is an active multi-camera system for automatic PTZ intruder
tracking. Features include multiple static panoramic observation zones and IP recording on NAS devices.
The optical system is preconfigured and ready for immediate deployment and is integrated in a compact outdoor
housing with an optional emergency power supply.
The effectiveness of mega-pixel cameras in
24h-operation is limited due to their lack of light sensitivity. Additionally, the amount of data that is generated this way
becomes unnecessarily large due to unfocused picture areas and image details with no relevance.
When
using highly sensitive cameras in standard resolution an excessive number of cameras are needed for
large areas to be monitored. PTZ cameras may offer a possible solution but the operating personal
needed increase operating costs.
Main Features (DiSCAN-PTZ.4):
• Embedded cognitive video analytics in real time
• 1× operator free PTZ camera with 28× optical zoom
• 3× wide angle view cameras with low distortion
• Up to 270° common panoramic view (3× 35-90°)
• Designed for continuous operation by low-light
• Multi-zone scan with priorities and scheduling
• IP video streaming with triplex DVR functionality
• Record scan by field mark at the panoramic picture
• Quad view video output: PTZ and fixed cameras
Available: Q4 2012
The tracking robot DiSCAN-PTZ is a
compact speed dome system that analyzes video content from multiple highly sensitive
panoramic cameras providing real time PTZ intruder tracking. Equipped with an unobtrusive housing, it has been
designed for continuous 24/7 operation under minimum street lighting. The proprietary approach of
triangular cognitive video analytics allows three-dimensional modeling
which, among other things, consider zone priority, number of
tracking targets, moving profiles of objects and provides automatic facial
zooming, if required.
A detection radius of 50 to 120 meters can be achieved depending on the position and viewing angles
of the internal cameras in the system. This allows for the control of an area of as large as one
hectare (2.5 acres) with a single observation unit. The resolution of the visual coverage
corresponds to a CCTV camera distance of roughly three to five meters. The optical system
is preconfigured and ready for immediate deployment. It can also be modified to match local
conditions for providing more efficient in securing extended or asymmetrical areas through
varying camera angles.
