System Compatibility

Spectra HD 1080p easily connects with Pelco by Schneider Electric and hybrid IP systems such as Endura version 2.0 (or later) and Digital Sentry version 7.3 (or later). The camera is also compatible with Digital Sentry NVs video management software (DS NV), which includes four free Pelco IP licenses and makes it easy to manage video from 64 cameras. The dome system has a connection architecture open to third parties that allows integration into any IP system based on high definition.

Pelco Analytics: behaviors

Spectra HD 1080 allows the user to choose between nine camera behavior configuration options – being able to execute up to three behaviors at the same time – although the number of behaviors is limited to the power of the camera processor and the type of analytics used. The user can create several personalized profiles for each behavior, that contain different camera settings. With these profiles, Different scenarios can be established for each situation, which will automatically detect Spectra HD and trigger alarms when the specific activity occurs.

Pelco Analytics is configured and enabled using a standard web browser. Pelco alarm behavior is compatible with Endura and a third-party system that supports the Pelco API system. Various Pelco behaviors can be programmed over a certain time. For example, during the day a camera can be configured with the “Object Count” behavior to count the number of people entering through a door, and at night, The operator can change the profile to “Camera Sabotage” behavior to trigger an alarm if the camera moves or is obstructed. The nine types of Pelco behaviors included in Spectra HD are:

· Abandoned Objects: Detects objects placed within a previously defined area. If the object remains within that space longer than the time defined by the user, an alarm goes off. For example, An airport terminal or an ATM can be two facilities where this behavior occurs..

· Motion Detection: Detects and tracks objects that are in the Spectra HD's field of view 1080. When objects enter the user-defined zone, the camera triggers an alarm. This behavior is primarily used in outdoor environments with traffic lights to reduce the number of false alarms caused by changes in the environment..

· AutoTracker: Like the ‘Motion Detection’ behavior, Detects and tracks motion in the camera's field of view. Con AutoTracker, besides, The system automatically pans and tilts following the moving object until it stops or disappears from the monitored area.

· Sabotage Camera: Detects contrast changes in the field of view. Alarm is activated if the object is obstructed, For example, by spray paint, clothing or if it is covered by the lens cap. It would also be activated by any unauthorized repositioning of the camera.

· Directional Movement: Generates an alarm in a crowded area when a person or object moves in a specific direction. The perfect installations for this type of behavior would be an airport or tunnel gate where cameras can detect objects moving in the opposite direction to the normal flow of traffic., For example, an individual entering through an exit door.

· Loitering detection: Identifies people or vehicles that remain in the user-defined area for longer than the time defined.. This behavior is effective on suspicious behavior around ATMs, stairs or school yards.

· Object Count: Counts the number of objects that enter the user-defined zone. This behavior is based on tracking, and can be used to count the number of people entering and leaving a store.

· Object Elimination: Triggers an alarm if an object is removed from the user-defined zone. This behavior is ideal for clients who want to protect high-value items, such as a painting or sculpture.

· Stopped Vehicles: Detects vehicles that are stopped near the area defined by the user. This behavior is highly recommended to control behavior in a parking lot., suspicious vehicles, breakdowns in a traffic lane and vehicles waiting in front of the doors.
