Infrared (Ir) Illumination; Privacy Protection - Bosch AVIOTEC IP starlight 8000 Planning Manual

AVIOTEC IP starlight 8000
4.6.2

Infrared (IR) illumination

Notice!
When using infrared light, it is necessary to set the Day/Night mode in the camera menu to
Monochrome or Auto.
Notice!
If you use infrared light in poor lighting situations and different lighting situations arise in
your application, the fire detection must be tested again in each lightning situation!
Generally, a uniformly infrared illuminated monitoring area with a dynamic range in the camera
image equal or less than factor 5 is advantageous.
Infrared backlight is to be avoided. The visibility of a smoke plume or flames decreases rapidly
with increasing Infrared backlight. Try to minimize the amount of very bright background lights
in your specific environment as far as it is meaningful and possible.
4.6.3

Privacy protection

Notice!
There is no fire detection in privacy defined masks created in the Intelligent Video Analytics.
To protect privacy, individual masks on the video screen can be defined to cover up areas in
which privacy has to be guaranteed. Privacy defined masks remain stored after a reset of the
camera, even after upgrading to a new firmware.
