Intelligent Guard Tour
Intelligent Guard Tour
A traditional guard tour uses a series of Scans or Sequences which the PTZ camera follows in order to show
different areas covered by the camera's field of view or a Security Guard using the PTZ controls to watch different
areas. In the mode of operation the Security Guard must monitor the camera view looking for objects of interest,
which can easily be missed.
The Illustra Pro PTZ combines Stepped Scans or Sequences and Motion Trackion to introduce the Intelligent
Guard Tour feature. This feature allows the camera to monitor different fields of view, configured using a stepped
scan or a sequence, for motion. If motion is detected the camera will track the motion keeping the object center
frame and in focus by automatically adjusting the PTZ settings. The camera will track the motion until either there
is no motion is detected in the Field Of View or the Motion Tracking Duration timer limit has been reached. Once
the camera finishes tracking it will return to the programed Scan or Sequence it was performing before the motion
was detected.
Note:
It is recommended that Motion Detection is enabled with Intelligent Guard Tour to allow the camera to raise a
Motion Detection Alert to the Network Video Recorder allowing recording of the object being tracked.
In this mode of operation when there is motion, a motion start alarm is sent, motion tracking starts (camera starts
using PTZ functionality to follow the motion). Only when there are 3 seconds of no motion in the field of view, or
the motion tracking duration expires, is there a motion stop alarm sent. The camera will then resume to the next
set point of the Sequence or Scan.
To configure the Intelligent Guard Tour the following steps should be followed:
