Optera™ Operations Manual
2 Camera Tracking
The 2 Camera Tracking behavior is tied to Pelco Camera Link, a feature that provides the ability to couple
the full hemispherical coverage of the Optera cameras to the 30x zoom capability of Pelco's Enhanced
Series PTZ cameras (e.g. Spectra Enhanced, Esprit Enhanced and ExSite Enhanced). Pelco Camera Link
provides an automatic PTZ operator that uses the analytic information from Optera to point and zoom the
Enhanced Series PTZ camera onto the scene. Pelco Camera Link can be installed on any existing Optera
camera and any existing Enhanced Series PTZ camera (firmware version 2.11 or later). Purchasing a new
camera is not required.
Ideal Scene Setup for Abandoned Object Analytics
Pelco Camera Link provides the Auto Tracking function even if the Optera and the Enhanced Series PTZ
camera are mounted in the same location or if they are mounted completely separate from the other
camera. The cameras do not need to be in sight of one another, but must have some overlapping of the
view space. A low traffic area is ideal for setting up Pelco Camera Link (e.g. Pelco Camera Link is not
designed for heavy traffic areas such as airports.).
Pelco Camera Link operates with all Optera models, including Optera 180, 270, and 360.
A single Optera camera can provide analytic information to one, two, or multiple Enhanced Series PTZ
cameras. This allows auto tracking from different views, or for one Enhanced Series PTZ camera to follow
one moving object, while a second Enhanced Series PTZ camera follows a different object.
Setup of Pelco Camera Link can be done completely from a PC through the camera's web UI. No
measurements or blue prints are required to determine the position of the Enhanced Series PTZ camera
relative to the Optera camera to enable accurate Auto Tracking. A one-time setup is all that is required to
calibrate the position of an Enhanced Series PTZ camera in relation to an Optera camera.
For details on how to set up Pelco Camera Link, please see the Setting Up and Operating Pelco Camera
Link section of the manual.
Abandoned Object
The Abandoned Object behavior detects objects placed within a defined zone and triggers an alarm if
objects remain in the zone longer than the user-defined time allows.
Ideal Scene Setup for Abandoned Object Analytics
Install the camera in a ceiling or against a wall with the lens pointing at a slight downward angle, above
regular motion activities.
The ideal scene for the Abandoned Object behavior contains light traffic where people or objects within the
field of view are continually moving, there are minimal obstructions, and the background is clean. If heavy
traffic or a busy background is unavoidable, place monitoring zones in relatively stable areas.
Avoid crowded scenes where people or objects remain in one place for long periods of time.
Adaptive Motion
The Adaptive Motion behavior detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm
when the objects enter a user-defined zone.
The Adaptive Motion behavior is designed to work indoors and outdoors to track a few moving objects in
uncrowded fields of view. The behavior learns the background scene over time and adjusts to changing
conditions like snow, fog, wind, and rain.
