What is an automatic tracking ball machine?

1. Automatic tracking dome camera

The automatic tracking (AutoTrack) dome camera (AutoDome) is a new type of camera, which is divided into network and simulated automatic tracking. It can be programmed to perform "intelligent patrol", that is, scan an area according to a pre-programmed patrol route. When movement is detected, the camera will stop the patrol program, zoom in on the target image, and track the target to record the movement and issue an alarm. None of these actions require operator assistance, allowing the operator to handle the alarm or take other actions.

2.1 Detection is the core of security technology

Security technology is an application that integrates detection and control of related technologies. When it draws on relevant technologies for application development, it always focuses on the core of detection, which is also the basic function of the security system.

The performance of the detection alarm system, such as false alarm rate, missed alarm rate, zone detection sensitivity, detection range, etc., mainly depends on the detection performance of the detector.

At present, the detection equipment used in detection and alarm systems mainly detects physical quantities and state changes in the environment. This detection method essentially does not have the ability to detect targets. Therefore, the problem of false alarms has always plagued the security system. The use of multiple detection elements, multi-technology composite detection and intelligent data analysis has greatly improved the performance and functionality of the detector and reduced the false alarm rate, but this has not fundamentally solved the problem.

Video surveillance technology observes on-site targets and directly identifies the characteristics of the targets. This is an effective detection method, and it is a detection method that does not require review or is integrated with review.

In the design of real security projects, the first thing we have to consider is alarm, which is the so-called alarm priority, and video surveillance is used as an auxiliary system, because any check-in operator cannot pay attention to the picture for a long time in an unknown state. In order to reduce the impact of manual fatigue factors and ensure reliable operation of the system, alarms are usually given priority.

2.2 Detection of moving targets by automatically tracking dome camera

Dome cameras characterized by automatic tracking are known as "tracking technology that liberates manpower for sports." Monitoring systems using such cameras can intelligently detect and track moving targets, and achieve automatic tracking, recording, and alarming of moving targets, completely changing the situation in which video surveillance systems can only be used as auxiliary systems.

2.3 The difference between automatic tracking dome cameras and video motion detection technology

(1) The automatic tracking dome camera can be programmed to perform "intelligent patrol" and scan an area according to the pre-programmed patrol route. Once motion is detected at any position in the entire scanning area, it will immediately implement automatic tracking, video recording, and alarm.The motion detection that video motion detection technology can achieve is only limited to the inherent field of view of the camera. The video recorder starts recording after receiving the sensor signal of motion detection. When recording within a fixed long period of time, it does not care whether the moving object is still within the camera's field of view.

(2) The automatic tracking dome camera can set the size of the tracked target through the motion detection algorithm, so that any target smaller than the set size, such as birds, animals, or other objects, will not be tracked. This is difficult to achieve with video motion detection.

3. Automatic tracking dome cameras can improve the monitoring performance of security technology

3.1 The surveillance system using automatic tracking dome camera will be active surveillance

Most surveillance systems are reactive. The method used by this surveillance system is to review the video tape or hard disk afterwards and study what happened at that time. It is a passive surveillance method. For automatic tracking dome cameras, when motion is detected, the camera will send out a signal, instructing the camera to actively track the target, increase the recording frequency of the video, and issue an alarm to the operator. After locking the intruder, automatic tracking allows the operator to immediately study the images of the intruder and take action to prevent the crime. It is an active monitoring method.

3.2 The operator’s work becomes easier and more efficient

Under normal circumstances, an operator has to monitor multiple screens and control the camera's control lever at the same time. With the automatic tracking dome camera, the camera monitors by itself. Once movement is detected, it automatically completes zooming, tracking, recording, and alarming, so that the operator does not need to stare at the screen and can complete other tasks.
