Auto-tracking systems imply a giant leap forward in relation to the features offered by cameras available on the market. When a person is detected by this device, the lens zooms in on the individual and tracks all of his/her motions until the person leaves the camera’s field of view. Auto-tracking for dome cameras is an excellent option to improve video surveillance, which is why we will discuss this technology more in-depth.
How can the features of a dome camera be enhanced? With a smart auto-tracking system that allows for the surveillance of large spaces, offering the increased security of being able to clearly identify one or several persons moving within its range. This is particularly useful for surveillance in restricted areas or perimeter surveillance.
The need to protect goods or the access to specific facilities can be essential both for businesses and companies of different sectors, as well as for institutions, law enforcement organizations, government organizations or protected areas, such as thermal or nuclear plants. Traditional surveillance systems have long ago been replaced by technologies that are nowadays considered to be essential. Auto-tracking, which also sees residential use nowadays, is one of those innovations that can do a lot for the security of various types of buildings.
The use of auto-tracking systems avoids the need to have a security officer that is constantly watching the dome cameras. The device automatically zooms in on people in motion, tracks them as they move and does so crisply and clearly, with a focus that allows the person to be identified at all times, in full detail. These types of systems operate 24 hours a day ad require a basic and simple maintenance.
Moreover, in many cases, cameras that have auto-tracking can be programmed to identify or focus on objects or people according to a configured size and shape pattern. Cameras that have this automatic tracking feature in many cases make it unnecessary to have many cameras, even though for this they need to be installed by a professional team with the proper knowledge and experience, who know the range and field of view of each camera when they are installed. In this way, blind spots can be avoided.
Grekkom Technologies has developed Auto-tracking, an automatic dome camera positioning system for video-verification and automatic tracking of intruders. Its applications range from perimeter security to traffic control, all the way through maritime security, border control and fire prevention & detection.
In addition to offering the automatic positioning of dome cameras via UTM coordinates, Auto-tracking guarantees the automated tracking of intruders and includes algorithms that select the best viewpoint and prioritize the tracking of targets using one or several dome cameras. With a quick and simple setup, it is also compatible with the most common dome cameras on the market: AXIS, Dahua, Hikvision, Flir and Bosch.
Grekkom Technologies’ various VMS systems offer advanced auto-tracking features and characteristics that provide an added value.
This security camera screen interface can be used to remotely control the monitoring by detection stations that have been installed in the field. In addition to perimeter surveillance, they allow for maritime, traffic and health surveillance. They are also useful for process control and risk prevention.
This geographic information system allows for the monitoring of alarms triggered by the system in real time over the terrain’s orthophoto. Its uses include perimeter surveillance, maritime surveillance, fire prevention and detection and traffic control.
This alarm, status and operation verification module, which is compatible with other manufacturers, is a good option for perimeter surveillance, maritime surveillance, fire prevention and detection, traffic control, process control and risk prevention.
