CCTV Question.

Without human assistance of any kind...

Russell,

Yes, Bosch/Burle has such a system. I saw it demo'd a couple of years ago. It seemed to work fine if just one moving object was detected. However if there were two or more it kinda went nuts trying to watch what to lock in on. As I remember it was rather pricey at the time and now.....................$$$$$$$

Give them a call I am sure they will have something better now.

Good Luck,

Les

This is really cool!!!

that is cool...the website is annoying....but the product looks neato.

I've played with an Omniscape in Burtek's showroom... not too shabby at all. Recording a 360-degree fisheye of the whole area at 3.1MP allows you to zoom any given area of recorded OR live video.

Head on, apply directly to the forehead, Head on, apply directly to the forehead. I couldn't resist, sorry.

I have setupo up some PTZ applications taking advantage of the idle time programming and the trigger input programming to use extrernal triggers to get a similar affect. It may not work for your application, but the Pelco PTZs take trigger inputs and they can be associated with specific presets. IN a warehouse I simpley set presets for zoom views on key doorways, and then put contacts on those doors trigger that preset. If the camera sits idle for X minutes it automatically goes back on its preprogrammed patrol pattern.

I know that doesn't answer your question, but it is an alternative for some applications. Motion, PE beams, and other sensors could be used in some applications to achieve better use of an expensive camera. I only mention this as often the actual problem is not clearly defined or the customer wants a magic do-all instead of addressing specific issues.

Omniscape sort of eliminates all the "fuss". You program your trigger through software. On a large job with possible multiple trigger inputs, your PTZ solution wouldn't work so well unless you had multiple cameras set up. Omniscape allows you to record specfic events based on a "zone trigger" in real time, and then gives you the tools to zoom/focus on any area in the room during either playback or while you're still recording the full 360 degree scene. It's an awesome system albeit a bit on the "pricey" side for the moment. I imagine that will come down as they "repay" their R & D. These guys were clearly thinking "outside of the box". :-)

My point was that sometimes if the problem or scope of the job is properly defined you can limit the amount of money you throw at the job.

And with a big facility you are going to need multiple cameras anyway. There aren't many that can see around corners or through walls. Atleast none my clients can afford. LOL.

I have installed many generation 3 auto tracker PTZ domes. Generation 4 has just come out and is even better with Auto Track II. It does exactly what you say you want it to. Unfortunately it has a healthy price tag. If you need a great Aoto Track camera this is one to look at.

the new generation of IP camera from Panasonic do that...

the last generation were able to follow some movement,but not zoom in or out...I saw a beta last week,pretty neat..

the trouble is that it will switch to whatever is the biggest moving thing in its vision....

I appreciate all of the responses, the Bosch solution looks like the best...

That gets my vote too.

In my house, that would be me. :-)
