Introduction

With the OneTrack camera system, a moving object or a person can be tracked

automatically, without any manual operation or any operator intervention.

Upon detection of motion or objects in the image, the PTZ camera is positioned on the

detected subject and tracks it automatically, occasionally zooming in to catch close-up

shots.

The OneTrack can also perform object detection and recognition, making it possible to

react differently when a person or a vehicle appears in the scene.

With the OneTrack system, you can make use of full capabilities of PTZ cameras

without the need of an operator. The PTZ camera can operate independently by

tracking any moving subject, or can be installed as a slave of a fixed camera. When

installed with 1 or multiple fixed cameras, the object detection is performed on the

fixed cameras, while the PTZ will zoom and follow those objects.

The OneTrack controller is also a recording system. Video sequences recorded in

tracking mode have much less risk of « missing » the events, than static camera or

PTZ in tour mode.

This manual explains the process of installing the OneTrack controller.

Wave

3.1.1.1 Alarms

Input/output alarm card:

With the OneTrack system, it’s possible to send and receive alarm events. For

example, the OneTrack can generate an output alarm event when tracking occurs; it

can also execute an action when an alarm input event happens. Another example

would be that a preset can be called when a door opens.

If the OneTrack controller has an alarm I/O card, you can use both alarm inputs and

outputs. The card has 8 inputs and 8 outputs.

Wave

3.1.2 Local PTZ Camera

The OneTrack system currently supports many camera models. The supported models

are listed in the grid below.

Please consult your installation manual for the complete details of your PTZ camera

operations. The following instructions should be used only with the installation of your

OneTracksystem. These instructions do not replace your camera’s original manual.

Communication settings:

With your camera, you’ll have to make all these adjustments so that the OneTrack will

be able to communicate effectively with your PTZ.

Refer to the communication settings table (see the appendix).

Wave

Common settings:

These settings are common to any camera you use.

Communication settings:

Your camera must have these settings and make sure that, in the General menu of

the OneTrack, you have the same values as the ones found here.

Data Bits: 8

Stop Bits: 1

Parity: none

Flow Control: none

Set the camera to address 1:

Make sure that the camera is set to address 01. This address number corresponds

to the CAM ID in the OneTrack.

Set the camera termination:

Make sure that the camera termination is set to ON, unless you are using a daisy-

chain installation. In daisy-chain, only the last camera of the line should have the

termination to ON.

PTZ menu settings:

OSD:

In the On Screen Display (OSD) of your camera make sure that everything is at an

OFF position. When you look at your video feed from this camera, you must see

only the video without any position, numbers or zooming factor.

Digital zoom:

You have to make sure that the digital zoom of your camera is turned to OFF.

Connect the data cables:

Please refer to the following diagrams to see which type of connection you need to

use. For some pictures and notes of converters that we use, please refer to the section:

“RS-485 and RS-422 converters”.

3.1.3 Network Camera

The OneTrack supports many network cameras. The list of supported cameras is

available in the appendix.

Please consult your installation manual for the complete details of your PTZ camera

operations. The following instructions should be used only with the installation of your

OneTracksystem. These instructions do not replace your camera’s original manual.

Communication Parameters:

To communication with a network camera, you need the following information:

IP Address of the camera;

Communication Port (80 by default);

Username;

Password.

Camera Connection:

Connecting a network camera is really simple. You only need to connect the power

and then connect the RJ45 network cable.

AXIS Camera:

For the Axis cameras, it is necessary to set the resolution via a web browser. This can

be done by entering the IP address of the camera directly in your web browser

(example: http://192.168.1.25). In the Resolution section, it is important to specify a

resolution of at least 640x240. A lower resolution will result in poor detections by the

tracking system.

ONVIF Cameras:

Many onvif cameras are supported by the system. The supported video formats are

Jpeg and H.264. The video profiles can usually be modified via a web browser by

connecting to the IP address of the camera (example: http://192.168.1.25).

RTSP Cameras:

Many cameras offer a network video stream via the RTSP protocol. If the video stream

is in Jpeg or H.264, it is possible to use the camera with the system. For the rtsp

address of the camera, please refer to the camera manufacturer.
