Hello,
I have problems configuring my Redscan RLS3060L and AXIS 6045-E Mk II PTZ. In the XProtect Corporate management client I have added my Axis camera and the RLS3060L and they all work. Now I am trying to configure my RLS3060L and Camera in the following way: When the RLS3060 detects motion I want my camera to turn to that position and starts recording and following the intruder/zoom on the intruder. How can I do this? I have tried to configure it with the rules and events, but I can’t seem to fix it.
Regards,
Kees Kist
I will have to do a bit of guesswork here, because I do neither know the Redscan nor the Axis cam very well.
But I assume you could do it like this: As far as I remember, you can define “zones” on the Redscan. If motion is detected in one of the zones, a particular event is triggered which you can use to position the Axis camera. It will be a coarse positioning only because AFAIR the Redscan has only 4 or 6 zones. So, you cannot make the Axis camera follow the intruder in a smooth manner.
What you could inevstigate: Check if the Axis camera can produce metadata (bounding boxes). Use these metadata to calculate the position of the intruder. Based on the calculated position, issue PTZ commands to make the Axis cam follow the intruder. But you would have to write your own SDK application to achieve this.
You could also investigate if the camera is able to do an autonomous tracking. Some cameras have rather advances built-in video analysis.
