Auto Tracking PTZ Controller
The SightLogix SightTracker is a GPS-based auto tracking PTZ controller that automatically positions a PTZ camera to zoom and follow a detected target using the geo-registered target and tracking information provided by SightLogix SightSensors.
SightTracker integrates PTZ camera control, real-time GPS coordinate mapping, and video encoding and compression within a ruggedized, NEMA4X enclosure.
When steered by an associated SightSensor, SightTracker automatically zooms PTZ cameras for up-close identification details. Detected targets are displayed on the SightMonitor topology map, providing the event location for time-critical decisions while recording important detail for forensic use.
| Feature | Benefit |
| Automatically positions PTZ cameras to zoom and follow targets that violate policies using their GPS positions as determined by SightSensors | Solves the challenge of manually locating a detected alarm with a PTZ camera over large outdoor areas |
| Interfaces with PTZ cameras using Pelco™ D protocol via a physical EIA RS-422 interface | Enhances the functionality of new or existing PTZ assets with automated target tracking |
| Detected targets and PTZ camera fields of view are dynamically updated within the SightMonitor display system’s topology map as the camera zooms or pans | Quickly identify the location and movement of security violations, even over large outdoor areas |
| Configurable for tracking priority, including first target acquired, newest target, closest target, fastest moving target, and largest target | Automatically track the most relevant targets for your application |
| Adjustable optical zoom setting automatically enlarges or reduces target magnification within the field of view | Continual up-close view of tracked objects provides sufficient detail (minimum 10% of the screen) for identification and forensic analysis |
| A single SightSensor can control multiple SightTracker/PTZ cameras | Detect and follow multiple divergent objects within a large scene |
| 10/100 Ethernet with support for satellite, cellular, and full broadband communications; AES 256 bit encryption and SSL protocol | Flexible and secure communications |
| Seamless integration with third-party PTZ cameras. | Open-system design supports leading industry systems. Refer to SightLogix Third Party Compatibility List for details. |
| Ruggedized (NEMA-4X) enclosure; rugged, multi-contact sealed Mil-C electrical connector | Built to withstand outdoor elements (rain, snow, humidity, sand, temperature extremes) for extended life |
