5 Introduction
The Predator Radar is a fully automated camera. It combines the features of the Predator HD camera with a
long range, high resolution radar.
The system, once configured, is designed to operate without user intervention. The radar will continuously scan
over 360 degrees looking for targets in the areas specified during setup. Once a target is detected the radar
system will lock onto it and track it. Assuming this target breaks one or more of the configured rules the radar
will also task the camera to follow the target.
The radar can track up to 40 targets simultaneously. The system will control the camera to share its viewing
time amongst all of the targets its tracking. Typically, the camera will follow a target for 10 seconds before
moving onto the next. Priorities can be configured to ensure the camera spends more time following targets
considered higher threat.
However, like a normal Predator HD, the system fully supports a standard ONVIF connection so users can
manually control the camera through any ONVIF compliant software, such as a VMS. A connected ONVIF
application will always have priority over the radar when both systems are attempting to control the camera.
6 Terminology
See Appendix 1 for a complete list of terminology and associated explanations.
7 Connecting to the Radar
The radar is configured via a web interface. The following browsers are supported:
Ser Browser Version
1 10 or later Required for camera configuration
2 42 or later
The default IP address for the radar is 192.168.1.188. To access the radar:
• Ensure your PC is connected to the network and in the same IP address range as the radar.
• Enter the IP address into the browser.
• Choose to ignore any certificate warnings if they occur. See Section 18 for more information on
security certificates.
• Assuming the connection is good, the main status page will be displayed:

8 Logging into the Radar
To log into the radar:

• Select the Login button.
• Enter the username and password and select Login.
• The default username is User and the default password 9999.
• Once logged in additional pages and options will be available. When available select the 360 Vision
button.
• On entering the 360 setup section the interface will pull down the radar data so you can view the
surrounding area.
!
Note: If using a laptop then we would recommend using a mouse to continue the setup. It is much easier
creating and editing areas with a mouse compared to using a trackpad.
Note: You can change the user password at any time. We would strongly recommend that the default password
! is changed once the system is operational. The password can be changed on the System Configuration page
once you have logged in.
9 Quick Setup Guide
To get the system up and running quickly there are 2 key steps to complete:
1. Identify key features in the radar image.

2. Adjust the default detection zone.
9.1 Identifying Key Features on the Radar Image
You will need to identify key features from your site so you can place your detection zones in the correct
locations. This enables you to relate your site to what you are seeing in the radar image.

To identify features within the radar image can be difficult if you are not familiar with radar data. However, to
assist you, you can select a point on the image and task the camera to move there to show you what it is. This
is achieved by simply right-clicking anywhere on the radar image.
! Note: The right click camera move feature is disabled whilst you are editing.
To identify a feature:
• Find a feature in the radar image that might be a tree or other obvious marker.
• Right click on it – a red marker will appear and the camera will move to this location.
Tree?
• Check the camera image and ensure you have selected the object you anticipated.
Tree - Confirmed
To view the camera output you can use a RTSP/H264 compatible viewer such as VLC or other ONVIF
compliant video viewers. If these are not available, then you can use the live video feature available through the
web configuration on the camera.

!
Note: When you move the camera into a detection area, if they are set, it will apply the area specific height and
zoom adjustments. Please refer to section11.5 for more information on using zone based camera adjustments.
If you want to compare the camera position without adjustments, you can hold the Ctrl key whilst right clicking in
the UI to move the camera.
Once you have related your site to the radar image you are ready to draw your detection zone.
9.2 Adjust the Detection Zone
By default, the Predator Radar ships with a single active zone. To keep the setup simple this zone covers most
of the radar’s detection range. This means the system is ready to start tracking as soon as it’s powered up.
Default Zone
Any targets appearing in Zone 1 will be tracked and the camera will be tasked to follow them using the default
timeshare behaviour.
9.2.1 Changing the Default Detection Zone
• Select Zone 1 from the menu.

• Select Edit Zone.
• The zone will change into edit mode and you will see anchor points on the corners of the zone and
vertex nodes in between. You will also see more options appear at the bottom:
Stop
Refresh Hide or Show
Apply Commit Changes Editing/
Radar Configured
Changes to Disk Changes Cancel
Image Exclusion
Changes

Vertex Node
Anchor Point
• You can now drag the anchor points around to change the shape of the zone.
• If the shape needs to be more complex, then you add additional anchor points by clicking on the
vertex nodes. This will turn it into an anchor point so it can be dragged around. You can remove
anchor points by right-clicking on them.
Drag Anchor Point or

right click to remove it
Click Vertex Node

to create new
Anchor Point
• To move the entire zone, hold down Ctrl key and then click and drag anywhere in the zone. The
entire zone will move with the mouse.
• Draw the zone around your area of detection. You should be able to identify key features of your site
from the radar image. This should help you locate your zone.
• You can zoom in and pan the image around to help you draw your zone more accurately. Use the
mouse wheel to zoom in and out and use the cursor keys to pan.
• Once complete select Apply followed by Commit Changes.
9.3 Set the Camera Height
The default camera height is set to 4m, which is the optimal operating height for the radar. However, if the
unit has been installed at a different height then this needs to be configured in the settings. The height
is measured from the ground to the camera lens. This setting will affect the camera orientation when
tracking targets so it is important that it’s as accurate as possible. To change the camera height:
• Select Advanced from the left-hand menu

• Adjust the camera height (in metres)
• Select Apply & Commit Changes
9.4 System Ready!
The system will now start tracking moving targets in your modified detection area. You have a single detection
zone with default settings. This means:
• It will track all moving objects in the zone 24x7

• The camera will timeshare between targets, if there is more than 1
• The sensitivity is set to medium which is suitable for 99% of situations
! Note: Having completed the quick setup, we would always recommend that you conduct a “walk test”. This
involves having one or more people walk around your chosen detection areas and ensure that the camera
reliably follows the targets. Particular attention should be paid to areas where you consider the detection to be
the most difficult.
10 Additional Configuration Options
Once you have configured the Predator Radar to detect and track targets in the default zone, there are a few
additional configuration options that may be required.
10.1 Changing the System Network Settings
By default, the camera and radar use the following IP addresses:
• Camera 192.168.1.187/24
• Radar 192.168.1.188/24
!
Note: To access both the camera and the radar from another computer, the PC must be configured to have an
IP address within the same range, but not the same. The subnet is /24 which is the same as 255.255.255.0. For
example, a good IP address for a PC being used to connect to the Predator Radar would be 192.168.1.100.
10.1.1 Change the Camera Network Settings
Please refer to the Predator camera documentation on how to change the camera network settings. Note that
the default IP address is 192.168.1.187 and the default username / password is admin / 9999.
10.1.2 Changing the Camera IP Address for the Radar
If you change the IP address of the camera, then the radar needs to know what this new IP address is so the
two devices can talk to one another. The default address is the default IP address of the camera 192.168.1.187.
If you change the camera IP address, you can update this address in the radar configuration by:
• Login to the radar.

• Navigate to the 360 Vision section.
• Select Advanced from the left-hand menu.
• Update the Camera IP Address with the new camera address.
• Select Apply & Commit Changes.

• Finally select Link Reset – this will reset the camera link.

10.1.3 Change the Radar Network Settings
The radar network settings must match the camera settings. The radar needs to be in the same subnet. The
standard convention is to set the radar to have an IP address one above the camera. For example, the default
camera address is 192.168.1.187 and the radar is 192.168.1.188. To change the IP address:
• Login to the radar.

• Navigate to the System Configuration page.
• Set the IP Address, subnet mask and gateway.
Network
Settings
• After setting IP details, select Apply followed by Commit Changes

• Then reboot the radar to complete the new network settings change
• Confirm reboot when prompted.
The system will now reboot using the new IP address.
! Note: In order to access the user interface again, you will need to change the browser address to match the
new IP address.

10.2 Activating Additional Zones
By default, only Zone 1 is active on the Predator Radar. There are a total of four detection zones available.
Zones 2-4 can be enabled as required. Please refer to Section 11 to understand the full benefit of using multiple
zones.
10.2.1 To Activate or Deactivate a Zone
• Select the desired zone from the menu. If already active, the selected zone is outlined in pink. If not
active, you will see a message to that affect.
• Select Edit Details.

• Clear the Active checkbox to deactivate, select to activate.
Select/Clear
Active
• Select Apply and then Commit Changes and Close.

• If activating, you can now adjust the zone’s size and shape to meet your detection needs. See
section 9.2.

• When using multiple areas, you can select the Detection tab to view all the currently active areas at the
same time.

11 Using Multiple Detection Zones
The Predator Radar has 4 detection zones. By default, only the first zone is active. The remaining zones can be
activated as required. The advantages of using multiple zones are as follows:
11.1 Creating a Non-Contiguous Detection Zone
You may want the camera to cover a wide area but there are significant gaps which do not need covering or are
inaccessible. In this situation you can activate multiple detection zones and place them only on the areas that
you want to watch. For example, a site which has a busy road running through it – you may want to watch both
sides of the road but not the road itself, so the setup may look like this:
Zone 1
Radar
Highway
Zone 2
11.2 Creating Detection Zones with Different Priorities
Although the camera can only follow one target at a time the radar can track up to
40 targets concurrently across a large area. To better utilise the camera you can prioritise different parts of
the site using the detection zones. By allocating a higher priority to a zone you will force the camera to focus
on targets in that zone before moving to other zones of lower priority. See Section 12 for more details on
configuring priority.
For example, you may have a site with a manned gate and a perimeter fence, but certain parts of the fence
are lower and easier to climb. You could lower the priority of the zone around the gate because it’s manned but
have the highest priority around the low fence, so setup like this:

Zone 2
Nomal Priority (2)
Manned
Gate
Zone 1 Zone 4
Low Low High
Priority Radar Priority
Fence
(4) (1)
Zone 3
Nomal Priority (2)
In this scenario, targets moving into Zone 4 would receive higher priority from the camera and therefore targets
in other zones would be ignored until this high threat area is clear. Zones 2 & 3 are higher than 1 so they’ll be
next in the order of priority.
11.3 Creating Detection Zones with Different Rules
A rule can be applied to each zone. A rule provides some basic criteria that must be met before the camera is
tasked to follow the target. For example, speed could be used as a rule so that only targets going slower than
a specified speed trigger the camera to follow them. See Section 13 for more information on how to configure
rules. This powerful feature enables you to configure the Predator Radar to look for different behaviours in
different areas. Using the example of the road running through our secure site, we could setup the following:
Zone 2
Direction Rule
Zone 1
5
Highway Speed Rule
Radar
Zone 3
Direction Rule
Zone 1: Zone 1 is configured to the trigger the camera only if a target is moving slower than 5Kph. This means
the Predator Radar will ignore fast moving traffic as it passes through the site. This allows the camera to only
focus on targets which represent a threat.
Zone 2 & 3: Zone 2 and 3 are configured to only trigger the camera if someone is moving away from road. It will
not trigger if someone is moving towards the road. This means the Predator Radar will focus on targets which
have come from the road, possibly from slow or stopped vehicles which should have already triggered the
camera in zone 1.

11.4 Creating Detection Zones with Different Sensitivity
By default, every zone is set to a sensitivity setting of medium. The sensitivity settings control the overall
tracking capability of the radar. There are three settings, High, Medium and Low. See Section 12 for more
information on these sensitivity settings. In 99% of cases, the medium setting will work well and should not be
changed. However, in some very specific circumstances it may be necessary to increase or decrease sensitivity.
Typically, high sensitivity can be used in areas where the radar is struggling to track targets. This could be for
a number of reasons, but a typical example would be where targets are partially obscured because the ground
drops away, so the radar can only see the top half of a target. This makes it harder for the radar to detect the
target and therefore increasing sensitivity will help.
Only 50% on the person can be

seen by the radar. Increasing
sensitivity will help the radar detect
this partially obscured target
Drop in Ground
Note: The High sensitivity setting can lead to a significant increase in false alarms making the system less
! effective as a fully automated camera. Therefore, it is recommended that High sensitivity is used only when
required, is only used in small zones where the extra detection capability is required and is tested thoroughly
over a period of time to ascertain where the false alarm rate is acceptable.
The reverse is true of using low sensitivity. This setting will it make it harder for the radar to detect targets. This
can be used in areas where normal targets, such as people and vehicles are being tracked well, but you are
experiencing nuisance or false alarms. Reducing sensitivity will help exclude smaller targets, such as wildlife.
! Note: Reducing sensitivity may have an impact on the detection and tracking of genuine targets. So this setting
should only be used when required, only used in small zones where the detection capability is better than
required and is tested thoroughly over a period of time to ascertain where the detection and tracking remains
acceptable.
An example of using different zones for varying levels of sensitivity might look like this:
Zone 3
(High)
Lower
Ground
Secure
Building
Radar
Vegetation
Zone 2 Zone 1(Low)
(Medium)
Trees

Zone 1: Low Sensitivity – tracking is very good here because it’s close to the radar, but we have nuisance
alarms from the heavy vegetation so we have set a lower sensitivity to reduce the unnecessary alerts.
Zone 2: Medium Sensitivity – this is the default settings and will work for most of the site.
Zone 3: High Sensitivity – this area is lower than the main detection zone (zone 2) and therefore has been set
to be more sensitive. Note that the area is quite small and therefore is suitable for the higher sensitivity setting.
In addition, you’ll note that the main zone excludes the trees. Typically, the radar will struggle to detect in or
through trees, yet the trees themselves can cause nuisance alarms, so in this case they are not covered by a
detection zone.
11.5 Creating Detection Zones with Different Camera Settings
The radar has no concept of target height therefore the camera cannot be adjusted for changes in height of the
targets. This means in circumstances where the height of the target changes because the ground is lower or
higher than Predator Radar, the camera may not be properly aligned to the target and the image will only show
part of the person or vehicle.
Examples of poor camera tracking without any height adjustments:
Drop in Ground Rise in Ground
To help overcome these issues each detection area supports the following camera adjustment options:
• Height Offset – Allows the user to set a height offset, in metres, of the detection area relative to the height of
the camera. For example, if the detection you wish to cover is 2m above the camera you would enter a value of
2m. If it was 2m below you would enter -2m.
• Zoom Factor – Allows the user to set a factor of the automatically calculated zoom. This enables the zoom
to be more relaxed in areas where the camera is not precisely aligned and zooming in too much would result in
missing the target. For example, setting the zoom factor to 0.5 would mean reducing the auto-calculated zoom
by 50% and therefore would maintain a wider field of view ensuring you see more of the target.
If required both properties can be used together to achieve the desired result. As these settings are assigned
to a detection zone they will take affect the moment a target moves in to the area. See Section 12 for more
information.
The following examples illustrate solutions using the zoom factor and height offset:
Zoom 50%
Offset = +2m
Drop in Ground Rise in Ground

Using a zoom factor of 0.5 (50% of Setting the zone offset to 2m means
original) we can see twice as much of the camera tilts up when tracking in this
the target zone

!
Note: When adjusting the height offset and zoom factor, you can test your settings by righting clicking in the UI
to manually move the camera. When you move the camera into a detection area it will apply these adjustments.
If you want to compare the camera position without adjustments, you can hold the Ctrl key whilst right clicking in
the UI to move the camera.
12 Configuring Zone Settings
Each zone can be customised to match your security requirements. The following options are available:
12.1 Zone Settings
12.1.1 Area Name
The user defined name for your zone.
12.1.2 Sensitivity
The tracking sensitivity of the radar in this zone. There are three options:
• High – the most sensitive setting. Must be used carefully because this option will significantly
increase the likelihood of false and nuisance alarms. It can be used effectively in small areas to
tackle specific problems where tracking is poor.
• Medium – this is the default setting. This option has been configured to cope with 99% of sites where
the Predator Radar will be used. This is the recommended setting for all zones.
• Low – this setting is the least sensitive. This setting can be used in areas where the tracking is very
good but the radar has too much information so it’s tracking everything including undesirable targets
such as moving vegetation and small animals. Again it must be used with caution because using this
setting could degrade the overall tracking performance in the selected zone.
The medium setting is always recommended but should the other options be needed they must only be applied
in the specific areas they are required using the smallest zone size possible.
12.1.3 Zoom Factor
The zoom factor is applied to the automatic zoom level to either increase or decrease the field of view within
the zone when the camera is tracking targets. This can help keep targets within the camera’s video frame when
the camera alignment is poor due to changes in the ground height or the size of the object being tracked. By
default, the value is zero. It can set at any value between 0 and 2. For example a value of 0.1 will reduce the
automatic zoom to 10% of its original value. See Section 11.5 for more information.
12.1.4 Camera Height Offset
Like the zoom factor, the camera height offset also helps adjust the camera position to improve the alignment
in each zone. In this case the height adjustment will affect the tilt of the camera, enabling the camera to adjust
to ground height differences in different zones. So setting a camera height offset of 5m means the camera will
assume that all targets in this zone are 5m above the ground level of the Predator Radar – which means it will
tilt up the required amount to track them correctly. Using a value of -5m would have the reverse affect and the
camera will assume you are looking at targets lower than ground level and will tilt the camera down in this zone.
By default, this value is zero (no offset). It can support values from -20m to +20m. See Section 11.5 for more
information.
12.1.5 Colour
This allows you to change the colour of each zone for easier identification in the user interface. The colour
setting includes transparency and we would always recommend applying a level of transparency that enables
you to still the see the radar data underneath the zone. By default, the zones do not have any colour.
12.1.6 Active
This either activates or deactivates the zone. When activated the radar will detect and track any targets in this
zone and task the camera based on the rule settings. When inactive the zone will be ignored by the radar and
will have no impact on the camera control. By default, only zone 1 is active.
12.1.7 Speed Rule
The speed rule enables you to configure a speed check to be performed on all targets in this zone. If the speed
check is enabled, then the camera will only be tasked if the speed conditions are true. For example, if you set
a speed rule that looks for all targets moving faster than 5m/s then the camera will only be tasked to move and
follow targets going faster than 5m/s. This rules also works in conjunction with the direction rule. By default, this
rule is set to “Any” which means that no speed checks are performed. See Section 13 for more information.
12.1.8 Direction Rule
The direction rule enables you to configure a direction check to be performed on all targets in this zone. If the
direction check is enabled, then the camera will only be tasked if the direction conditions are true. For example,
if you can specify that the camera only follows targets which are moving between 0 and 90 degrees. The
camera will ignore other targets in this zone which are not moving in that direction. By default, this rule is set to
“Any” which means that no direction checks are performed.
!
Note: These rules can be used individually or together. When used together then both the speed and direction
conditions must be true before the camera is tasked to follow the target. See Section 13 for more information.
12.1.9 Break Allowance
The break allowance provides a limit on how often the speed and direction rules can be broken before the
camera is tasked to look at the target. By default, this value is 1, so the first time the rule conditions are met,
the camera will start following the target. If you increase the break count, then the radar has to see the target
breaking the rules that number of times. The radar gets a target update every half second because it rotates
twice a second (2Hz). A break count of 2 means it will take a second to activate the camera because the radar
will need to see the target break the rules for 2 rotations. By default, this value is 1. See Section 13 for more
information.
12.1.10 Priority
Priority allows you to configure the camera priority for each zone. The radar will continuously track and monitor
targets over 360 degrees, however the camera can only follow one target at a time. Therefore, to ensure the
camera is looking at the most important target, or highest threat, it will prioritise the target selection based on
the zone. The options are priority 1 – 4 where 1 is the highest. This enables each zone to have its own priority
or zones can share the same priority level. The default priority level is 2.

!
Note: Where zones share the same priority the camera will arbitrarily select targets to follow based on the
current target selection mode. However, it will still prioritise both zones over any other zones with a lower
priority. Where zones have different priorities but overlap, the targets appearing in this overlap area will always
be considered to be in the highest priority area. To avoid confusion, we would not recommend the use of
overlapping areas.
12.1.11 Schedules
Each zone supports four schedules. These schedules apply to the active state of the zone and the rule logic.
Whenever a schedule is applied, the zone will only task the camera to follow a target if one or more of the
schedules are active. This is how the rules and schedules affect the camera behaviour:
Rules Rules Schedule(s) Schedule(s)

Zone Result
Configured Broken Configured Active
Inactive N/A N/A N/A N/A No following
Active No N/A No N/A Follow targets
Active Yes No No N/A No following
Active Yes Yes No N/A Follow targets
Active No N/A Yes No No following
Active No N/A Yes Yes Follow targets
Active Yes No Yes No No following
Active Yes Yes Yes No No following
Active Yes Yes Yes Yes Follow targets
A schedule is deemed to be active when the current date and time fall within the configured schedule
parameters. The schedule will always control the overall status of the zone even if rules are configured. Where
more than one schedule is configured, the zone will be active if any of the schedules are active.
Typical examples of schedules include the following:
• The zone is only active between 18:00 – 07:00 for every day of the year (night time).
• The zone is only active Mon – Fri (working week only)
• The zone will be inactive between 14:00 – 16:00 next Friday (one off event)
For more information on configuring schedules, see Section 14.
13 Configuring Zone Rules
Each detection zone can support two rule settings, one for the speed the other for direction. Each rule can be
used alone or both can be used together.
Each rule allows the system to check the speed and direction against values you provide. You can check for
target speed and direction less than or greater than those you specify or you can check for values within a given
range.
If the rules match, then the rule is considered “broken” and the camera will be tasked to follow the target. If the
rules do not match, then the camera will not be tasked and the target will be ignored.
In addition to the value check, each rule includes a break count. This break count tells the rule engine how
many times the rule must be broken before the camera is tasked. This provides a level of confidence that the
target is definitely breaking the rule over several sightings before the camera is tasked to follow. See Section
13.4.

Note: If either rule is not configured, i.e. set to “Any” then these steps are missed and the process moves onto
the next check. If neither rule is configured, then the process jumps from step 1 to step 5. If no schedules are
configured, then this step is bypassed as well. If both rules are configured, then both must be broken to trigger
the camera.
13.2 Configuring the Speed Rule
To add a speed rule to a zone:
• Select the required zone.

• From the Speed drop down list, select the required comparator (i.e. “Is Smaller Than”).
• Enter the required value in the Start Speed and End Speed fields. The speed values are entered in
metres per second (m/s).
• Click Apply followed by Commit Changes.
In the example above, the camera will only be tasked if a target is detected moving at speeds below 4m/s. To
remove this rule check, simply return the speed check to Any.
!
Note: If you select a comparator that only requires a single value (i.e. “Is Smaller Than” or “Is Greater Than”)
then you will only see the Start Speed field. If you select one which requires two fields (i.e. “Is Between”) then
you will see both the Start Speed and End Speed.
13.3 Configuring the Direction Rule
To add a direction rule to a zone:

• From the Direction drop down list, select the required comparator (i.e. “Is Between”).

• Enter the required value for the fields Start Angle and End Angle. The directions are entered in
degrees.
• Click Apply followed by Commit Changes.
In the example above, the camera will only be tasked if the target is moving in a direction between 5 and 180
degrees.
!
Note: Although there are comparators that use a single angle (i.e. “Is Greater Than”), in practise, these are less
useful than those which require a start and end direction. When a target is moving they do not keep to a single
bearing, even when moving very straight, therefore we would always recommend using either “Is Between” or
“Is Outside”.
13.3.1 How to Identify the Direction Required?
It can be awkward to work out in which direction you want the rule to be active. Remember that the direction
rule covers the course of the target, not the angle from the radar to the track:
Incorrect Correct
Direction is not from the radar to Direction is based on the direction
the target that the target is moving in
The easiest method to identify which angles / directions you want to use is by allowing the Predator Radar
to track targets without the direction rule enabled. Whenever a target is tracked by the radar the On Screen
Display (OSD) will show the current course/direction of the target:

Target Course
As can be seen from the image above, the course of the target is displayed in the OSD, in this case the person
is walking in a direction of 46.5 degrees. Use this information to establish the parameters of your direction rule.
13.4 Using the Break Count

The break count provides a very useful check to avoid moving the camera to follow a target that you are not
interested in. So for example, a person may walk into your detection zone, but immediately walk out again and
never return. This may happen frequently when you have zones close to public areas. By increasing the break
count you can ignore momentary incursions into your security zones.
The break count can also serve as a means to reduce false alarms. The break allowance can act as a
“confidence level”, ensuring that the camera is only tasked when the rule has been broken by a consistent
target which we have seen over several seconds.
14 Configuring Schedules
A schedule controls the active status of a zone. If schedules are used on a zone, then than that zone can only
task the camera to follow a target during the scheduled times.
Each zone supports four schedules and the zone is considered active if any of the schedules are active. The
schedule is considered active if the current date and time falls within the scheduled parameters. All schedules
are based on local time
!
Note: At the moment all times on the radar are in UTC (GMT+0). It is expected that this will be improved on a
future release to include local time settings.
To enter a schedule:

• Select Edit on the required schedule (1 – 4)

• Change the description to something more meaningful if required.

• Enter the required start and end dates. If you wish the schedule to run indefinitely just enter a date a
long time into the future.
• Ensure the Enabled option is selected.
• Enter the start and end times during which you want the schedule to be active. This time apply with to
each 24-hour period.
• Select how you want this schedule to repeat. The options are:
a. Once – the schedule will be active once, based on the start date and time specified.
b. Daily – the schedule will be active everyday between the specified times from the give start
date
c. Weekly – the schedule will apply on specific days of the week between the times and dates
specified. When this option is selected you are given a list of weekdays to select from. You can
select one or more.
d. Monthly – the schedule will apply on specific days of the month between the times and dates
specified. When this option is selected you are given a list of days of the month to select from. You
can select

• Use the Invert option if you want the schedule to be active OUTSIDE the times you have specified.
Sometime it is easier to say when the you want the zone to be inactive rather than active.
• Select Save when complete.
• Now back on the zone details page – select Apply & Commit Changes
• The schedule is now configured. Repeat this on additional schedules if required.
15 Understanding How the Camera Selects Targets
The radar can track up to 40 targets simultaneously, but the camera can only look at a single target at a time.
To ensure the camera is controlled in the most efficient way and provide the operators with as much visibility of
the targets as possible, the Predator Radar supports two control modes, Oldest and Closest.
In both modes the camera will follow the target for approximately 10 seconds before it switches to the next
target. It will then follow this new target for 10 seconds and then move to the next …. and so on. This is usually
referred to as “Time Sharing”.
What the modes control, is the logic for selecting the next target.
15.1 Oldest Control Mode
In this mode the camera will follow the first target which meets the criteria (zone, rule & schedule). If further
targets are detected, then after 10 seconds it will move to the next oldest target. In other words, the target which
the radar has been tracking for the longest time excluding the current target. Once a target has been followed
for 10 seconds its becomes a “viewed” track and drops to the bottom of the selection list.
This behaviour is repeated until it comes back around to the original “viewed” track and then it starts all over
again.

1
1st Detected 2nd Detected

1st to be followed for 10s 2nd to be followed for 10s
Predator Radar
3rd Detected
Last to be followed for 10s
3

A target arrives in the zone and triggers the rule. Its followed by the camera immediately. After 6 seconds
another target arrives, followed by another shortly after that. Once the camera has followed the first target for 10
seconds, it moves to the next oldest, which in this case is target 2. It follows this for 10 seconds and then moves
to the next oldest which is now target 3. Once this has been followed for 10 seconds it looks for the oldest again
which brings the camera back to target 1.
15.2 Closest Control Mode
In this mode the camera will follow the first target which meets the criteria (zone, rule & schedule). If further
targets are detected, then after 10 seconds the camera will move to the closest target. The closest target is
assessed as the one closest to the Predator Radar at the point it checks. Once this target has been followed
for 10 seconds then the camera will again look for the closest target. This continues for as long as there are
suitable targets to follow.
Note: After 10 seconds if the current target is still the closest target then the camera will not switch targets, it
! will always remain with the closest. However, the camera will not switch during a 10 second time slot, even if
the followed target is no longer the closest. This is to stop the camera jumping around when you have multiple
targets which may alternate as the closest target.
1st Detected @ 120m

1st to be followed for 10s 1
2nd Detected @ 70m

2nd to be followed for 10s
2
Predator Radar
A target arrives in the zone at 120m and triggers the rule. Its followed by the camera immediately. After 6
seconds another target arrives at 70m and moves towards the camera. After 10 seconds the camera looks for
the closest target – this is the second target at 70m and therefore switches to the closer target.
2nd Detected
Followed for a further 10

because it’s not the closest.
3
Predator Radar
After following the second target for 10 seconds, the camera looks for a closer target, there isn’t one, so the
camera continues to following the same target for a further 10 seconds. The closer target is always followed.

16 Using Exclusion Areas
Exclusion areas provide the ability to supress target detection in specific areas. An exclusion area will prevent
tracks being detected, but it will also stop tracking existing targets that move into an exclusion area.
16.1 Why use Exclusion Areas?
Exclusion areas can be used to exclude parts of a large detection zone where the radar maybe generating
unwanted nuisance alarms. For example, you may have a one or more trees in the middle of a detection zone,
which when the wind blows, cause nuisance alarms. By placing an exclusion area over these trees you will stop
any targets being generated and hence stop the unwanted alarms.
Another possible use is privacy. By using an exclusion zone, you will prevent tracking of targets which in turn
will ensure the camera is never triggered to follow targets in this area. This will be useful if you have certain
areas where you do not want the camera to look or record.
An example of using exclusion areas:
Zone 1
Exclusion Area 2
Exclusion Area 1 (Vegetation)
(Trees)
The exclusions have been placed over the areas that may cause nuisance alarms. The areas are kept to the
minimum required size to avoid excluding the detection zone unnecessarily.
! Note: Although these exclusions will supress target detection, it will still detect and track them before they enter
the area and when the leave. This will reduce the overall impact of the exclusions.

16.2 Adding an Exclusion Area
Adding an exclusion area is identical to adding and editing a detection zone. Please refer to Section 9.2 for
more information. There are 10 areas you can activate and adjust as required. The process is as follows:
• Select the required exclusion zone.
• Select Enable
• The exclusion zone will now be activated and displayed on the radar image.
• Select Edit Zone to change the shape of the area.

• Drag the nodes around and add additional nodes as required to create the desired shape.

• The detection zones are still visible, they are displayed as transparent shadows to avoid obscuring
the detail of the radar image, but visible enough to aid you with locating the exclusion areas.
Existing
Detection Zone
• Once complete, select Apply followed by Commit Changes.

• The exclusion zone will now be active and no tracks will be created in this area.
• Repeats steps 1-7 to create additional exclusions zones as required.

17 Configuring Advanced Settings
The advanced settings include some important global setup parameters. Typically, they do not need to be
changed once the unit is commissioned and operational, however they must be configured correctly as part of
the setup process.
17.1 Advanced Settings
17.1.1 Camera IP Address
This is the IP address of the camera head within the Predator Radar unit. This setting must be updated if the
IP address of the camera is changed. When this address is changed and the settings saved, you must always
select Link Reset.
17.1.2 Behaviour
This is the camera behaviour. The default behaviour is Oldest. See Section 15 for more information.
17.1.3 Follow Count
This is how long the camera stays following a target before it moves to another. Each count is ~0.8 second,
therefore a count of 12 is ~10 seconds. 12 is the default value.
!
Note: If you make this count too small then the camera will jump rapidly from target to target making it very
difficult to monitor what is happening. If you make it too large, then the camera will stay on one target for a long
time and you run the risk that other targets will never be viewed by the camera.
17.1.4 Zoom Factor

This is the global zoom factor. It’s a value from 0.01 to 2. A value of 1 would not alter the automatic zoom
calculation. 0.5 would reduce the automatic zoom value by 50% (wider zoom) and 2 would double the zoom
(narrower zoom). By default, the zoom factor is 0.8 which means the system will reduce the automatic zoom
calculation by 20%. This means the zoom is slightly less aggressive and you see more of the target and the
surrounding area. This also means it is more tolerant to alignment problems where the camera is struggling to
keep the target in the video frame. If alignment is good you can increase the zoom factor back to 1.
! Note: Each zone can have its own zoom factor to overcome alignment issues in specific areas. See Section
11.5 for more details.

17.1.5 Camera Height
This is the height of the camera above the ground in metres. This needs to be reasonable accurate to ensure
the camera alignment is good when its following targets. By default, this is 4m which is the optimum mounting
height for the radar.
17.1.6 Speed
These are the units in which you want to display speed on the On Screen Display (OSD)
for the target being followed.
17.1.7 Link Reset
This button will force a communication link reset between the radar and the camera. This must be used when
the camera IP address is updated but it can also be used when troubleshooting if required.
18 Security Certificates
The Predator Radar configuration interface is accessed over a secure HTTP link (using SSL). In order for this to
be secure your browser and the radar have to exchange certificates. Because this certificate has been supplied
by the radar manufacturer it is not recognised by your browser. This leads to security warnings, like these:

You can download a root certificate from the radar and install on your PC. This will tell your browser to trust the
radar’s certificate. To install the certificate in Windows:
• Enter the radar’s IP address into the browser

• When prompted continue past the security warnings:
a. Internet Explorer – click Continue to this website.
b. Chrome – click Advanced then click Proceed to <IP Address>.
• You will now see the status page. At the bottom, click on the link Download Root Certificate.
• Save the certificate to disk

• Right click on the certificate and select Install Certificate.
• You may need to select Open to continue if prompted, but you should now be in the Certificate Import
Wizard.
• Select Next
• Select the option Place all certificates in the following store
• Select Browse and select the Trusted Root Certification Authorities

• Select OK and then Next.

• Select Finish to complete the wizard.
• You will see a dialog telling you the import has been successful.
Now the certificate is installed you will no longer get the warnings when opening the Predator Radar
configuration interface. The browser should also not show warning in address bar and should indicate the link is
secure:
Internet Explorer
Google Chrome
!
Note: Google Chrome will still show a red line through the HTTPS in the address bar. This is nothing to worry
about, but indicates that the root certificate cannot be verified using an online authority.

Glossary
Break Count This count is the number of times a target can be seen breaking a rule before any
action is taken.
Camera This refers to the Predator HD head within the Predator system.
Closest Behaviour A method used by the camera to select the next target to follow. Closest means that
the camera will choose the closest target to the Predator Radar system.
Clutter Clutter refers to all stationary objects within the radar detection areas. This will
include things like buildings, trees, fences, hedges and plants. Clutter can impede the
performance of the radar so where possible it should be excluded from the detection
zones.
Exclusion Zone An exclusion zone is an area where you do not want the radar to detect targets.
Height Offset An offset is + / - from the height at the base of the Predator Radar. Height offsets can
be used in each zone to adjust the camera tilt when following targets.
Oldest Behaviour A method used by the camera to select the next target to follow. Oldest means that
the camera will choose the target which has not been viewed for the longest time.
Radar This refers to the millimetre wave radar within the Predator Radar system.
Rule A rule is a check performed on each target in a zone. If the criteria of the rule (i.e.
speed or direction) is met, then the rule is considered “broken” and the camera can
be tasked.
Target A target is moving object, typically a person or vehicle, that the radar is tracking.
Time share The method by which a camera will automatically move from one target to another
after a period of time enabling each target to be viewed in turn.
Track Track is another name for a target.
Zoom Factor The zoom factor is a number to multiply with the automatic zoom calculation. If the
zoom factor is less than 1 then the result will be a smaller zoom (wider angle),
however, if its greater than 1 then the result will be a larger zoom (narrow angle).
Zone A detection and alarm area. The radar will look for targets in zones and the camera
will follow targets in zone. This behaviour is governed by the setup of each zone.

21.1.2 1080p Video/RTP block setup.
All HD cameras send large files for the I frame, this can cause a slight pause on the video stream. To get
around this 360 Vision have introduced a few settings that will eliminate this slight pause.
The below process only needs to be done when using 1080p video streams.
1. Set up camera stream settings (bitrate, resolution, framerate etc) as per site specification.
2. Open the advanced video page. (See Video - Advanced Video - page 48). This is used to alter the video
stream. Make sure the RTP Block suits the VMS system you are using. If this option is not correct you may
not be able to connect the camera to the VMS system.
• If you are not sure on the size of the RTP block that is required, drop the setting down to 1500 and then
add the camera to the VMS. Once connected, start increasing this setting, trying to get it as high as
possible until the video either becomes distorted or lost on the VMS system.
3. Using a new IE tab, connect to the camera and on the live video page click on the status button. Use the
information available in the frame statistics section to adjust the I frame size in the advanced video page
(on other IE tab). The average i-frame transmission time needs to be below 40mS. Lowering the I frame
size from 99 will reduce the transmission time. The frame statistics section of the status page will only
refresh every 1000 frames, depending on what the stream settings are this will take time for you to see an
improvement.

21.2 Add/Edit Users
The Add/Edit Users page, allows the admin user to create both operator and viewer level login details. The
admin user login password, can also be changed here. The web page admin password is also the Onvif admin
password. Care must be taken, when changing the admin password.

Preset Tour
A tour of presets is stored in the Predator-HD as a list of tour points. Each tour point consists of a preset
number, the dwell time for which the Predator-HD will pause and the speed parameter that will be used to seek
the preset. Each of the four tours of presets can contain between 2 and 90 points.
When programming a tour of presets it is necessary to first store all the required presets into the Predator-HD
and to define the required dwell times and speeds of travel that you will require the Predator-HD to use when
the tour is started.
A maximum of four individual tours of presets can be stored in each Predator-HD. Each tour can have between
2 and 90 points, each point can be a preset in the range 1 to 360. Different points can use any preset number,
including repeats of ones that have been used before. The speed that the camera will travel at to reach the
preset can be in the range 1°/sec (slowest) to 100°/sec (fastest). To seek the preset at maximum speed, set
speed to 0. The delay (dwell) at each point is defined in seconds, range 1 to 100.
• Play Tour - Starts the selected preset tour.

• Add Point - Use to add a new point to the tour.
• Final Point - Use to indicate that this point is the last point in the tour.
• Define Tour Point - Use to program the defined point into the Predator-HD.
Mimic Tour
When a mimic tour is started, the Predator-HD will perform all the actions which were defined when the mimic
was programmed. Upto four mimic tours can be defined.
• Play Mimic - Starts the selected mimic tour.

• Start Mimic Define - Use this to start programming a mimic tour. Move the camera, seek presets and/
or use the lens to define the actions to be saved for the mimic.
• Stop Mimic Define - Use to end the programming of the mimic tour into the Predator-HD.
The mimic and preset tours will repeat continuously until manually interrupted either by an alarm or user
intervention.

Privacy Zones
A privacy zone can be used to obscure a scene with in an image e.g. private residence.
Use the drop down box to select the privacy zone preset 1 to 24. Move the camera so that the scene to be
obscured is in the centre of the image. Use zoom to set the size of the privacy zone.

Predator lamps are used to improve the illumination of distant dark objects. The Predator lamps are normally
set to maximum intensity to increase the distance at which objects can be seen. When the Predator lamps
are ON and the camera tilts downwards to view nearby objects, the illumination could be too bright. This could
cause the quality of the image to be reduced. Some Predators include the ‘intelligent lighting’ feature which
allows the intensity of the illumination to be reduced when the Predator tilts down below a particular angle (i.e.
the ‘Dim Light Angle’). Below this angle the power to the lamps is reduced to the percentage value that has
been set (i.e. ‘Dim Lights intensity’).
• Dim Lights Angle - Sets angle when reduced illumination intensity is used.
• Dim Lights Intensity - Sets illumination intensity.
• Night HLC Level - Set a value to help mask high intensity light sources, options are low, medium and
high.
• Night HLC Mask - Sets a mask for the light source, options are 1 (white) to 15 (grey)
• Wiper Rest Time - Set wiper rest time.
• Wiper On Time - Set time period for how long wiper will run.
• Auto Dimming - When selected the camera will reduce the lamp power, when looking in scenes
where there is to much light.
• White Lamps - Set if white lights are to be used.
• White Timer - Set white light timer, for automatic switch off.
• White Exclusion - Option to be used if a white light exclusion area is to be used, set area using
presets 151 (left) & 152 (right).
• Home Action - This sends the camera to a preset, tour or mimic after a period of inactivity.
• Home Number - This sets the preset, tour or mimic the camera will go to/start.
• Home Timer - This sets the time for the period of inactivity.
• Steady Shot - Can be used to reduce camera shake from the picture.
• Status Refresh Rate - Can be used to help speed up telemetry control of the camera, by slowing
down the refresh rate.

Steady Shot – The viewed picture is made from a window which shows part of the full picture from the camera
sensor. This means that part of the picture is wasted. The viewed part of the picture is moved automatically
to use some of the wasted part so that the observed picture is stable and has compensated for the vibrations
and minor movements of the Predator-HD. The maximum amount of picture stability is achieved for all zoom
settings. The part of the picture that is wasted reduces the resolution of the viewed picture when the camera is
set to 1080P and steady shot is selected. When the camera is set to 720P it is usual for no resolution to be lost
when steady shot is selected.
Stable Zoom – In this mode, when the picture is zoomed fully out (wide angle) the steady shot feature has no
effect. As the picture is zoomed out the effect of the vibrations is naturally minimized. As the picture zooms
in, the part of the picture that is viewed is a window within the whole (unzoomed) picture. The unused part of
the picture is used to allow the viewed part of the picture to be moved automatically to compensate for the
vibrations. In this mode, the viewed picture has full resolution for all of the zoom range, but the camera does not
compensate for the vibrations when the picture zoom is at or near to the fully zoomed out setting.
Extended Zoom – This option doesn’t produce a steady picture, instead of which, a window within the whole
picture is viewed i.e. the scaling of the picture is altered slightly which gives the advantage that the normal 30x
zoom has been extended to 36x zoom. This is effectively a digital zoom and as such, when 1080P is used, the
resolution of the picture has been slightly reduced. When the camera is set to 720P it is usual for full resolution
to be achieved for the full range of zoom settings.

RTSP Tab - (See Stream Tables - page 64).

Tick the box to enable ‘multicast’. If the box is not ticked then ‘unicast’ is selected.
• Multicast Stream 1 - Set IP address and port for stream 1.

• Multicast Stream 2 - Set IP address and port for stream 2.
(See Video - Stream Type - page 47).
RTSP protocols allow ‘multicast’ or ‘unicast’ transmission. In addition to the ‘multicast’ feature being available on
the Predator-HD, the ‘multicast’ feature must also be available on the receiving device.
Unicast
If lots of receivers (users) want to receive video streams from the Predator-HD, each receiver will have a
separate video stream. This would increase the network bandwidth used. E.g. five users would require five
video streams, that typically will require five times the bandwidth.
Multicast
If the receivers of the video streams are suitable for using ‘multicast’ and the video streams will all have the
same format, then it may be possible to use ‘multicast’. In this mode, the CODEC in the Predator-HD chooses
a ‘new UDP address’ (Typically an address which is outside the normal range of addresses for the network to
which the Predator-HD is connected) and sends a video stream to the ‘new UDP address’. Multiple receivers
can then access this single video stream. Consequently the bandwidth that is required by the Predator-HD is
typically reduced to the single video stream.
When using ‘multicast’ all intermediate network-switches and routers must be set to allow the stream from the
‘new UDP address’ to be routed correctly.

22 Network Settings Recovery
When network settings are changed, the IP address, Net Mask and Gateway are validated before they are
saved. However if the settings are such that the Predator-HD has settings which mean that it cannot be seen
on the user’s network, it may become necessary to use the ‘Network Settings Recovery’ feature as described
below.
The ‘Network Settings Recovery’ IP address may conflict with an IP address that is already defined on the
network, it may be necessary to disconnect the Predator-HD from the network and control it locally using a
network connection to a laptop so that the IP address can be set to a suitable setting before the Predator-HD is
reconnected to the main network.

Procedure for ‘Network Settings Recovery’
If necessary disconnect the Predator-HD from the main network.
Turn power to the Predator-HD OFF for 3 seconds.

Turn power to the Predator-HD ON for 4 seconds.
Repeat the above five times.
On the final power ON, leave the power switched on for at least 5 minutes to allow the Predator-HD to initialise.
(See section Locating the Predator-HD on your network - page 42).

24 Important - Care of Painted Surfaces
The powder coating applied to the Predator-HD external housing is recognised as being in the forefront for
quality and finish. However, in order to preserve the aesthetic finish it is recommended that the coating is
regularly cleaned.
Regular cleaning on a maximum three month interval, using warm and mild detergent must be undertaken.
Abrasive cleaners including strong solvent must NOT be used at any time.
In areas where the coating may come in contact with concentrated atmospheric pollutants [marine, chemical
and especially bird droppings] it would be prudent to clean more frequently e.g. monthly.
Full documentation of the cleaning schedule MUST be maintained to ensure that a warranty claim can be
considered.
If damage occurs to the coating (e.g. the Predator-HD is dropped, scrapped etc.), repairs MUST be carried out
immediately.
When the Predator-HD is installed in areas where there is a high risk of damage from birds or their droppings,
additional precautions and measures should be used to keep the birds away from the Predator-HD e.g. fit anti-
bird spikes.
25 Storage and Handling
Predators should be handled with care and must not be dropped. When Predators are inside the transit
packaging which is used for despatch from the factory, they should not be stacked to a height of more than two
Predators.
When Predators are being stored before installation they should be kept in the transit packaging and located in
a dry indoor environment preferably between 1°C and 35°C which is dry and dust free. Humidity should such
that water vapour is non-condensing. Predators can be allowed to be outside this range for short periods of time
(24 hours maximum) for transport (e.g. in aircraft or vans) but must never be allowed to be outside the normal
operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C even during storage.
Before installation the Predator should be clean and dry. (If necessary it should be cleaned and dried taking
care that the glass is not scratched).
