Field evaluation of new exterior video motion detection systems
Considerable interest has been generated within the past several years concerning the use of new generation video motion detection (VMD) systems as exterior intrusion sensors. The new generation VMD systems advertise advanced video signal processing techniques and algorithms which are aimed at rejecting nuisance alarm sources inherent to the uncontrolled exterior environment. Older generation VMD systems used in an exterior environment tend to have high nuisance alarm rates. The high nuisance alarm rates of the older systems made them generally unacceptable for use as an exterior sensor. This paper discusses the results of continued field testing of new generation VMD systems. Field tests were conduced in an exterior perimeter zone application and an application looking at the exterior entrance of a building. Test results include each VMD system's detection capabilities and nuisance alarm characteristics for each particular application. Also site considerations such as lighting, cameras and zone layouts for exterior video motion detection are discussed. 1 ref., 14 figs., 1 tab.
