BOSCH Security Systems’ DENSO Area Sensor uses a 2-dimensional laser plane to build a virtual ‘image’ of a detection environment.
The sensor is then capable of independently tracking up to 16 moving objects within its detection area, feeding this data to intrusion detection systems, or even directly taking control of IP PTZ cameras by way of the ONVIF protocol.
One of the most advanced features of the DENSO Area Sensor is its ability to directly control IP PTZ cameras. While similar detectors in the market rely on low-level contact closure to switch cameras to presets based on detection in a limited number of ‘zones’, the Area Sensor can provide direct telemetry control to a camera including automatically acquiring the next highest priority target after the currently tracked object leaves the scene.
