Timeshare Group Settings

...

Group Type: The type of camera group; in this case Timeshare camera group.

User ID: A user friendly ID.

Name: The name allocated to the camera group.

Enabled: The option to enable this group, which is selected by default.

Use Priority: This controls which targets are selected to be followed, and is explained further in the Priority section: https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TUN/pages/501579784/Timeshare#Priority.

Target Expiry Time: This specifies how long a target will be kept alive whilst the system waits for an update.

Min Follow Time: The minimum length of time spent following targets before looking for another suitable target to follow.

Max Follow Time: The maximum length of time spent following targets before looking for another suitable target to follow.

Classification: Select what type of targets should be followed. By default this is set to all classification models.

Priority: Select the priority level to restrict all cameras in the Timeshare Group to only follow targets of the selected priority or higher. Any targets of a lower priority will be ignored. By default this is set to High.

Camera Coast: Select this option if you want the camera to continue to follow in the target’s last known direction when it is no longer being tracked.

Coasts Allowed: How many times the camera should follow a coasted track before giving up.

Minimum Sightings: The minimum number of sightings a target should have before it is followed by a camera.

Info

Priority is set as part of the alarm configuration. Please refer to https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TUN/pages/307232849/General#Alarm-Settings for ClearWay™ and Rules for AdvanceGuard® alarm configuration.

Default

Single Camera:

  • Each track is viewed for the Follow Time, before the camera switches to the next Track. e.g. 10 seconds.

  • The tracks are viewed in order of their age: from oldest to youngest, and then cyclically.  Age is defined by how long the tracks have been inside the Detection Area.

  • As tracks move in and out of the Detection Area, the age and therefore the order of track viewings will change. 

  • The camera's views are labelled numerically in order of viewing.

  • If a track leaves the Detection Area, and then rejoins the Detection Area, its age will be refreshed.

...

  • Each track is viewed for the Follow Time, before the camera switches to the next track. e.g. 10 seconds.

  • When a Detection Area is given Priority, only tracks within the Priority Area (red) will be viewed. 

  • The tracks are viewed in order of their age: from oldest to youngest, and then cyclically.   Age is defined by how long the tracks have been inside the Priority Detection Area.

  • The cameras' views are labelled numerically in order of track viewing.

  • As both cameras are in the same group, they will not view the same track simultaneously. Instead, each camera will view in order of age and track availability. 

  • In this example, there are three tracks to be tracked by two cameras, so the tracks cannot be evenly distributed between the two cameras. Therefore:

    • Camera 1 tracks the oldest track (green), so Camera 2 views the second oldest (blue).

    • When the Follow Time ends, Camera 1 will switch to viewing the second oldest track (blue), so Camera 2 will switch to the third oldest (indigo).

    • When the Follow Time ends, Camera 1 will switch to viewing the third oldest track (indigo), so Camera 2 will switch back to the oldest (green).

  • This 'every two tracks' cycle will continue unless a track or tracks move in or out of the Detection Area.
