Timeshare mode causes all cameras within the group to spread themselves between tracks, spending an adjustable amount of time on each, before moving to the next tracked object. 

Below are a series of examples of how cameras assigned to the Timeshare mode, or in a Timeshare Group, can monitor Tracks. 

Timeshare mode is especially useful for ??? situations.

Default

Single Camera:

  • Each track Track is tracked viewed for a defined amount of time, before the camera Camera switches to the next trackTrack. e.g. 10 seconds.
  • The tracks Tracks are tracked viewed in order of their age: from oldest to youngest, and then cyclically.  Age is defined by how long the tracks 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 Track viewings will change. 
  • The Camera's views are labelled numerically in order of trackingviewing.


Double Cameras:

  • Each track Track is tracked viewed for a defined amount of time, before the camera switches to the next trackTrack. e.g. 10 seconds.
  • The tracks Tracks are tracked viewed in order of their age: from oldest to youngest, and then cyclically.  Age is defined by how long the tracks 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 Track viewings will change. 
  • The Cameras' views are labelled numerically in order of trackingviewing.
  • As each Camera is in a separate group, they will both perform the same actions, regardless of different camera Camera positions.  


Double Cameras, Single Group

  • Each track Track is tracked viewed for a defined amount of time, before the camera Camera switches to the next trackTrack. e.g. 10 seconds.
  • The tracks Tracks are tracked viewed in order of their age: from oldest to youngest, and then cyclically.  Age is defined by how long the tracks Tracks have been inside the Detection Area.
  • The Cameras' views are labelled numerically in order of tracking.
  • As both cameras Cameras are in the same group, they will not track view the same Track simultaneously. Instead, each camera Camera will track view Tracks in order of age and track Track availability:
    • Camera 1 tracks views the oldest Track (green),
    • So Camera 2 tracks views the second oldest (aqua).
    • When the Timeshare timeout period ends, Camera 1 will switch to viewing the next oldest trackTrack: the third oldest (blue).
    • So Camera 2 will switch to the fourth oldest (indigo).
  • This 'alternate trackTrack' cycle will continue unless a Track or Tracks move in or out of the Detection Area. 


Priority

Double Cameras, Single Group

  • Each track Track is tracked viewed for a defined amount of time, before the camera Camera switches to the next trackTrack. e.g. 10 seconds.
  • When a Detection Area is given Priority, only Tracks within the Priority Area will be trackedviewed
  • The tracks Tracks are tracked viewed in order of their age: from oldest to youngest, and then cyclically.  Age is defined by how long the tracks Tracks have been inside the Priority Detection Area.
  • The Cameras' views are labelled numerically in order of trackingtrack viewing.
  • As both cameras Cameras are in the same group, they will not track view the same Track simultaneously. Instead, each camera Camera will track view in order of age and track Track availability. 
  • In this example, there are three Tracks to be tracked by two Cameras, so the tracks Tracks cannot be evenly distributed between the two Cameras. Therefore:
    • Camera 1 tracks the oldest Track (green), so Camera 2 tracks views the second oldest (blue).
    • When the Timeshare timeout period ends, Camera 1 will switch to viewing the second oldest Track (blue), so Camera 2 will switch to the third oldest (indigo).
    • When the Timeshare timeout period ends, Camera 1 will switch to viewing the third oldest Track (indigo), so Camera 2 will switch to the oldest (green).
  • This 'every two tracksTracks' cycle will continue unless a Track or Tracks move in or out of the Detection Area. 


Mixed Camera Modes

Mixed

  • As above, the Timeshare camera tracks Camera views each Track for a defined amount of time, before the camera Camera switches to the next trackTrack. e.g. 10 seconds.
  • The tracks Tracks are tracked viewed in order of their age: from oldest to youngest, and then cyclically.  Age is defined by how long the tracks Tracks have been inside the Detection Area.
  • The Timeshare Camera's views are labelled numerically in order of trackingtrack viewing.
  • However, whilst the youngest Track (purple) is the last to be viewed by the Timeshare camera Camera, it is continuously viewed by the Closest camera due its proximity.
  • You cannot put two Camera's with different modes in the same group. 


Mixed Priority

  • As above, the Timeshare camera tracks Camera views each Track for a defined amount of time, before the camera Camera switches to the next trackTrack. e.g. 10 seconds.
  • When a Detection Area is given Priority, only Tracks within the Priority Area will be trackedviewed
  • The tracks Tracks are tracked viewed in order of their age: from oldest to youngest, and then cyclically.  Age is defined by how long the tracks Tracks have been inside the Priority Detection Area.
  • The Timeshare Camera's views are labelled numerically in order of trackingtrack viewing.
  • However, whilst the youngest Track in the Priority Detection Area (indigo) is the last to be viewed by the Timeshare camera, it is continuously viewed by the Closest camera due its proximity.
  • You cannot put two Camera's with different modes in the same group.
