recorded footage.
For detailed information about VCA refer to the documentation of the respective camera.

 Active alarms on base of this data is are not supported.

Configuration
SeMSy Compact® does not have to be configured extra for the search by metadata using the SmartFinder
function.

Operation
Basic operation of the SmartFinder function remains the same (see “SmartFinder” on page 30).
The search can now be limited to object types and filters for certain events with the corresponding
checkboxes. In addition, the minimal duration of a captured event (tracking duration) can be set up with
a slider.

 SeMSy® Compact – Software Version 5.1.19| REV. 1.0.1 | © 2021 Dallmeier 31
Fig. 8-6: Search with SmartFinder and VCA metadata

 The smart combination of these options reduces the displayed results to a relevant minimum. Only a few
 sequences in the result have to be checked for the sought-after event. This usually reduces the effort of
 the evaluation enormously.

 Note the “Example: SmartFinder Search Parking Garage” on page 34.

 Note that the options Object type and Filter are not displayed if the camera
 does not feature VCA technology.

32 SeMSy® Compact – Software Version 5.1.19| REV. 1.0.1 | © 2021 Dallmeier
Visualization with sensor grid
It is recommended to activate the sensor grid at the start of the evaluation, in order to visualize the ob-
jects detected by the video content analysis during playback.

❶ Complete Overview
While displaying the overview image of a Panomera®, SeMSy® Compact processes the detected events in
real time and marks all persons and objects with color-coded detection frames.

❷ Multiple AutoTracking
If the detection time of a person or object exceeds the set threshold value, the corresponding image area
is automatically displayed in a new split. For this, the person is zoomed in and tracked in detail over the
entire object space.

❸ Multiple Monitoring
SeMSy® Compact evaluates all events of the captured object space and simultaneously observes all mov-
ing persons or objects in almost real time, regardless of whether the events occur in the foreground or
background.

❹ Simultaneous Display
The automatic and simultaneous display of moving persons or objects in detail splits is principally unlim-
ited. According to the resolution of the monitor, views with different numbers of splits can be selected,
depending on the individual requirements for the size of the detail splits.

❺ Lossless capturing
A Panomera® always captures and records the entire object space. The detailed display of interesting
areas with the AutoTracking function is of no importance. Unlike conventional PTZ cameras with a track-
ing function, Panomera® recordings always cover the entire scene and enable the evaluation of each
individual event.

Panomera® Functions
 The multifocal sensor system Panomera® distinguishes itself through a completely new lens and sensor
 concept.
 To make optimum use of this system, and in order to adapt it to a specific location, SeMSy® Compact of-
 fers different functions. Those are only usable with a Panomera®® camera.

 19.1 GRID
 In the SeMSy® Compact, it is possible to display the grid of each camera module (zones of the respective
 individual streams) of a Panomera® camera.
 So, there is an overview of the layout of the master / slave modules.

 ▶ Activate a Panomera® camera as described above.

 Fig. 19-1

 ▶ Click F1 in order to display the grid.
 or
 ▶ Open the context menu and choose Image > Panomera® > Show sensor grid.
 ▶ Click F2 in order to disable the grid again.
 or
 ▶ Deactivate the sensor grid using the context menu.

 Refer to the documentation “Configuration” of the corresponding Panomera®
 camera.

68 SeMSy® Compact – Software Version 5.1.19| REV. 1.0.1 | © 2021 Dallmeier
19.2 OVERVIEW-MODULE
Because a Panomera® guarantees a uniform resolution over the entire scene, data transfer requires large
capacities.
To minimize the risk of a lagging picture caused by large data packages, one can use the Overview-mod-
ule.
The Overview-module behaves like a regular single sensor camera, and thus drastically reduces the data
volume needed for image transmission. Using the overview-module is especially recommended when
multiple users are working in a single system.

Apart from that, the Overview-module can be used as “demo-mode”, to demonstrate Panomera® effect,
by comparing it to a regular Panomera® split.

Fig. 19-2

Display Overview-module
▶ To only display the Overview-module, press F3.
or
▶ Open the context menu of the split and choose Image > Panomera® > PROXY

Hide Overview-module
▶ Press F4, to return to multifocal-view.
or
▶ Deactivate the option PROXY via the context menu.

19.3 BLEND BORDERS
A Panomera® multifocal sensor system always provides an image that is composed of the individual im-
ages of the respective modules. Edges may form at the edges of the individual images.

▶ If necessary, activate the function for edge merging in the context menu of the active Panomera® split
 under Image > Panomera® > Blend borders.

 SeMSy® Compact – Software Version 5.1.19| REV. 1.0.1 | © 2021 Dallmeier 69
19.4 QUICK-ZOOM
 It is possible to zoom into a Panomera® split with the mouse immediately. In order for this to work, two
 splits are necessary. Depending on the mode the Panomera® is operating in, it behaves differently when
 it is opened.

 19.4.1 AUTO-Mode
 In AUTO-mode one can still observe the overall proceedings with small network utilization, while also
 viewing certain areas in detail. The splits highlighted in color always depend on the original split, even
 when the track mode is changed.

 Fig. 19-3

 ▶ Click the necessary spot in the split, and drag and drop it with the Alt button pressed into another
 split.
 or
 ▶ Click the necessary spot in the split with the Alt and Strg buttons pressed, to activate the zoom area in
 the next free split.

 The selected area is now shown enlarged in the corresponding split and highlighted in color.

 It is possible to repeat this process in order to create several zoom areas.
