5.2.8 Isotherm
Stands out the temperature range of the image. Isotherm: Used to highlight an object in images of high brightness. Isotherm is based on median
temperature, with highest temperature and lowest temperature as its range. The part of an object whose temperature is higher than min limit temperature will be represented in a bright color and the part of an object whose temperature is lower than min limit temperature will be represented in a black/white color. After enabling Isotherm, you have to make sure that min limit temperature <= max limit temperature <= ceiling temperature <= saturation temperature. Color Code: Enable this function, and a color code is displayed on the right side of surveillance images to show the change of color between minimum temperature and maximum temperature. The Camera is equipped with a color palette. Different from the traditional palette, the palette can correspond to the temperature, and different colors correspond to different temperature ranges. Different temperature ranges are displayed in different colors, thus realizing the isotherm display function. There are two types of palettes for displaying different temperatures. You can determine which type of palette to use by the color bars in the image.
Colored palettes
All the colors in the selected palette are used to color the image, but they cannot highlight the temperature. The vertical color bar in the image displays the selected palette.
Figure 5-32 Colored palettes
58

Isotherm palettes
The isotherm palette can be used to isolate the predetermined temperature. The vertical color bar in the image displays the selected palettes and the input temperature standard. When exceeding the configured temperature standard, the target will be highlighted according to the configured color of the tone.
Figure 5-33 Isotherm palettes
For example, you have configured temperature limit for the target, all areas with temperature exceeding this configured threshold will be highlighted with specific colors. After receiving the alarm, you can quickly determine the alarm source through the isotherm image.

5.3 Configuring IVS
5.3.1 Installation Requirements on Perimeter Protection
5.3.1.1 Site Selection
When installing the Camera, keep a depression angle (10°40°) to avoid obstruction or overlap between the targets caused by parallel view, which can reduce the false alarms and missed alarms.
The recommended installation height is 3 m5 m. (In the detection area, we recommended highpoint installation rather than low-point installation).
Install the Camera horizontally and firmly to guarantee the analysis result. To get a clearer movement of the target, make the monitoring direction vertical to the moving
direction. Make sure that the target is continuously present in the image, and has crossing action. Make sure that there is no obstruction in the detection area, and leave some space at both sides of the rule line, otherwise the target might rush out of the image because of the fast speed.
5.3.1.2 Typical Scenes
When there is no obstruction around the perimeter, install a vertical pole ( 1 m) on the perimeter, and then install the Camera on the vertical pole. Figure 5-35 Typical scene (1)
When there are obstructions (such as trees and vegetation) around the perimeter, install an L pole (horizontal pole 0.5 m) on the perimeter, and then install the Camera on the L pole. Figure 5-36 Typical scene (2)
When there are obstructions (such as trees and vegetation) around the perimeter, and wire netting on the perimeter, install a vertical pole separately. Keep the pole 1 m from the perimeter, and 1 m higher than the perimeter (installation height 3 m-5 m).
