Dorset school uses Bosch's AutoTrack CCTV cameras

From Security Park:

Bosch Security Systems' Autotrack CCTV dome cameras have been installed by a school in Wimborne to improve security and automatically track any intruders. Queen Elizabeth’s School in Wimborne, Dorset is the first to take advantage of these advanced cameras which can follow intruders as they move around the site including the grounds and sports fields.

The AutoTrack feature allows the cameras to automatically track an intruder and record their movements. This means there is no need to set up guard tours on the cameras – the cameras can simply watch for any ‘defined’ movement caused by an intruder and follow it, triggering recording and

According to Kevin Brougham, the school business manager, the AutoTrack feature is a valuable facility for schools and other facilities with sports fields or large grounds as it automatically provides alarms if an intruder is detected and then automatically follows them using the built-in pan, tilt and zoom to make sure they are tracked and recorded. “All too often intruders pass out of the capture area of CCTV cameras as they move around the grounds but with AutoTrack, they are actually followed so the video coverage is much better – no more intruders disappearing off the scene,” he said. “We can switch AutoTrack off at any time or use it at night only – and if there is a problem due to background traffic or trees moving we simply switch it off any individual cameras - giving us complete flexibility.”
