Overview
GETTING STARTED
The Camera Sabotage behavior must be installed on the NET5301T-I inteligent video encoder before the
behavior can be configured. Camera Sabotage is a standard feature of all Pelco extended platform (EP)
cameras with Sarix™ technology. Refer to the product documentation for model numbers and descriptions.
NET5301T-I intelligent video encoder: Behaviors installed on the NET5301T-I are configured using the
WS5000 software, version 1.5 or later. Refer to the Endura® License Manager manual for instructions on
installing and managing the behaviors.
Pelco IP extended platform (EP) cameras with Sarix technology: Behaviors installed on
EP cameras are configured using the WS5000 software version 2.0 or later. Depending on the model, these
cameras are preloaded with one of the following Pelco analytics suites:
•
•
Motion Suite: Adaptive Motion and Directional Motion behaviors
Object Suite: Abandoned Object, Objecting Counting, and Object Removal behavior
NOTES:
•
Pelco recommends that you set Focus to Manual when using analytics on EP cameras. If Focus is set
to Auto, significant background changes will occur when the camera automatically adjusts to
different points within a scene, resulting in a frequently changing image sharpness. This may cause
problems with scene recognition, which will suspend the analytics operation or cause false alarms.
•
The Scene Analyzer behavior installed on EP cameras is intended for future use only.
When working with profiles, refer to the following sections:
•
•
•
•
•
DESCRIPTION
The Camera Sabotage behavior detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if spray
paint, a cloth, or a lens cap covers the lens. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an
alarm.
CAMERA INSTALLATION
Install the camera in a high position, looking down on the scene. The field of view should be as large as
possible. A small field of view could result in the view being blocked by an adjacent object.
SCENE SELECTION
Avoid scenes with a dark, uniform background; low lighting; and large moving objects.

Configuration
The Camera Sabotage behavior is configured using the WS5000 software. The behavior must be installed
on the encoder before it can be configured.
PROFILES
For each behavior, you can create several custom profiles that contain different settings. Each profile can
contain settings that make use of different camera settings. With these profiles, you can set up different
scenarios for the behavior. Depending on the behavior, each profile might focus on a different zone, have
different sensitivities, detect different object sizes, or trigger an alarm based on different types of motion.
For cameras that are PTZ-enabled and are capable of storing preset positions, profiles can include
different preset positions in their settings. Profiles can also be created for use with fixed cameras that do
not have programmable preset positions. For these profiles, the camera position will always be the same,
but the behavior settings can differ for each profile. Refer to Global Settings on page 8 for detailed
information.
Both the encoder and the EP camera can store up to 25 profiles. Each profile, or scenario, can be started or
stopped at any time.
USES AND BENEFITS
Profiles extend the flexibility and power of the behaviors. By creating more than one profile for each
behavior, a behavior can be called upon to perform different analytical functions at any time. Assigning
descriptive names to the profiles also enhances the usability of behaviors because they are easier to
recognize and select from the shortcut menu.
EXAMPLE OF A PROFILE
A security department purchases the Camera Sabotage behavior for use on a fixed camera in a remote
office location that employs a security staff during regular business hours only. The behavior is used
primarily to monitor a parking lot at the remote office building during hours when the local security staff is
off duty.
In this scenario, the behavior should be configured to detect when a camera is repositioned or the lens is
covered with a cloth or spray paint during nonbusiness hours. The alarm should be configured to sound
within a few seconds of any interference, and the alarm severity should be set to Major or Critical.
The security department creates a profile named Remote Parking Lot Camera Interference and configures
the following settings:
Sensitivity: Since the camera monitors the parking lot of a remote office building, the alarm sensitivity is
set to 7. The remote office receives only infrequent visitors after hours; therefore, the chance for false
alarms is minimal given that excessive movement is unlikely.
Delay before alarm: Since the camera monitors during hours when the security department is off duty,
the delay between the violation and the alarm trigger is set to 3 seconds.
Alarm severity: To ensure that alarms are not overlooked, the security department selects the “Enable
alarm” check box, and then sets the alarm severity to Major. The security policy at this site requires that
higher level alarms are acknowledged by security supervisors thereby minimizing the likelihood that
alarms are overlooked.
Refer to Global Settings on page 8 for a detailed explanation of these settings. Profiles can be activated
manually at the end of regular business hours.

ADD A PROFILE
Once the behavior is installed on the encoder, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the WS5000 workstation.
2. In the Camera navigation pane, right-click a camera connected to an NET5301T-I intelligent encoder,
Figure 1. Selecting a Camera to Modify

3. Click the Add Profile button
to open the Add Profile dialog box. A message appears: “This
action will deactivate the current profile. Do you wish to continue?” Click Yes to continue.
NOTE: You must deactivate the currently running profile before you can set up a new profile. Profiles
are configured one at a time.
4. Enter a descriptive name for the profile. Consider naming profiles based on their function. A more
descriptive name makes them easier to locate when you need to run a specific profile.

GLOBAL SETTINGS
The Camera Sabotage behavior uses the following global settings:
Sensitivity: Defines the minimum motion or change in the scene that triggers an alarm. The default
setting is 5; settings range from 1 (low) to 10 (high). Any movement with a value that is lower than the
selected setting is regarded as noise. The higher the setting, the greater the chance for a false alarm.
While a lower setting reduces the chance for a false alarm, it might also result in missed alarms.
Enable alarm: Turns on the alarm. If an alarm is enabled, alarm warnings are triggered and displayed in
the Alarm Manager workspace. These events are listed in the system log.
Alarm severity: Defines the severity of an alarm. Available settings include Minor, Normal, Major and
Critical. The default setting is Minor.
Delay before alarm: Defines the delay between the time a violation is detected and the actual trigger of
an alarm. If the violation does not continue past the delay period, an alarm does not trigger. If the violation
lasts longer than the delay period, an alarm is triggered. The default setting is 3 seconds.
RESET ALARM, BACKGROUND, AND DEFAULT SETTINGS
Profiles based on the Camera Sabotage behavior use the following additional commands:
•
•
•
Reset Alarm: Resets an active alarm. If you reset an alarm manually while an object is still in the
zone, a new alarm is triggered.
Reset Background: Refreshes the background scene for the camera. Click this command any time
the background scene is changed after the profile has been configured.
Restore Defaults: Restores the default settings for the behavior in the profile.
RENAME A PROFILE
1. From the Device setup screen in the WS5000, display the Video Analytics tab for a camera.
