Where to install the product

The radar is intended for monitoring open areas. Any solid object (such as a wall, a fence, a tree, or a large bush) in the coverage area will create a blind spot (radar shadow) behind it.
Install the radar on a pole, or on a spot on a wall where there are no other objects or installations next to it. Objects that reflect radio waves close to the radar affects the performance.
To be able to correctly identify movement in the coverage area, the radar needs to be installed on a stable mount. Do not install the radar on a swaying pole.
Metal objects in the field of view causes reflections that affects the performance.
Avoid aiming more than 3 radars toward each other.
If more than three radars are mounted close together they may interfere with each other. To avoid interference from other AXIS D2110-VE Security Radars, see Install multiple radars on.

Detection range For optimal performance, install the radar 3.5 m (11 ft) above ground.

Note

• If you install the radar at a different height, enter the actual mounting height in the product’s web pages when you calibrate the radar.
• The detection range is affected by the scene.
• The detection range is affected by neighboring radars.

The detection range is affected by the object type.

• The detection range was measured under these conditions:
• The range was measured along the ground.
• The object was a 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) tall person.
• The person was walking straight in front of the radar.
• The values are measured when the person enters the detection zone.
• The radar sensitivity was set to Medium.

Install multiple radars

The radio waves continue beyond the detection area, and can interfere with other radars up to 350 m (380 yd) away.

1. Radar
2. Detection area
3. Coexistence area
4. To avoid interference when more than two radars are mounted in the same coexistence zone, go to Settings > Radar > General and set Number of neighboring radars under Coexistence to 2.

If the radar has more than two neighboring radars within its coexistence area the performance decreases. The detection range becomes shorter, the radar doesn’t classify objects correctly, and false alarms occur due to interference between the radars.
The probability and severity of these issues increases with the number of radars within the same coexistence area. It also depends on the environment and the radar’s direction towards fences, buildings, or neighboring radars.
If more than three radars are crucial in an installation, see Installation examples on.

Installation examples

Cover a perimeter
To create a virtual fence you can place multiple radars side by side. We recommend placing them with 100 m (330 ft) spacing.

Cover a field around a building
To cover the area around a building, place the radars on the walls of the building. The radars can be close to each other without interfering since they are aimed away from each other.

If you place the radars aimed towards the building, the radars will transmit radio waves into each other, which decreases performance.

Cover an area

To cover a large open area, use two pole mounts to place two radars back to back.

Note
When two radars are mounted this close together, they are in the same coexistence zone.

You can use the PoE output from one radar to power the second radar, but it is not possible to connect a third radar this way.

Note
The PoE output on the radar is enabled when the radar is powered by a 60 W midspan.

Additional settings

Calibrate the radar
The radar is ready to use as soon as it is installed. The default live view will show the radar coverage and any detected movement, and you can add detection zones and rules right away.
If the radar is mounted 3.5 m (11 ft) above ground, there is no need to do anything else. If the radar is mounted on a different height you need to calibrate the radar to compensate for the mounting height.

To make it easier to see where objects are moving, you can upload a reference map, for example a ground plan or an aerial photo, that shows the area covered by the radar.
Image requirements

• Supported file formats are jpeg and png.
• The image can be cropped in the radar.
• The image can be rotated ±35° in the radar.
• The orientation is not important, since the radar coverage shape will move to adapt to the image during calibration.

After uploading the reference map you need to calibrate the reference map so that the actual radar coverage fits the position, direction and scale of the reference map.
There are two methods for calibrating the reference map:

• Pins (easy): This calibration is performed in the web interface by clicking in the reference map. This is the easiest way to calibrate the reference map, and you can use it if you do not have physical access to the site.
• Tracks (accurate): This calibration method requires a person to move in front of the radar. This is the most accurate way to calibrate the reference map, but you can’t use it if there is a lot of other movement in the scene.
  You can do this yourself while accessing the web interface from a mobile device, or have someone else move and follow your instructions.
  When moving around in the different steps, move to places that are easy to find in the reference map.

How to calibrate the radar

1. To configure the radar, go to Settings > Radar > Calibration, click Start and follow the instructions.

About detection zones

o determine where to detect motion, you can add multiple zones. Different zones can be used to trigger different actions.
There are two types of zones:

• An include zone is an area in which moving objects will trigger rules. The default include zone matches the entire area covered by the radar.
• An exclude zone is an area in which moving objects will be ignored. Use exclude zones if there are areas inside an include zone that trigger a lot of unwanted alarms.

Remove unwanted reflections
Objects of radar-reflective materials, such as metal roofs, fences, vehicles, and even brick walls may disturb the radar’s performance.
They may create reflections which cause apparent detections that can be difficult to separate from real detections.

How to control a PTZ camera with the radar

is possible to use the information about objects’ positions from the radar to make a PTZ camera track objects.
There are two ways to do this:

• Use the built-in Radar autotracking. Use this option when you have one PTZ camera and one radar mounted very close together. This option creates an edge to edge solution where the radar  directly controls the camera.
  • Go to Settings > System > Radar autotracking.
  • Enter the IP address, username and password for the PTZ camera.
  • Click Connect and follow the instructions.

Note

The camera must be installed directly above or below the detector.
The application requires exclusive PTZ control of the camera. To use one camera with multiple detectors, use the Windows® application AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ, available from axis.com.
The application does not use the include zones in the detector. It uses the entire radar coverage, except exclude zones, to detect motion.

• Install AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ on your VMS server (or another computer with access to both the camera and the radar), and follow the instructions in the application.
  To download AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ, go to axis.com.
  This is a server-based solution that can handle different setups:

  • Control several PTZ cameras with one radar.
  • Control one PTZ camera with several radars.
  • Control several PTZ cameras with several radars.
  • Control one PTZ camera with one radar when they are mounted in different positions covering the same area.

How to minimize false alarms

If you notice that you get too many false alarms, you can filter out certain types of movement or objects, change the coverage, or adjust the detection sensitivity. Test which settings work best for your environment.

Adjust the detection sensitivity
Go to Settings > Radar > Detection and select a lower Detection sensitivity. This decreases the risk of false alarms, but it could also cause the radar to miss some movement. The sensitivity setting affects all zones.

• Low: Use this sensitivity when there are a lot of metal objects or large vehicles in the area. It will take longer time for the radar to track and classify objects. This can reduce the detection range, especially for fast moving objects.

• High: Use this sensitivity when you have an open field without metal objects in front of the radar. This will increase the detection range for humans.

• Modify the include and exclude zones
  If the include zone includes hard surfaces, such as a metal wall, there may be reflections that causes multiple detections for a single physical object. In this case, modify the include zone, see Modify a detection zone on page 12, or add an exclude zone that masks everything behind the surface, see Add an exclude zone on.

• Filter on movement
  Go to Settings > Radar > Detection and select Ignore swaying objects. This setting will minimize false alarms from trees, bushes, and flagpoles in the coverage zone.

• Filter on time
  Go to Settings > RMD zones and select a zone to modify its settings.
  Enable Short-lived object and set a delay time from when the radar starts tracking an object until it can trigger and alarm.
  The timer starts when the radar first detects the object, not when the object enters the include zone.

• Filter on object type
  The radar will classify objects depending on the radar echo that they produce. If it can’t determine the object type, the object will be classified as Unknown.

Go to Settings > RMD zones and select a zone to modify its settings.
To avoid triggering on specific object types, enable the filter and deselect the object types that should not trigger events in this zone.

Cleaning recommendations

If the device gets grease stains or becomes heavily soiled, you can clean it with mild, solvent-free soap or detergent.

NOTICE
Never use harsh detergent, for example gasoline, benzene, or acetone.

1. Use a can of compressed air to remove any dust or loose dirt from the device.
2. Clean the device with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and lukewarm water.
3. Wipe carefully with a dry cloth.
   Note
   Avoid cleaning in direct sunlight or at elevated temperatures, as this may cause stains when the water droplets dry
