ClearCruise Object Detection (Video Analytics) overview

The Object Detection (Video Analytics) features provide audible and visual alerts when “non-water” objects are identified by connected M100/M200/M300 Series cameras.

Objects that visually differ from the water will be identified by the camera as a “non-water” object.

The following features are available with Object detection:

Highlight detected objects — Enables/disables object highlighting, which automatically identifies and highlights “non-water” objects.
Beep on detection — Enables/disables an audible beep when an object is detected (Highlight detected objects must be enabled)
Display estimated range — Enables/disables display of an object’s estimated range from your vessel. Highlight detected objects must be enabled, and the object must be closer than approximately 100 m (~300 ft).

Note

The minimum range for estimated range is 5 m (16.4 ft), objects within this range will still be highlighted but will not display an estimated range.


	Object detection can be particularly useful at night or visually limiting environments such as storms or fog. In the event of an emergency, such as man overboard, Object detection could be a useful aid that helps to identify and predict the distance from the MOB. Note ClearCruise’s performance is dependent on conditions and is not a replacement for maintaining a visual watch.
