CamStreamer PlaneTracker App
Automated visual tracking of air traffic independent of weather conditions. Using real-time ADS-B data, the application controls an Axis PTZ camera, continuously panning, tilting, and zooming to keep selected aircraft in view.
Key Capabilities:
-
Edge-Based Automation: A standalone solution with software embedded directly into the Axis camera.
-
Deep Genetec Integration: Includes a plugin with an operator console for Genetec Security Center, bringing better situational awareness and manual control (locking to a particular plane).
-
Data Overlay & Fast Search: Live flight information (flight number, registration, aircraft type) is embedded directly into the video stream. All tracked flights are stored in a VMS alongside valuable metadata for quick search in recordings.
-
Beyond Aircraft: The application can also track airport ground vehicles and, with Dronetag Scout, commercial drones.

Core Visual Tracking
Automated Visual Aircraft Tracking: Continuous pan, tilt, zoom, and focus based on real-time ADS-B telemetry.
Weather-Independent Target Acquisition: Reliable tracking across active runways regardless of adverse weather conditions.
Live Graphical Data Overlays: Flight numbers, aircraft type, registration, speed, altitude, and airport/weather info embedded directly into the live video feed.
Genetec Security Center integration
Native Security Center Plugin: Certified plugin with an integrated operator console for enhanced situational awareness.
Plan Manager Map Integration: Monitor real-time flight paths on map layers directly inside Security Desk.
One-Click Manual Override: Take instant manual tracking control of any target directly from the Plan Manager map.
Synchronized Video & Metadata Archiving: Store live video together with rich flight metadata in Genetec archives.
Event & Metadata Video Search: Fast incident retrieval in recorded video using ICAO hex codes, flight numbers, or call signs.
Smart Traffic Prioritization & Filtering
Custom Zone Prioritization: Draw specific zones on the map to prioritize takeoff/landing corridors and filter by speed or altitude.
Whitelisting & Blacklisting: Easily define which aircraft to automatically track or ignore based on registry or model.
Automated Emergency Priority: Immediate high-priority tracking trigger when aircraft broadcast emergency squawk codes (7500, 7600, 7700).
Ground Vehicles & Drone Tracking
Airside Ground Vehicle Tracking: Automatically follow ADS-B-equipped tugs, follow-me cars, de-icing trucks, and emergency vehicles on live maps.
Commercial Drone Tracking: Integrated visual drone tracking using Direct Remote ID telemetry via Dronetag Scout receivers.
System Risilience & Hardware Protection
Automatic Sun Avoidance: Protects camera optics by automatically closing the aperture and reducing zoom when pointing toward direct sunlight.
Edge-Based Standalone Architecture: Runs directly inside Axis PTZ cameras (ACAP), eliminating the need for external video processing servers.
Online & Offline Deployment: Full operational support for both internet-connected setup and isolated/air-gapped airport networks.
Contextual Audio Integration
ATC Radio & Runway Audio: Option to inject Air Traffic Control (ATC) radio communications and ambient runway microphone audio directly into the RTSP video stream.
