The structure of the Detection Tools list consists of three levels: 1. Video cameras 2. Types of video camera detection tools 3. Video camera detection tools Attention! For a video camera and its corresponding branch to appear in the Detection Tools list, the camera must be enabled in EyStream Each type of detection corresponds to a parent object: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Loitering a detection tool triggered by the lengthy presence of an object in an area of a video camera's field of view Object disappearance a detection tool triggered by the disappearance of an object in an area of a video camera's field of view Abandoned object a detection tool triggered by the appearance of an abandoned object in an area of a video camera's field of view Line crossing a detection tool triggered by the trajectory of an object crossing a virtual line Object appearance a detection t
Note After enabling situation analysis, the viewing tile will display the properties (width and height as percentages of the width and height of the frame) of tracked objects Situation analysis is now enabled. Setting General Parameters To set a situation analysis detection tool's general parameters, you must perform the following steps: 1.
Note Enabling this option is recommended if the lighting fluctuates significantly in the course of the video camera's operation (for example, in outdoor conditions) 4. In the Maximum height and Maximum width fields (4), enter the maximum height and width of a detectable object as a percent of the height of the video image frame. The values should be in the range [2, 100]. 5. In the Max Rest Time field (4), enter the maximum rest time of an object in seconds, after which it is considered abandoned.
2. In the viewing tile (2), set the nodes of the closed area, in order, inside or outside of which you want to delete the detection zone.
area with a dimmed red background. Deletion of the detection zone is now complete. To create a detection zone: 1. Select a Situation analysis object. Set the nodes of the closed area inside or outside of which you want to create a detection zone (see steps 1 and 2 in the previous instructions). 2. Use the green icons to create a detection zone. Icon Executed function Creates a detection zone inside the outlined area Creates a detection zone outside the outlined area 3. Click the Apply button.
3. Click the Apply button. Creation of the Detection Tool object is now complete. Setting Virtual Elements On page: Line Area For each type of situation analysis detection tool you must set a virtual element of one of two types: 1. A line 2. An area Attention! If no visual element is set, the detection tool will not work The type of visual element is determined by the detection type. Only the Line crossing detection requires you to set a Line element.
2. In the viewing tile (2), set the endpoints of the line which, when intersected, will trigger Line Crossing detection. Note When the line is being constructed, the end points are connected by a two-color dotted line.
area (1). 2. In the viewing tile (2) set the nodes of the area, in order, in which the situation requires analysis.
2. In the Maximum loitering time field (2), enter the maximum object loitering time in seconds. This value should be in the range [0, 3600]. 3. Click the Apply button. The maximum loitering time is now set. Video Analytic Types of Video Detection The following detection tools enable analysis of the video image from a camera.
1. In the Detection Tools list, highlight a Video Detection Tool object which offers a means of analyzing the video image from the desired video camera. 2. Select Yes from the Enable list. 3. Click the Apply button. Video detection is now enabled. The desired video detection tools may be enabled in the same way as video detection. Setting General Parameters of Video Motion Detection To set the general parameters of video detection tools, you must perform the following steps: 1.
3. In the Period field (3) enter the time in milliseconds after which the next video image frame will be processed. This value should be in the range [0, 65535]. If the value is 0, each frame of the video image is processed. 4. Click the Apply button. Setting the general parameters of the video detection tools is now complete. Settings Specific to Video Motion Detection To configure VMD, you must perform the following steps: 1. In the Detection Tools list, highlight a Motion object (1). 2.
Noise A detection tool which is triggered by the appearance of noise Attention! No Signal audio detection may operate incorrectly with video cameras emitting a background signal with a non-zero volume, even if the integrated microphone is physically disabled Procedure for Configuring Audio Detection For each video camera equipped with one or more audio ports, audio detection tools of all three types are automatically created (see the section titled Types of Audio Detection).
The audio detection tool is now enabled. Setting General Parameters of Audio Detection To set the general parameters of audio detection tools, you must perform the following steps: 1. In the detection tool list, highlight an Audio Detection object (1) which offers a means of analyzing the audio signal from a microphone connected to the desired video camera. 2.
