Configuring MxAnalytics
4.5 Configuring MxAnalytics
The following configuration steps are necessary to use MxAnalytics video motion analysis
on a Q24M camera in MxEasy:
•
Activate MxAnalytics and configure the settings (such as detection settings and object
display)
• Define detection areas, counting lines and object size
• Set up storage of MxAnalytics data for future evaluation
• Set up time tables to control the motion detection, customize the predefined report
profiles used for analysis and set up the generating of reports and their automatic
sending via e-mail, where necessary
4.5.1 Activating MxAnalytics And Configuring The Settings
In order to run the video motion analysis and to receive useful analysis results, MxAnalytics
must be activated and various settings have to be configured. Once you have done this,
switch to the MxAnalytics settings to define the detection areas and the counting lines. After
switching to the MxAnalytics settings, you can immediately check the eects of the defined
settings in the camera live image.
Open the “MxAnalytics” tab in the Cameras| Camera Options menu or with the Camera
Options button to activate MxAnalytics and to configure the settings.
•
Enable MxAnalytics: The Activate option must be selected
in order to run the video motion analysis.
• Save reference image: Saves the current camera image
as a reference image. This reference image is used for
the export of heatmaps, among others. Thus, it is possible
to receive always an identical background image for the
heatmap, no matter what the current camera image is.
If a reference image has not been set or if the previous
reference image has been deleted, the current camera
image will be used as backgound image.
• Format SD card: We recommend setting up MxAnalytics
after activation and then configuring storage of the data
generated. See Section 4.5.3, „Setting Up Storage For Future
Evaluation“ for information on how to configure this.
Detection Settings
• Mounting height: Installation height of the camera to the floor in centimeters -– It is
important to set the value accurately to correctly detect the moving objects. The height
should be at least 250 cm.
•
Sensitivity: Controls the sensitivity of the sensor. A higher value means that the software
only recognizes objects that have a noticeable color dierence to the background. A
lower value means that the software also recognizes objects that are hard to recognize
against the background.
