On the Configure Device page, Configure Events section, you determine how
CheckVideo monitors for events.
First, determine what type(s) of event you want CheckVideo to look for. If you choose
Person or Vehicle, your camera should be positioned so that these objects remain in
the camera’s view for the entire Duration of the event. If you choose Motion, you’ll
decrease the chance of missed events, but you may also increase the likelihood of
receiving unwanted notifications.
Then, use the “Zone” feature to define the areas you wish to monitor. A zone defines
the boundaries of the monitored area within a camera’s field of view.
•
To create a zone, click the Draw/Edit radio button next to the appropriate event
type (Figure 30). Then use your mouse to draw the zone by clicking the left mouse
button wherever you want to define a corner of the zone.
•
The first point you create will be colored green; other points will be blue.
•
When drawing the zone, keep in mind that it should cover the entire area where
you would like an object to be detected and should not cover any area where you
do not wish to detect activity. In the example in Figure 31, the zone covers the
entrance of an office suite. The glass door leading into the zone is excluded, to
avoid detection of reflections from the glass or objects on the other side of the
door.
•
To delete a point after you’ve placed it, click it. To move a point after you’ve placed
it, click and drag it to the desired new location. To create a new point between two
existing points, SHIFT+click the point that was placed first.
•
Clicking the green point in the zone or the Draw/Edit option for another zone
completes the zone. A completed zone displays a single red point at the zone’s
start point (Figure 31B).
•
If you want to completely erase a zone you’ve created and start again, click the
red point. If you want to just edit the dimensions of the zone, SHIFT+click the red
point.
