
People counting with overhead cameras in a retail environment.

Vehicle counting with overhead cameras on public highways.
The counting line filter can be enabled when the unit has been configured with
VCAcount/VCAaccess/VCAadvanced/VCApro license. In some scenes such as entrance with
camera over-head installed, the counting line typically will generate a higher accuracy count
than using the counters provided as part of VCAsurveillance.
NOTE: The maximum number of counting line filters that can be applied per video channel
is 5.
Enabling the Counting Line
Enable the counting line filter on a detection line in the desired direction(s) by checking the
appropriate box in the properties inspector. An event is generated every time an object
crosses the line in the selected direction. If multiple objects cross the line together, multiple
corresponding events are generated. The events generated by the counting line can be tied
to counters in the normal manner.
Assigning Counters to Counting Lines
A counting line by itself simply generates events when an object to be counted is detected.
In order to actually count the events, counters (one for each direction) can be created and
configured to count the events generated by the line. To create counters, see the
Counters
topic.
