Video Intelligence
Video Intelligence
The camera supports the configuration of Video Intelligence Alerts. You can define Video Intelligence settings that
can be used to set up Analytics Rules.You can add up to three Analytics Rules by default on the camera web user
interface. You can add up to twenty Analytics Rules and access continuous metadata if you purchase a license
for "Video Intelligence - Full Suite". See www.illustracameras.com for more information.
Explanations of the Rule Types you can define and information about best practice in configuring the Rule Types
are included below:
•
Object Detection
- Used to detect people or objects moving into a region of interest. This alert is similar
to a motion-based alert, but it only detects people or objects on entry of the region of interes, that is, they
are not continuously detected if they remain within the region of interest. If the object leaves the camera
view and returns, the search detects them again. Use a higher Overlap setting to detect objects that are
mostly inside the region, and use a lower value to detect objects that just brush the edge of the region.
Select one or more color filters to further refine alerts.
•
Abandoned/Removed
- Used to detect a stationary object that is placed, moved, or removed. Adjust
the Amount Changed setting to detect either large or small changes occurring in the region. The Within
setting specifies the time period over which the changes can occur (0 seconds means instant change).
Draw a region that covers the area in which changes should be detected. Use a higher Overlap setting to
avoid detecting nearby changes or changes that are not completely in the region.
•
Direction
- Used to detect objects moving in a certain direction through a region of interest, for example,
a car traveling the wrong way on a road. Set the direction (North, South, East or West) of motion to be
detected , and the traversal time which is the maximum amount of time the object can take to traverse
most of the region. This excludes objects that move too slowly. Draw a thin region in the direction of
motion that you want to detect. Use a lower Overlap setting to detect objects that are moving in the
direction but are not necessarily contained within the region. Select one or more color filters to further
refine alerts.
•
Linger
- Used to detect objects lingering in an area of interest. An object is lingering if it remains in the
region of interest. Set the Linger Time which is the minimum amount of of time an object must linger
before being included in the results. Use a higher Overlap setting to avoid detecting objects that are
lingering nearby. Select one or more color filters to further refine alerts.
•
Dwell
- Use to detect objects dwelling in a region of interest. An object is dwelling if is mostly
stationary. Set the Dwell Time which is the mimimum amount of time an object must dwell before being
included in the results. Draw a region in the area where you want to detect objects dwelling. Use a
higher Overlap setting to avoid detecting objects dwelling nearby. Select one or more color filters to
further refine alerts.
•
Object Enter
- Used to detect objects entering the camera view through a doorway or threshold. Draw
a region of interest around the entire doorway so that when the door is fully opened, it remains
completely inside the defined region. For sliding glass doors, include their entire pathway inside the
region of interest. For best results, use a higher Overlap setting. Select one or more color filters to further
refine alerts.
•
Object Exit
- Used to detect objects exiting the camera view through a doorway or threshold. Draw a
region of interest around the entire doorway so that when the door is fully opened, it remains completely
inside the defined region. For sliding glass doors, include their entire pathway inside the region of
interest. For best results use a higher Overlap setting. Select one or more color filters to further refine
alerts.
•
Crowd
- Used to search for times when more than a certain amount of people or objects are in a region
of interest. Draw a region in the area that you want to find objects forming a crowd. Use a higher overlap
setting to avoid objects near the region. Set the Minimum Crowd Size to the number of objects that
make a crowd.
