Configuring the APD Device
Configure the APD device for the first time after it is installed with the APD web user interface (WebUI) to
configure the device.
Log in to the APD WebUI in a web browser, using the IP address of the device. Navigate to the Setup page, then
to the Presence Detection tab. See the
Web Interface User Guide
for the APD device for more information.
There are three settings that can be configured in the WebUI:
l
Dwell: the number of minutes that a person(s) needs to be present before an event is triggered.
The default setting is 10 minutes.
l
Range: The line of sight from the sensor to the outer edge of the floor area for which you want detection
to occur.
l
Sensitivity: The threshold for the amount of change from the background model needed to determine
presence.
The higher the sensitivity the less movement needed to activate the sensor. In general, increasing
sensitivity will lead to more detections but may lead to increased number of false positives. Decreasing
sensitivity can reduce the number of false positives but may lead to a false negatives.
It is unlikely you will need to change sensitivity.
After the APD device is configured, initialized, and the range has been set for the first time, you can use one of
the following methods to reconfigure the device:
l
If the device is connected to your network, you can use the APD web user interface to configure the
device. See the
APD Web Interface User Guide
for more information.
l
If the device is connected to the Avigilon Control Center system, you can use the client software to
configure the device. See the
Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide
for more information.
