The Detection zone object is used to register and configure intelligent video detectors. The settings panel of the Detection zone object is shown in the figure.

Table describes the parameters of the settings corresponding to the elements of the settings panel of the Detection zone object.

6

Show

Set the checkbox

Sets the display of the frame border of an object in the camera field of view

This parameter is active only with the following detectors are selected from the Detection list: motion, infrared.

Boolean type

Clear

Setthe object frame border is displayed in the camera field of view

Clearthe object frame border is not displayed in the camera field of view

7

Alarm

Set the checkbox

Enables alarm generation on camera and automated recording of the video signal from the camera with the alarm received from the selected detector

Boolean type

Clear

Seton alarm received from the selected detector, an alarm is generated on the camera and automated recording of the video signal is performed

Clearalarm is not generated on the camera and automated recording of the video signal is not performed on the alarm received from the selected detector

8

Armed always

Set the checkbox

Sets the state of the selected detector as Always armed permanently

Boolean type

Clear

Set—the detector is always in the Always armed state

Clearthe Operator can disarm the detector

9

Sensitivity

Set the slider in the required position

The setting depends on the type of the selected detector:

Motion detection tool

The value of this parameter corresponds to the minimum value of the averaged brightness of the moving object, at which the detection tool will trigger only at its motion, and not at the video signal noise (including snow, rain, etc.). The HIGHER the sensitivity value, the more sensitive the detection tool is.

Focus detection tool
The value of this parameter characterizes the minimum degree of accuracy loss, expressed in the difference between the average number of outlines and the number of outlines in the incoming frame at which the detection tool should trigger.

Stability detection tool

The value of this parameter characterizes the minimum degree of reduction in the resolution of the frame, expressed in the difference between the average number of outlines and the number of outlines in the incoming frame at which the detection tool should trigger.

Background change detection tool

This parameter characterizes the deviation of the integral brightness of the frame from the average value at which the detection tool should trigger.

Blind detection tool

This parameter corresponds to the rate of illumination of the video expressed in the difference between the positions of medians of the brightness chart of the incoming frame and the reference illumination frame at which the detection tool should trigger.

Cover detection tool

This parameter corresponds to the rate of narrowing of the brightness chart of the frame, i.e. estimation of the frame filling with gray color, at which the detection tool should trigger.

Infrared detection tool

The value of this parameter corresponds to the minimum value of the averaged brightness of the moving object, at which the detection tool will trigger at its motion

-

Average

-

10

Contrast

Set the slider in the required position

Sets the minimum contrast of the object at which the detection tool triggers at its motion. The HIGHER the specified contrast value, the more different the neighboring b/w elements should be, so that the detection tool considers them as different objects.

It is not applicable for all detector types

-

Average

-

11

Filter

Set the slider in the required position

The setting depends on the type of the selected detector:

Motion detection tool, Infrared detection tool

The value of this parameter corresponds to the threshold of color processing of objects, at which the detection tool should trigger. The HIGHER the filtering, the more different the neighboring elements (pixels) of the image should be, so that the detection tool considers them as different objects.

Background change detection tool, Stability detection tool

The value of this parameter corresponds to the contrast threshold of the detected object.

It is not applicable for all detector types

-

Minimum

-

12

Size

Set the slider in the required position

The setting depends on the type of the selected detector. The value of this parameter corresponds to the minimum size of the detection object relatively to the frame sizes.

It is not applicable for all detector types

-

Average

-

13

Direction of search*

Press the arrow buttons

Sets the direction of search for the motion detector

8 possible directions to object movement in the frame

All directions are selected: up, down, to the left, to the right, up and to the left, up and to the right, down and to the left, down and to the right

Up, down, to the left, to the right, up and to the left, up and to the right, down and to the left, down and to the right

14

15Stability detection sensitivity (10-127)Enter the value into the field

Stability detection tool

Sets the threshold of difference between the brightness of the pixel in the current frame and the background

Non-negative integer3010-127
16Upper stability limit (%)Enter the value into the field

Stability detection tool

Sets the maximum permissible percentage of the stabilized frame pixels that differ from the background by more than the value in the Stability detection sensitivity field. When exceeded, the alarm verification process starts

Non-negative integer350-100%
17Lower stability limit (%)Enter the value into the field

Stability detection tool

Sets the maximum permissible percentage of the stabilized frame pixels that differ from the background by more than the value in the Stability detection sensitivity field. Below the value, the frame is considered stable

Non-negative integer200-100%
18Alarm confirmation time (s)Enter the value into the field

Stability detection tool

Sets the time period in seconds during which the Upper stability limit must be exceeded to generate an alarm

Non-negative integer1>0
