Configuring the VideoIntellect detection of camera state module

Configuring the VideoIntellect detection of camera state software module includes general settings and configuration settings: configuration parameters and detection tool characteristics.

General settings

1. Go to the settings panel of the VideoIntellect detection of camera state object, which is created on the basis of the Camera object on the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box.
   
2. In the Frames processed per second [0.016, 100] field, enter the number of frames per second that the detection tool will process (1). With a minimum value of 0.016, the video image will be analyzed once per minute, with a maximum value of 100—once every one hundredth of a second. The default value is 30.
3. Set the Use GPU checkbox if it is necessary to use a graphics processor (GPU) when working with a neural network.
4. Set the Show objects on image checkbox if it is necessary to highlight the detection area with a red frame on the Video surveillance monitor when a camera state changing event is generated (3). The detection area is the whole frame.
5. Click the Configuration setup button (4). As a result, the detection tool setup window will open.

Parameters tab

1. Go to the Parameters tab of the detection tool settings window. This tab displays the parameters of the used configuration. If you do not need to change the configuration, skip steps 2 and 3 and go to the next tab.
   
2. To use custom configuration, click the Load configuration from file button.
3. In the standard Windows search window that opens, specify the path to the configuration file in JSON format.

Camera state detection tab

1. Go to the Camera state detection tab.
   

2. In the Flare response time (sec) field (1), set the time interval in seconds after which the detection tool signals whether the video surveillance scene is illuminated or darkened.

3. In the Defocus response time (sec) field (2), set the time interval in seconds after which the detection tool signals that the video surveillance scene is de-focusing.

4. Set the Background loading checkbox (3) if it is necessary to load the background of the video image; by default, the checkbox is clear.
5. Set the Background saving checkbox (4) if it is necessary to save the background of the video image for the period of time specified in the Background saving period field. By default, the checkbox is clear.
6. In the Background saving period field (5), specify the period of time in seconds during which the background of the video image is saved. The default value is 0.
7. In the Number of analytics streams field (6), specify the number of video streams that will be used for neural network analytics. The default value is 4.
8. To save the detection tool settings, click OK.
9. To save the changes, click the Apply button on the settings panel of the VideoIntellect detection of camera state object.

Configuration of the VideoIntellect detection of camera state software module is completed.
