Video stream and scene requirements for the Privacy Masking

Image requirements for the Privacy Masking

Hardware requirements for neural analytics operation

To configure the Privacy masking detection tool, do the following:

...

Masking, do the following:

  1. Go to the Detection Tools tab.
  2. Below the required camera, click Create…  Category: Trackers  Privacy Masking.

By default, the detection tool is enabled and set to hide stationary objects.

If necessary, you can change the detection tool parameters. The list of parameters is given in the table:

ParameterValueDescription
Object features
Record mask to archiveYesBy default, mask is recorded to the archive. To disable the parameter, select the No value
No
Video streamMain stream

If the camera supports multistreaming, select the stream for which detection is needed. Selecting a low quality video stream reduces the load on the Server.

Note
titleAttention!

To ensure the correct display of streams on a multi-stream camera, all video streams must have the same frame aspect ratio.

Other
EnableYesBy default, the detection tool is enabled. To disable, select the No value
No

If you use a custom neural network, select the corresponding file.

Note
titleAttention!
  • To train your neural network, contact AxxonSoft (see Data collection requirements for neural network training).
  • If the neural network file is not specified, the default file will be used that is selected automatically depending on the selected processor for the neural network operation (Decoder mode). 

...

  • If you use a custom neural network, enter a path to the file.

titleNote
  • To ensure the correct operation of the neural network in Linux OS, the corresponding file must be located in the

By default, the entire frame is a detection area. If you want to exclude

For convenience of configuration, you can "freeze" the frame. Click the Image Added button. To cancel the action, click this button again.

The detection area is displayed by default. To hide it, click theImage Added button. To cancel the action, click this button again.

To save the parameters of the detection tool, click the Apply Image Added button. To cancel the changes, click the Cancel Image Added button.
