A motion in the area detector is a tracker detector that operates VMDA detection tool that triggers when the object (objects) makes some actions in a virtual area that is in the camera coverageFOV.  

To configure a motion in the area detector, do the following:

1. Go to the the VMDA detection object settings panel for a VMDA detection object.
   
2. Click the the Add area button  button (1).
3. In the  the Video preview field  field (3), set , by the nodal points of the area one by one one by clicking the left mouse button, nodal points of the area which state is to be analysed. Only one area can be added. If there is an attempt to add a second area, the first one will be deleted.

4. Make the necessary operations with an area. Area operations are shown in the table.:

   Operation	Result
   Left mouse click in the video surveillance window	Area’s nodal point addition
   Hover to a nodal point and holding the

   left  button

   left button pressed move the mouse	Area’s nodal point shift
   Hover to a nodal point and press right mouse button	Line deletion.

     If

   If there are three nodal points the whole area will be deleted

   
   

5. To select an object type for which the detector will trigger, click the Image Removedthe Image Added symbol. Available object types are given below.:

   1. Image Added Any Image Removed Any object. Detector triggers while dealing with  Detector triggers on any object
   2. Image Removed Man. Detector triggers while dealing with any man
   3. .
   4. Image Added A human. Detector triggers on an object which width is less than height.

   5. Image Added A vehicle. Detector triggers on an object which width is greater than height.Image Removed Vehicle. Detector triggers while dealing with any vehicle

      
      

      Info
      title Note.
      Detection of the following object types can be configured using scripts and registry keys: a human, group of humans (with a possibility to count number of people in a group), cara vehicle, noise, an object carried into the area, an object carried out of the area, other objects. See also CAM_VMDA_DETECTOR section  section of the the Programming Guide. More precise objects classification can be performed using the neural filter (see Configuring the neural filter).

      
      

6. To select a detector type, click the Image Removed symbolthe Image Added symbol. Available detector types are given below.:

   1. Image Added Any movement Image Removed Any motion in the area. Detector triggers due to any motion in the area.

   2. Image Removed Entrance into Image Added Entering the area. Detector triggers due to object’s entrance into the area.

   3.  Exit from Exiting the area. Detector triggers due to the exit of object from the area.

   4.  Appearance Appearance in the area. Detector triggers due to the object’s appearance in the area.

   5.  Disappearance from Disappearance in the area. Detector triggers due to the object’s disappearance from the area.

   6.  Stop Stop in the area. Detector triggers due to the object’s stop in the area.

   7. Presence Staying in the area for more than 10sec10 sec (i.e. loitering detection). Detector triggers due to the object’s precense presence in the area for more than 10sec10 sec. This period can be configured with LongInZoneTimeout registry key (see Registry keys reference guide).

   8. Abandoned itemobject. Detector triggers due to the item abandoned in the area.

      Info
      title Note
      To ensure the Abandoned object detector type to work, the Abandoned objects detection checkbox must be set in the Tracker settings (see Creating and configuring the Tracker object).

      
      

7. To set the object color to be triggered by the detector, click the Image Added icon. The color picker palette will open. Circle the required color range with the left mouse button.

   To reset the selected color range to the default value, right-click in the palette area

   .

8. Set the Generate alarm on camera checkbox (4), if the camera alarm should If the alarm is to be generated when the detector triggers.
9. To display the tracks of objects detected by the cross line detection tool regardless of whether the corresponding setting of the Tracker object is enabled, set the Generate alarm Show event on camerascreen checkbox (45).
   
10. If the video in the preview window is too distorted, set the Show actual video aspect ratio checkbox (6). In this case, the video may not occupy the entire area of the preview window.
11. To save the changes, click the the Apply button  button (57).

A motion in the area detector is now configured.
