To configure the Smoke Detection Smoke detector, do the following:
- Go to the Detection Tools tab.
- Below the required camera, click Create… → Category: Production Safety → Smoke Detectiondetector.
By default, the detection tool detector is enabled and set to detect smoke.
If necessary, you can change the detection tool detector parameters. The list of parameters is given in the table:
| Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|
| Object features |
| Record mask to archive | Yes | By default, the sensitivity scale of the |
detection tool detection tool | detector (mask)). To disable the parameter, select the No value |
| No |
| Video stream | Main 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 |
| Other |
| Enable | Yes | The |
detection tool | detector is enabled by default. To disable the |
detection tool the Detection detection tool | detector name or leave the default name |
| Decoder mode | Auto | Select a processing resource for decoding video streams. When you select a GPU, a stand-alone graphics card takes priority (when decoding with NVIDIA NVDEC chips). If there is no appropriate GPU, the decoding will use the Intel Quick Sync Video technology. Otherwise, CPU resources will be used for decoding |

| Number of frames processed per second | 0.1 | Specify the number of frames that the |
detection tool | detector will process per second. The value must be in the range [0.016; 100] |

| Neural network file |
| Select a neural network file. The standard neural networks for different processor types are located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\AxxonSoft\DetectorPack\NeuroSDK directory. You don't need to select the standard neural networks in this field, the system will automatically select the required one. If you use a custom neural network, enter a path to the file | Info |

| For correct neural network operation on Linux OS, place the corresponding file in the /opt/AxxonSoft/DetectorPack/NeuroSDK directory. |
| Note |

| If you use standard neural network (training wasn't performed in operating conditions), we guarantee the overall accuracy of 80-95% and the percentage of false positives of 5-20%. |
|
| Ignore black and white image | Yes | The parameter is disabled by default. If you don't want the |
detection tool to trigger | detector to generate an event when the image is black and white, select the Yes value |
| No |
| Number of measurements in a row to trigger detection | 5 | Specify the minimum number of frames with smoke for the |
detection tool to triggerdetector to generated an event. The value must be in the range [5; 20] |
| Scanning mode | Yes | The parameter is enabled by default. You can use the scanning mode (see Configuring the |
Scanning | scanning mode) to detect small objects or objects in areas far away from the camera. For this, select the Yes value. This mode doesn’t provide absolute detection accuracy, but can improve detection performance |
| No |

| Sensitivity | 33 | Specify the sensitivity of the |
detection tool detector empirically. The value must be in the range [1; 99]. The default value is 33. The preview window displays the sensitivity scale of the |
detection tool detector that relates to the sensitivity parameter. If the scale is green, smoke isn't detected. If the scale is yellow, smoke is detected, but not enough to |
trigger the toolgenerate an event. If the scale is red, smoke is detected and the |
detection tool will triggerdetector will generate an event, if the scale is red through the sampling period (50 seconds by default).
Example. The sensitivity parameter value of 40 means that the
|
detection tool will trigger detector will generate an event when the scale has at least four divisions full over the entire detection period. |
The triggering An event will stop when the scale has less than two divisions full over the detection period. The |
detection tool will trigger detector will generate an event again if the scale has at least four divisions full over the entire detection period |
By default, the entire frame is the detection area. In the preview window, you can specify the detection areas using the anchor points 
(see Configuring a detection area):
- Right-click in the preview window.
- If you want to specify the detection area by one or more rectangles, select Detection area (rectangle). If you specify a rectangular area, the detection tool detector will analyze only this area. The rest of the frame will be ignored.
- If you want to specify the detection area by one or more polygons, select Detection area (polygon). If you specify one or several polygonal areas, the detection tool detector will analyze the entire frame. The part of the frame not included in the specified polygons will be blacked out.
| Note |
|---|
|
You can specify the detection areas similarly to the skip areas of the Scene analytics detection tools (see Configuring the Detection Zone). You must select the detection area (polygon or rectangle) experimentally. For some neural networks the quality of detection will be better with rectangle, for others—with polygon. |
