create the People counter detector, do the following:

- the Human pose detector (see Configuring the Human pose detector).
- Below

- the Human pose detector, click Create… → People counter.
People counter counts the number of people in the specified area using the metadata of the Pose Detectionthe Human pose detector.
A triggerAn event, on the basis of which a macro can be started (see see Configuring start conditions for event-driven macros), can be generated if the number of people in the frame meets the specified conditions.

- Unlike the Multiple
Objects detection tool - objects detector (see
Settings specific to - Configuring Multiple objects), the counter generates events of just one
type—triggering- type—triggering.
- Unlike the
Neurocounter - Neural counter (see Configuring
Neurocounter- the Neural counter), People counter
counts - counts only people.

If necessary, you can change the detection tool detector parameters. The list of parameters is given in the table:
ask | Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|
| Object features |
| Record mask to archive | Yes |
M| Mask is recorded to the archive by default. To disable the parameter, select the No value |
| No |
| Other |
| Enable | Yes | The |
detection tool | detector is enabled by default. To disable the |
detection tool the value| value |
| No |
| Name | People counter | Enter the |
detection tool | detector name or leave the default name |
| Type | People counter | Name of the |
detection tool | detector type (non-editable field) |
| Basic settings |
| Alarm when value | In range | Specify when the |
detection tool must trigger| detector must generate an event: when the number of people in the specified area is within the set range |
, | or out of the range |
| Out of range |
| End value of alarm range settings | 100 | Specify the range of the number of people in the frame. The value must be in the range [0, 100] |
| Event interval | 1 | Specify the interval in seconds between two consecutive |
triggerings detection tool detector when the number of people in the frame continuously meets the specified conditions. The value must be in the range [1, 10000] |
| Number of measurements in a row to trigger detection |
| Specify the minimum number of frames with the set number of people |
for detection tool to trigger. The detector to generate an event. The value must be in the range [1, 20].
The recommended (default) value |
is is 2.
Increasing the value can help eliminate false |
alarmsevents, but increases the risk of skips.
Decreasing the value can help reduce skips, |
but increases but increases the probability of false |
alarmsevents |
| Start value of alarm range settings | 5 | Specify the range of the number of people in the frame. The value must be in the range [0, 100] |
In By default, the entire frame is the area for detection. In the preview window, you can specify the areas for detection using the anchor points points 
(see Configuring the Detection Zone). By default, the entire frame is the area for detection.a detection area).

Configuration of the People counter is complete.
In the Surveillance window on the layout next to the counter icon, you can add text and the number of people counted by the detection tool detector (see Displaying the number of detected objects).
