Recommendations on configuring smart video detection tools

Before configuring smart video detection tools (see Creating and configuring the Tracker object) consider the following recommendations that could help to reduce false alarms:

1. Configure the Tracker object iteratively and check operation quality in each iteration.
2. The parameters that affect operation quality most are: Minimum size, Maximum size, and Sensitivity.
3. It is recommended to set Sensitivity to zero (left end position of the slider). This will enable automatic sensitivity ranging to ensure reasonable operation quality of the tracker in changing lighting conditions.
4. If lighting is stable, it could be reasonable to adjust the Sensitivity value manually. Set Sensitivity value about 35 to detect objects with low contrast or about 15 to detect contrast object.
5. Minimum size is to be selected so that it is a little less than typical object size on the image.
6. Maximum size is to be selected so that it is a little greater than typical object size on the image, considering that the object can be joined with its shadow.
7. Lowering the Waiting for loss parameter allows excluding triggering of false static objects, while setting it to a higher value could allow not breaking off alarms for overlapping or temporarily disappearing objects in some cases.
