The Glow detection module can be configured using the System settings menu, under the Hardware tab, on the Glow detection control panel, using the Camera settings.

The Glow detection module is set up as follows:

  1. Go to the Glow Detection control panel.
  2. Click Settings. The Detection settings window will appear.
  3. Specify the location of lights sources in the image which are to be tracked by detection:
    1. Click Stop video to capture the video image.
    2. On the captured video image specify areas to be analyzes (1). Click the left mouse button in the frame area and stretch it to the required size. The minimal allowed size of the analyzed area is 15х15 pixels. The maximum allowed size of the analyzed area is 200х200 pixels.
      Areas of interest are numbered in the order of creation starting from 1. The number of analyzed area is not limited. Adding the area at the right from the video image the corresponding button is displayed (2).
    3. Specify the required size, shape and location of sectors in the area of interest moving their borders. Selecting the area take into account that the local change of illuminance and specular surface near lamps in the area of interest can cause the false detection triggering.
    4. To specify the area again click the button with its number in the list of areas and mark the area in the video image frame (2).
    5. Click the  button next to the Area of interest button (3).
  4. Specify the glow detection sensitivity:
    1. Go to the Parameters tab in the Detection settings window (1).
    2. Using the up-down buttons enter the value of sensitivity parameter in the Sensitivity field (2). The optimal value is selected experimentally by testing detection on triggering in the required conditions. The value range is from 0 to 100. The more sensitivity the more possibility of false triggering. The less sensitivity, the more possibility of losing event.
  5. Click the OK button (3).

Configuring the Glow detection module is complete.
