Setting Common Detection Zones and Masks

You can set detection zones and/or masks which are common to all situation analysis detection tools.

To set common detection zones and/or masks, you must perform the following steps:

1. In the Detection Tools list, highlight a Situation analysis object (1) which offers a means of analyzing the situation in the field of view of the required video camera.

2. In the viewing tile (2) set the nodes of the closed area, in order, inside or outside of which you want to create a detection zone or mask.

   Note

    When the area is being constructed, the nodes are connected by a two-color dotted line which outlines the area's borders

   Action	Result
   Left-click in the viewing tile	Creates a new area node
   Right-click on a created node	Deletes the area node
   Position the cursor on a node and hold down the left mouse button while you move the mouse	Moves the area node
   Click the button	Deletes the area

3. When a closed area is set, the icon bar appears for creating detection zones or masks inside or outside the area. To utilize an icon's function, click it with the left mouse button.

   Icon	Executed function
   	Creates a detection mask inside the outlined area
   	Creates a detection mask outside the outlined area

   	Creates a detection zone outside the outlined area

   Note

    If you select a mask icon, the mask created will be visualized in the viewing tile as a dimmed area

   
   

4. Repeat steps 2–3 to set the necessary common detection zones and/or masks.
