A motion in the area detector is a tracker detector that operates when the object (objects) makes some actions in a virtual area that is in the camera coverage.  

To configure a motion in the area detector, do the following:

1. Go to the settings panel for a VMDA detection object.
   
2. Click the Add area button (1).
3. In the  Video preview field (3), set, by one by one clicking left mouse button, nodal points of the area which state is to be analysed.Only one area can be added. If there is an attempt to add a second area, the first one will be deleted.
   

4. Make necessary operations with an area. Area operations are shown in the table.

   Operation	Result
   Left mouse click in the video surveillance window	Area’s nodal point addition
   Hover to a nodal point and holding the left  button pressed move the mouse	Area’s nodal point shift
   Hover to a nodal point and press right mouse button	Line deletion.  If there are three nodal points the whole area will be deleted

5. To select an object type for which the detector will trigger, click the  symbol. Available object types are given below.

   1.  Any object. Detector triggers while dealing with any object
   2.  Man. Detector triggers while dealing with any man

   3.  Vehicle. Detector triggers while dealing with any vehicle

      Detection of the following object types can be configured using scripts and registry keys: human, group of humans (with a possibility to count number of people in a group), car, noise, object carried into the area, object carried out of the area, other. See also CAM_VMDA_DETECTOR section of the Programming Guide.

      
      

6. To select a detector type, click the  symbol. Available detector types are given below.

   1.  Any motion in the area. Detector triggers due to any motion in the area

   2.  Entrance into the area. Detector triggers due to object’s entrance into the area

   3.  Exit from the area. Detector triggers due to the exit of object from the area

   4.  Appearance in the area. Detector triggers due to the object’s appearance in the area

7. If the alarm is to be generated when the detector triggers, set the Generate alarm on camera checkbox (4).
8. To save the changes, click the Apply button (5).

A motion in the area detector is now configured.
