Live View Analytics

Live View Analytics lets you track different targets during live video viewing and recording. Simply select a detection type, and the smart analysis will search for suspicious events and trigger recordings on-the-fly. You can also use the preview mode to fine-tune parameter settings with live camera feeds so that individual cameras can deliver accurate results.

Note:

  • Live View Analytics is no longer supported in Surveillance Station 9.2.1 or above.

To set up Live View Analytics:

  1. Select an Analytics Type from the drop-down menu:
    • None: Disable all other settings on this page.
    • Motion Detection: Search for movements in specified areas.
    • Missing Object: Search for missing objects in specified areas.
    • Foreign Object: Search for foreign objects in specified areas.
    • Camera Occlusion: Detect if the camera lens is covered.
    • Focus Lost: Detect if the camera focus is lost.
    • No-Idle Zone: Search for people and objects that linger in restricted zones for longer than the dwell time.
  2. Select a Sensitivity level. A higher sensitivity level will yield more detection results but may also cause more false alarms.
  3. If you are using Foreign Object, select an Object Size. An object size of 1x represents one one-hundredth of the detection zone size. Click and drag the yellow rectangle to resize and reposition it. The area it covers must be smaller than the object you wish to detect.
  4. If you are using Foreign Object, select a Dwell time.
  5. If you are using Motion Detection, Missing Object, or Foreign Object, use any of the following options to set up the Detection Zone:
    • Click Add and select cells on the grid to add to the detection zone.
    • Click Delete and select cells on the grid to remove from the detection zone.
    • Click Select All to add all cells to the detection zone.
    • Click Clear All to remove all cells from the detection zone.
  6. Enable the following options to enhance the monitoring:
    • Show detection frames: Detection frames will appear to indicate the location of the detected targets.
    • Show path tracking: Tracking paths will appear to indicate the movements of people or objects. This option is only available for Missing Object, Foreign Object, and No-Idle Zone.
    • Show detection zone: The defined detection zone will appear to help you identify the detected targets' activities more easily. This option is only available for No-Idle Zone.
    • Preview: You can view the analysis in live video to check and fine-tune parameter settings.
  7. Click Save.
