Binding Cameras to Plug-In

Need to include Video.

Configure Per-Camera Plug-In Settings

After binding the plug-in to cameras, links will appear under Bound Cameras for each camera.

1. Click a link (for example Edit “8. Street View”) to edit the settings for that camera.
   The following settings must be configured for each camera bound to the Advanced Object Tracking plug-in.

Drawing Tracking Inclusion Zone

For each camera that is bound to the Advanced Object Tracking plug-in, you may define one or more zones that will be analyzed for Advanced Object events.

Zones are specified in the Zones tab of the Edit Settings window. To create a new zone:

1. Click the polygon icon.

2. Click the video player to begin drawing a zone. Each click of the mouse will create a new line segment. To complete the polygon, click the mouse over your start position.
   
   Edit the polygon by clicking and dragging its end points. Sections of the polygon may not overlap.In this example, we have drawn the tracking zone over the sidewalk area in the video feed.

3. When the zone has been created, edit the Name of the zone and make sure that [ ]Enabled is checked.

4. Repeat for any remaining zones you wish to draw in the field of view. The area outside of an inclusion zone will not be analyzed for objects.

Setting Maximum and Minimum Object Size

A minimum and maximum object size should be established for each camera bound to the plug-in. Once set, the plug-in will only analyze the video feed for objects falling within the specified size range. Objects larger and smaller will not be tracked.

The minimum and maximum object size should be configured with the size range of targeted objects in mind. For example, the Sidewalk zone established in Drawing Tracking Inclusion Zone will capture both cars and pedestrians. You can restrict the tracking analysis to either cars or pedestrians by carefully configuring the minimum and maximum object size.
