VCA ANALYTICS RULE CONFIGURATION
After enabling VCA and calibrating your All-in-One camera, a VCA rule may be configured. For the
purpose of this example, two separate rules: a basic counting line (tripwire) and a dwell time zone, will
be configured separately.
CONFIGURING A LINE (TRIPWIRE) WITH ON-SCREEN COUNTER
Steps:
1).
To configure a VCA line, navigate to the Setup (Advanced) Tab > VCA > Zones and Rules
settings page.
2).
Right-click in the video preview area and select Zone/Line>Create Line.
3).
Draw the line segment as desired by clicking to place both end points
4).
Assign a Name and Color to the line.
Now, the manner in which the line counts objects must be configured. The two most common counting
methods using a line are:
i. Presence – Count will increase whenever an object makes contact with the line, regardless
of direction.
ii. Directional - (located under Counting Line) – Count increases when the line is crossed
toward a defined direction.
In the above example and for the purpose of this instructional, directional counting is used. To proceed:
5).
Under the Counting Line section of the line settings, check-off both Direction A and Direction
B. In the above example, Direction A was renamed "Counting Wire 1 - Out" and Direction B
was renamed "Counting Wire 1 - In" for easy recognition.
6).
Click Apply at the bottom of the window to save the newly configured counting line.
