6 Configuring Your Camera's Video Analytics
Calibrating your Wi-Fi Camera for Video Analytics
The ADT Wi-Fi indoor and outdoor cameras can record and show you what happens
from all angles. This is a lot of data to filter and manage. Luckily, you don't need to
with Video Analytics – providing you with customised and filtered video alerts.
You can set up customised rules to choose what you want to see. Distinguish between
people, vehicles and animals and alert - or not - according to your rules. Set specific
tripwire and zone alerts for specific areas to customise where you want to see them.
Video Analytics needs to be specifically calibrated and can be done using ADT
Interactive via the app or web browser. The calibration process involves taking five
still images of a person in different locations visible to the camera.
Please note: The Wi-Fi camera should be recalibrated each time it is moved to a
different location.
Camera Calibration
Calibration combined with Video Analytics best practices provides cameras with an
accurate view of each unique location where they are installed. The calibration
process itself is used to more thoroughly customise and provide context for where
a subject could enter, exit, or move around within the field of view. Consider these
camera calibration best practices for setting up Video Analytics below:
Verify that the person's
entire body is in the field of
view for each photo
After taking each photo,
take a few steps backward
relative to the field of view
