How To Setup An Abandoned Object Rule (IP4M-T1044EW-AI)

The abandoned object rule allows the camera to trigger an event if an object is placed in a set area for a specified amount of time. This is useful to keep track of certain areas in which objects are not to be placed. For more information on how to setup an abandoned object rule, please refer to the information provided below. 

Setting Up An Abandoned Object Rule

Step 2: In the web UI, click on Setup>>Event>>Smart Plan. Click on the IVS icon and click Save. 

Note: If a Smart Plan is not enabled properly on your camera IVS features will not work. Please make sure to enable the Smart Plan feature before continuing. 

Step 3: Click on the IVS option in the Event menu then click on the ( + ) icon to add the rule. From the drop down menu, select Abandoned Object. Click on Draw Rule to begin setting a detection area. Use your mouse to draw an area on the interface. 

This rule requires you to draw at least a four point area on the interface to function. To draw an area, click the mouse on the interface and move it down or up to create a line. Once the line is created, move the mouse left or right to create another line and repeat the process. Right click on the interface to set the area on the screen then left click on the interface when done to set the area. 

Step 4: Enable the Record option as well as any other options you would like to set for this option and click Save to save and apply the settings.
