How To Use A Loitering Detection Rule On An Amcrest Camera (IP4M-1063EW-AI_V2)

Loitering Detection is used to detect if a person or group are loitering in a specific area set by the user. A preset must be established before adding a IVS rule. For more information on how to setup the rule please refer to the information provided below. 

Step 1: Open a web user interface (Web UI) of your device and log in. For more information on how to access the web UI, click here.

Step 2: Access the main menu and click on AI. Click "Please add a preset first".

Note: If a preset is already established, click +Preset to add an additional preset. 

Step 4: Click Add Preset and use the PTZ directional arrows to set a PTZ preset if needed. Click the Apply icon to save the preset then click OK. 

Step 5: Click +Preset and select the created preset. Select IVS, then click Next. 

Step 6: Click IVS.

Step 7: Click Add Rule and select Loitering Detection from the dropdown menu. Use your mouse to draw a detection area on the interface. 

By default the rule will be set to trigger if multiple people are within the detection area for a duration of 5 seconds. However, you can adjust the duration if needed from 1-600 seconds. 

Note: This camera also supports Auto Tracking. This will allow the camera to automatically track the object until it is no longer visible in the detection area or for a duration of 15-300 seconds. 

Step 8: Click Playback to retain events to a microSD card. This will allow you to view IVS events in the playback menu. Select any additional options, such as a siren, which will allow the camera to produce an audible siren, or email to send a notification of the event to an entered email address.
