How to Setup A Loitering Detection Rule (IP4M-1072EW-AI)

The loitering detection rule is used to detect if a person or group are loitering in a specific area set by the user. For more information on how to setup a crowd gathering rule, please refer to the information provided below. 

Setting Up an Intrusion Rule

Step 1: Log in to the web user interface (web UI) for your camera. For more information on how to access the web UI for your camera click here

Step 2: In the web UI, click on Setup>>Event>>IVS. Click on the ( + ) icon to add the rule.

Step 3: Click on Draw Rule to begin drawing the detection 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 until the detection area is created. 

An optional object filter can be set that will allow the rule only to be triggered if it detect certain objects such as a humans, vehicles, non-motor vehicles, or unlicensed vehicles. Set the interval (the amount of time the object or objects will remain in the area before it is triggered), and the duration (the amount of time the rule will be activated). 

Note: Optional active deterrents such as a siren and red/blue LEDs can be enabled that activate once the rule is triggered by enabling the Warning Light and Siren option. Email notifications can be set as well that will send a snapshot of the event to your email by enabling Send Email and Snapshot options. Click Save.
