Event Definitions

By themselves, Computer Vision models output metadata about what has been detected. While somewhat useful, it's difficult to make business decisions (either through analytics or via alerting) without grouping or classifying this metadata. This is what Event Definitions do.

Event Definitions can be applied to both Live Cameras and Virtual Cameras. You'll find Event Definitions on both. Simply click the [+] icon.

Event Definition Overview

Directional Count

Directional counts are useful for understanding if objects are crossing a certain threshold. It's useful for use cases like people/vehicle counting and intrusion zones.

Directional counts can have multiple points - simply click the point icon, or double click on the image to add another point. They also have directions, and both Entry and Exit directions can have additional tags if desired.

Directional Count

Zones

Zones are useful for understanding the presence of an object in an area, or the length of time in which an object stays in an area. Zones fulfil a variety of use cases including safety, queue management, intrusion detection, weapon detection etc.

Like Directional counts, zones can have multiple points - simply click the point icon, or double click on the image to add another point.
