Configuring Per-Camera

Plug-In Settings

  1. After binding the plug-in to cameras, links will appear under Bound Cameras for each camera.

  2. Click a link (for example Edit “7. Lobby”) to edit the settings for that camera.

  3. The following settings must be configured for each camera bound to the Dwell plug-in:

Drawing Dwell Zone

For each camera that is bound to the Dwell plug-in, you must define at least one dwell zone that will be analyzed for Dwell events.
Zones are specified in the Dwell Zone tab of the Edit Settings window.

Info

This is a required step. If you do not draw a Dwell zone, no Dwell events will be generated on the camera.

Use the following steps to draw a Dwell zone:

  1. Click the Polygon icon

  2. Click the video player to begin drawing a zone. Each click of the mouse will create a new line segment. To complete the polygon, click the mouse over your start position.

  3. Edit the polygon by clicking and dragging its end points. Sections of the polygon may not overlap.

  4. After creating the zone, edit the Name of the zone and make sure that [ ]Enabled is checked.

  5. If desired, repeat steps 1-4 to create additional Dwell zones.

    The above is an example of a Dwell camera with two Dwell zones.

  6. The above is an Example of a Dwell hot spot.

If a Dwell zone is created that is smaller than the size of the dwelling object, the Dwell plug-in will consider any object that envelops the zone as dwelling in the zone. This allows for the creation of Dwell “hot spots”, specific points of interest where you wish to capture Dwell events.
