Getting Started

3VR’s Heat Map plug-in is a video analytics tool that provides unique traffic analysis capabilities to 3VR VMS. The plugin enables graphic overlay in the form of a heat map displaying the area and frequency of motion with a series of colors ranging between red and blue. Red, yellow, and orange as hot spot while blue and green indicate low traffic areas.

With the Heat Map plug-in installed and enabled, you will be able to generate heat maps in the 3VR VisionPoint Dashboard.
