Latitude / longitude sending settings
When [Latitude / longitude sendings] is set to [On], the software will send the object detection results as latitude and longitude position information in ONVIF. For cameras other than the PTZ camera, the following setting screen is displayed. For PTZ cameras, the [Marker setting] and [Detailed setting] menus are not displayed. [Marker setting] and [Detailed setting] are not required for PTZ cameras.
Basic settings
[Camera Installation Info]
Set the camera position. If [Azimuth] > [Automatic azimuth calculation] is checked, AI-VMD will calculate the azimuth angle from [Camera Latitude/Longitude] and [Latitude/Longitude of center of angle of view] on the map. 
 
[Camaera Latitude]
 
Set the latitude of the camera's installation position.
-90.0000000 ~ 90.0000000
Default setting: 0
 
[Camera Longitude]
 
Set the longitude of the camera's installation position.
-180.0000000 ~ 180.0000000
Default setting: 0
 
[Latitude of center of angle of view]
 
Sets the latitude of the center of the angle of view. The “+” on the image screen is the center of the angle of view.
-90.0000000 ~ 90.0000000
Default setting: 0
 
[Longitude of center of angle of view]
 
Sets the longitude of the center of the angle of view. The “+” on the image screen is the center of the angle of view.
-180.0000000 ~ 180.0000000
Default setting: 0
 
[Azimuth]
 
[Automatic azimuth calculation] is checked.
The azimuth angle is calculated from the latitude and longitude of the camera and the latitude and longitude of the center of the angle of view.
 
[Automatic azimuth calculation] is unchecked.
Set the azimuth angle of the camera's installation position. Setting the latitude and longitude of the center of the field of view is not required.

0.0 ~ 359.9


Default setting: 0

・The latitude and longitude information of the camera installation location should be obtained from the map information such as the Google map.


・The latitude and longitude information for the center of the angle of view should be entered as the latitude and longitude of the ground level.



[Automatic azimuth calculation] is checked.

・For PTZ cameras, if the PAN operation is performed before clicking the [Set] button, the azimuth angle will not be automatically calculated after the PAN operation. If a PAN operation is performed between entering the latitude and longitude of the center of the angle of view and clicking the [Set] button, enter the latitude and longitude of the center of the angle of view again.


・For PTZ cameras, once the azimuth angle is set by clicking the [Setup] button, there is no need to re-set the azimuth angle after any PTZ operation; AI-VMD uses the camera's PTZ information to output latitude and longitude.



[Automatic azimuth calculation] is unchecked.

・The azimuth angle is the angle of the camera's center clockwise with the north at 0 degrees. Measure using a compass.


The following settings are the same as those of [Speed setting].
[Camera height]
Set the height at which the camera is installed.
Default setting: 3.5 m
[Marker setting]
■ Setting procedure
Draw markers in at least two locations in the drawing area. Up to four markers can be drawn.
Next, enter a [Photographic subject size] for the drawn markers.
Clicking [Clear] clears the drawn markers.
When [Reflects markers in Depth Setting] is clicked, the markers set in the depth setting window are drawn.
[Marker setting] is not required for PTZ cameras.
Example of Marker Setting
For two markers
For four markers
To achieve higher-precision detection, please set the markers as follows:
- All markers should be set according to the actual height of the person.

- Place markers at a minimum of two locations within the white frame: one near and one far from the camera.
(Setting three or more markers may improve accuracy.)


- Enter the exact height of the person in [Photographic subject size].
Detailed setting
The value to be set here can be calculated automatically by the product. However, direct input may improve the calculation accuracy of latitude and longitude. If you want to enter the data directly, select [Use the value directly entered in ①] or [Use the value directly entered in ②] on the [Detailed setting].
[① Camera tilt angle]
Enter the tilt angle at which the camera is located.
Recommended range is 10°to 45°
[② Distance from directly under the camera to the center of the angle of view]
Enter the distance from the bottom where the camera is located to the center of the angle of view.
The center of the field angle is displayed as + in the live image.

Alarm suppression operation specifications
 
Conditions for starting alarm suppression
Alarm suppression starts when an intrusion or crossing line is detected in the alarm suppression start area/line.
 
Operation During Alarm suppression
During the alarm suppression duration, no alarm notification will be sent even if detection occurs in other areas or on other lines.
If a new detection occurs in the alarm suppression start area/line during the alarm suppression duration, the alarm notification suppression timer is reset and the suppression time count starts again.
 
Alarm suppression start area/line operation
The alarm suppression start area or line itself will not trigger an alarm even if an intrusion or line crossing is detected (it only functions as a trigger for starting suppression).
 
Alarm suppression start area (white frame in the figure below)
 
This is the detection area that triggers the start of alarm notification suppression (a state in which alarms are temporarily not issued).
