Set the detection area.
For details on how to set the detection area, refer to the following.
3.2 Set the detection area

Set the detection area group as follows.
Select [Detection area group number]. You can select a group number from 1 to 4.
Set the [Detection area group name] of the detection area group.
Select the detection area to include in the group.
Click the setting button (floppy icon) to apply the setting.
Check the learning accuracy.

Press [Display] to start the demo screen.
Refer to the following for details about the demo screen.

4.2.1 Image selection screen for learning
The status of the learning area in each image can also be checked on the image list screen.
If the learning area is reset, check whether the learning area is enabled or disabled before re-learning.
Switching the Detector resets the learning area.
For models with [RAM capacity expansion mode] of [Ext. software] on the camera, [RAM capacity expansion mode] must be turned on prior to setting the learning area.
This chapter describes the settings to be adjusted in case of trouble in the following cases. Please refer to the table below for details of the problem and refer to the appropriate chapter.

Make detailed settings related to detection. These settings are common to all detection areas 1 to 16.
1.
[Alarm notification operation setting]
 
Sets the alarm notification operation when the alarm continues to active.
[Periodic notification]: Alarm notification is performed at [Detection time] interval.
[Continuous notification]: Alarm notification is performed continuously at [Alarm deactivation time] interval of camera setting.
[One-time notification]: Alarm notification is performed only the first time that the alarm condition has been reached.
Default: [Periodic notification]
2.
[Exclude a person from scene change]
 
Select whether to include the area where the person is detected in the scene change detection.
Default: [On]
When [Exclude a person from scene change] is set to [Off], the person area in the detection area is displayed in red.
When [Exclude a person from scene change] is set to [On], the person area in the detection area is excluded from the scene change.
3.
[Human identification threshold (head)]
 
Set the detection threshold for the head. The smaller the value, the easier it is to detect as a person, but it is easier to detect incorrectly.
1 to 99
Default: 50
4.
[Human identification threshold (whole body)]
 
Set the detection threshold for the whole body. The smaller the value, the easier it is to detect as a person, but it is easier to detect incorrectly.
1 to 99
Default: 50
[Human identification threshold (head)] and [Human identification threshold (whole body)] are used for characterization when [Exclude a person from scene change] is [On].
5.
[Detector used in black and white video]
 
Select the Detector to be used when the input image is black and white. When [None] is selected, the alarm will not be activated.
[None], [1], [2], [3]
Default: None
6.
[Stop alarm in low light conditions]
 
When set to [On], detection stops when the illuminance is below the set [Low light threshold].
Default: [Off]
7.
[Low light threshold]
 
Select this if [Stop alarm in low light conditions] is set to [On]. Detection stops when the illumination level falls below the set illumination threshold.
[5 lx]、[10 lx]、[20 lx]、[30 lx]、[40 lx]、[50 lx]
Default: 10 lx
Illumination intensity is estimated from the image, resulting in an error. The estimated illuminance is displayed on the demo screen when [Stop alarm in low light conditions] is turned on. Especially if the brightness differs greatly within the angle of view, the error will be large. For this reason, this function is recommended for use in an environment where the brightness of the entire screen clearly changes, such as when lighting is ON or OFF. Confirm operation in the actual environment before use. When the input image is black and white, detection stops regardless of the illumination intensity.
In [HTTP notification destination], set the notification destination (1 to 4) and the notification interval for alarm notification to the HTTP server.
1.
[Transmission destination 1, Transmission destination 2, Transmission destination 3, Transmission destination 4]
 
Alarm information can be individually notified in up to four locations. The settings of the four notification destinations are the same.

・In [Download], a zip file is generated in the following folder specified on the [Save in] screen of [Option] in iCT.


[Option]-[Save in]\AISceneDetection\yyyyMMdd_hhmmss

・Note that Learning images and Detector stored on the SD Memory Card will be deleted when [Upload] is executed. (If [Detector only] is selected for [Download Files] in [Download], Learning images will not be deleted.)



・For models with [Ext. software] [RAM capacity expansion mode] on the camera, [RAM capacity expansion mode] must be turned on prior to performing [Upload]. (If it cannot be turned ON, follow the manual procedures below.)



・Instead of performing [Upload] in [Maintenance], it is also possible to copy data directly to the SD memory card by following the procedure below.


Format the SD memory card with the camera


② Insert SD memory card into PC


③ Unzip the file generated by [Download]


④ Create the following folder (the following is when the SD memory card is recognized as the D drive on the PC)


D:\adamapp\

⑤ Copy the folder unzipped in ③ (folder name: AISceneChangeDetection) to the folder created in ④


⑥ Insert the SD memory card into the camera and restart the camera
