Selecting A Line Crossing

Your can create and configure up to 4 line crossings for each camera. These line crossing configurations are called Rules. You can select which Rule you want to create or edit by selecting it from the Rule Number drop down list.

 

To make things easier you can quickly tell which line crossing belongs to which Rule as it has a red Rule Number at the start of the line.

2.Using the Rule Switch check box you can then turn the rule On (ticked) or Off (unticked).

 

Trigger On When The Line Is Crossed From 1 Direction Or Both

There are 3 options as to what direction of movement will trigger LCD. We call these options Rule Types.

 

For simplicity we label the area on one side of the line A and the area on the other side of the line B. The direction of movement is also indicated by the light blue arrow in the middle of the line. To choose a Rule Type first select the Rule Number you want configure then select a Rule Type as described below from the Rule Type drop down list.

A->B - This option will only trigger when an object moves across the line from side A to side B.

B->A - This option will only trigger when an object moves across the line from side B to side A.

A<->B - This option will trigger when an object crosses the line in either direction.

To remove a line crossing click the Red Square at the start of the line to select it and then click the Remove button to delete it.
