The PID (Perimeter Intrusion Detection) feature allows you to define an area of the camera's image and then trigger an event when something moves into or out of that area.
Note: You can not enable Cross Counting when PID, LCD or SOD are enabled and vice versa.
Camera
Lists all compatible AI cameras on the recorder.
Perimeter Configuration
You can define up to 4 perimeters as shown in the PID Setup section by clicking the Cog icon. You will need to define at least one area so that the recorder knows where to monitor.
Enabling PID
To enable or disable PID for each camera just tick or untick the Switch check box.
Please note that PID will only be enabled whenever smart detection features are active as specified in the Smart Schedule.
Sensitivity
By setting the Sensitivity you can avoid false triggers or capture slight movements.
1 is the lowest sensitivity level and will only trigger when there is a large amount of movement where something clearly crosses into or out of the perimeter area. Setting a low sensitivity level can prevent false triggers for something like a tree or bush moving in the wind.
4 is the highest sensitivity level and will trigger with the slightest movement over the perimeter. High sensitivity levels are more suited to internal cameras away from environmental conditions.
Scene
You should set the Scene to match where the camera has been installed. Setting the Scene correctly allows the recorder to make allowances for typical light levels and produce more accurate results. You can choose between Indoor or Outdoor from the Scene drop down list to best suit the camera's installation.
Alarm Handling
Clicking the Alarm button will open the Alarm Handling screen where you can set what actions the recorder will take when a perimeter is crossed. For more information on setting up alarm handling see the Alarm Menu - Smart section.
Saving Changes
When you are happy with the current settings click the Apply button to save your changes. If you exit the window without saving any changes will be lost.
