Measurement Units
Allows the measurements units to be switched between Metric and Imperial formats. For more
information, please refer to the Measurement Units topic.
Metadata Format
The metadata stream contains a complete description of every moving and stationary target, as well as
additional diagnostic data to enable troubleshooting and optimum configuration. To save network
bandwidth, the default metadata stream does not include a lot of the diagnostic data. The specific
contents of the metadata stream can be configured with this control.
The metadata stream can contain any selection of the following sub-streams:
Event
Contains information about events (alarms) raised due to objects triggering detection rules.
Object
Contains detailed information about each object tracked by the VCA engine including bounding box,
object trail and object properties.
Counting
Contains the values of any counters that have been configured.
Do not send empty metadata packets
Check this option to save bandwidth consumed by the metadata. Metadata is only sent if the metadata is
different from the previously transmitted metadata frame. Note that if any diagnostic metadata is enabled,
metadata will always be sent, and this option has no effect.
Blob
Contains the blob-map data. This can be used to show the output of the object detection stage of the
VCA algorithm. Enable this option for advanced performance analysis. For normal use it's recommended
to keep this option disabled due to the increased bandwidth required by the transmission of the blob-map.
Tamper Diagnostics
Contains the tamper detection diagnostic data. This can be enabled to show the output of the tamper
detection module. This can be useful when configuring the tamper detection filter. For normal use, this
option should be disabled due to the increased bandwidth required by the transmission of the tamper
detection debug data.
Counting Line Diagnostics
Contains the counting line diagnostic data. This can be enabled to show the internal operation of the
counting line module. This can be useful when determining the optimum calibration width for a counting
line. For more information about the counting line and the diagnostic data, refer to the Counting Line
topic.
Scene Change Diagnostics
Contains the scene change diagnostic data. This can be enabled to show the internal operation of the
scene change detection module. This can be useful when configuring the scene change detection
thresholds (Learning Scene... trigger). For normal use, this option should be disabled due to the
increased bandwidth required by the transmission of the scene change detection data.
