Counting Line
A counting line is a detection filter optimized for bi-directional object counting (e.g. people or vehicles) in
busier detection scenarios. Examples of such applications may include:
• People counting with overhead cameras in a retail environment.
• Vehicle counting with overhead cameras on public highways.
The counting line filter can be enabled when the unit has been configured with
VCAcount/VCAaccess/VCAadvanced/VCApro license. In some scenes such as entrance with camera
over- head installed, the counting line typically will generate a higher accuracy count than using the
counters provided as part of VCAsurveillance.
NOTE: The maximum number of counting line filters that can be applied per video channel is 5.
Enabling the Counting Line
Enable the counting line filter on a detection line in the desired direction(s) by checking the appropriate
box in the properties inspector. An event is generated every time an object crosses the line in the
selected direction. If multiple objects cross the line together, multiple corresponding events are
generated. The events generated by the counting line can be tied to counters in the normal manner.
