Configuring an Analytic Profile
A profile consists of profile settings, the behaviors you want to operate on the profile, and the zones you want to monitor for selected
behaviors. The instructions below describe how to configure a profile, but there are many settings and possibilities for each step below;
the following sections provide a detailed understanding of the settings and controls available for each behavior.
1. Select Analytic Configuration from the Events menu.
2. Click New to create a new profile or select the profile you would like to edit.
3. Configure Profile Settings.
4. Calibrate the scene. Click Calibrate Scene, adjust the scene accordingly, and then click Return to Main View.
5. Select a behavior.
6. Configure advanced settings for the behavior.
7. Configure zones for the behavior.
8. Select Activate Behavior to ensure that the behavior and all zones are enabled when you run the profile.
9. Repeat the previous 4 steps to activate additional behaviors on the profile.
10. Click Save.
Calibrating a Scene
The Calibrate Scene option, under Profile Settings, allows you to adjust an analytic profile’s scene setup to reflect the perspective and
viewing angle of your camera. A properly calibrated scene makes the object sizes you set when configuring zones for a behavior more
meaningful, increasing the accuracy of analytics.
It is important that you calibrate the scene before running a profile. If you find that you are encountering an excess of false alarms, or
are not registering normal analytic alarms, you might need to recalibrate the scene for the profile.
1. Select Analytic Configuration from the Events menu.
2. Select the profile for which you want to calibrate the scene, or create a new profile.
3. Click Calibrate Scene
4. (Optional) Click Pause to pause the field of view if the scene contains moving objects. This allows you to more easily calibrate the
scene and focus on near and far objects.
5. Adjust each of the blue boxes to account for objects in the scene. There are boxes for objects at the near left, near right, and an
object in the distance; drag the boxes over appropriate objects, and adjust the size of each box to approximate the size of the object
the box overlays.
6. Set the real-world height of an object used in the calibration.
7. Select “Set Width” and set the width of both a near object in the scene and a far object in the scene.
8. Click Return to Main Menu.
9. Finish adjusting the profile, and then click Save.
Running Profiles
An analytic profile must be running for your camera to monitor the profile for analytic behaviors.
The complexity of each profile, including active behaviors and zones per behavior, increases the processing load on your camera. If the
camera cannot support the processing requirement of a profile, either due to the complexity of the profile itself, or because other profiles
are also running, you will not be able to run the profile.
