7.4. Artificial Intelligence

Smart analysis is the vital function of 4.0 NVR, and this chapter will give clear and specific instructions in

terms of intelligent performance, process and parameter configuration.

7.4.1. Brief Introduction

The current Smart performance of NVR4.0 includes:

1. Behavior Analysis: target counting, Object Left/Lost, Area Detection, Line crossing, Scene Change.

2. Some NVR have: Scene Change, Face detection, License Plate list, Sound Detection, Fire Detection,

VQD.

Note: The behavior analysis can support both front-end and local detection modes (based on the actual

capacity of the product). scene changes only support the local detection mode.

7.4.2. Enable Smart Analysis

Some NVR models disable local smart by default. To enable smart analysis, first open the device

parameters interface and set the preview capability to the mode with smart analysis, as shown in Figure

7.21.

Figure7.21 Model

Note: Currently NVR2.0 smart function only supports I8H protocol, so only when I8H protocol accesses IPC

can the front-end detection be turned on.

7.4.3. Function Configuration

7.4.3.1. Detect Mode

As shown in Figure 7.22, there are "IPC detection" and "local detection" mode, the default is the former.

The IPC detection mode requires the IPC to support smart detection. If IPC front-end detection is not

supported, the NVR Local Detection mode is then selected.

Figure7.22 Detection Mode

BioSense Series Network Video Recorder User Manual

7.4.3.2. Behavior Analysis

Behavior analysis includes the following functions: target counting, object left/lost, area detection, line

crossing detection.

The target triggering rule is based on the center of the target's lower edge (except height limit detection),

which is generally the position of the human foot. So when setting the detection line or detection area,

the line / area should not be suspended in the air.

The minimum height of the target should not be less than 1/32 of the image height. the minimum width

should not be less than 1/64 of the image width. the maximum width of the proposed object should not

exceed 1/4 of the image width. the maximum height should not exceed 1/2 of the image height.

Set the detection line or the detection area, do not appear too close to the target location. It also requires

the scope view of camera can not be too small, the target can not be too large.

Precautions:

1. Camera installation: to install vertically, to maintain static, to avoid occlusion of vision, to make height

appropriate (higher than two meters).

2. Scene selection: to ensure adequate lighting, reduce the complexity of the scene, try avoid areas that

may affect the accuracy, such as the detection area where there are leaves shaking, severe shadows,

birds, insects and more, try to avoid Glass, floor tiles, lake and other reflective scene selection.

3. Alert area requirements: the warning area used for intelligent analysis is required to exceed more

than 1/8 of the video screen area. if it is cordon, the distance between the sides of the line should

exceed the image width or 1/4 of the height.

7.4.3.3. Smart Motion
