    PTZ - Configuring IVS & Face Recognition

    March 22nd, 2023

    For a PTZ, IVS and Face detection are configured per Preset. They can be configured via the Web Interface of the PTZ, or via an NVR.

    Tripwire - Draw a line. Detect when the target crosses the line in the defined direction.
    Intrusion - Draw a shape. Detect when the target enters/exits the area or appears in the area.
    Abandoned Object - Draw a shape. Detect if a target enters the area and stays longer than the set time.
    Missing Object - Draw a shape. Detect if an object is removed from the scene longer than the set time.
    Face Recognition - Compare face capture data to a list of previously captured faces, or uploaded image data.
