How to setup Perimeter Intrusion on my X-Series device?

Applies to Product: All X-Series equipment
Applies to Firmware: 8.2.2 and newer

Perimeter intrusion detection is an advanced AI feature on X-Series devices that enables you to define a custom perimeter within the camera’s field of view and detect events when objects cross it. You can also specify the direction of movement that triggers an event, enhancing security by focusing on specific intrusion scenarios. Below are the steps to set up this feature.

Step 1: Access the Device

• Log in to your X-Series device using your credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to Perimeter Intrusion Settings

• Go to Main Menu > Setup > AI > Setup > Perimeter Intrusion tab.

Step 3: Configure Perimeter Intrusion Settings

Adjust the following options to meet your requirements:

• Channel: Select the camera channel to configure for perimeter intrusion detection.
• Enable: Toggle this option to activate the perimeter intrusion feature for the selected channel.
• Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity level for detecting objects or persons crossing the perimeter. Higher values increase sensitivity, while lower values reduce false triggers.
• Detection Target: Choose the types of objects to detect:
  • Pedestrian: Detects human-like figures.
  • Motor Vehicle: Detects motorized vehicles.
  • Non-Motorized Vehicle: Detects non-motorized vehicles (e.g., bicycles).
  • Select one or multiple options based on your needs.
• Rule Number: Select the rule to configure (up to 4 rules can be set per channel).
• Rule Enable: Toggle to activate the selected rule.
• Rule Type: Define the direction of movement that triggers an event:
  • A→B: Triggers when an object moves from point A to point B across the perimeter.
  • B→A: Triggers when an object moves from point B to point A across the perimeter.
  • A↔B: Triggers for movement in either direction across the perimeter.
• Draw Rule: In the live video feed, draw a perimeter by clicking to set points and create a shape.  The drawn rule will also give you an example of the rule type so you can cross reference and make sure its set to the direction you would like.

Step 4: Save Settings

• Click Save to apply all configured settings.

Scheduling Perimeter Intrusion Detection on X-Series Devices

To ensure the Perimeter Intrusion Detection feature on your X-Series device is active during specific times, you next need to configure a schedule for when the AI feature operates. Follow these steps to set up the schedule for Line Crossing Detection.

Step 5: Configure the Line Crossing Detection Schedule

1. Navigate to Main Menu > Setup > AI > Setup > Schedule.
2. Select the Channel you want to schedule Perimeter Intrusion Detection for.
3. Click the Enable option to activate scheduling for the selected channel.
4. From the list of available AI features, select Perimeter Intrusion.
5. In the schedule interface, click and drag to draw a box around the days of the week and hours of the day when you want the Line Crossing Detection feature to be active.
6. (Optional) Use the Copy option to apply the same schedule to other channels, if desired, or configure each channel individually.
7. Click Save to confirm the schedule settings.

Notes

• Ensure the schedule aligns with your security needs, such as enabling Perimeter Intrusion Detection during specific hours (e.g., nighttime or off-business hours).
• Verify the schedule after saving to confirm the feature is active during the intended times.

Configuring Triggered Actions for Perimeter Intrusion Detection on X-Series Devices

To enhance the functionality of Perimeter Intrusion Detection on your X-Series device, you can configure specific actions to trigger when a line crossing event is detected. This step is optional but allows for customized responses such as notifications, recordings, or alerts. Below are the steps to set up triggered actions.

Step 6: Configure Triggered Actions (Optional)

1. Navigate to Main Menu > Alarm > AI > Perimeter Intrusion.
2. Set up the desired actions to trigger when a Perimeter intrusion event is detected:
   • Channel: Select the camera channel to apply the alarm settings to.
   • Buzzer: Enable to make the XVR/NVR emit a beep when a Perimeter intrusion is detected.
   • Latch Time: Specify the duration (in seconds) for the buzzer to sound after detection.
   • Post Recording: Set the duration (in seconds) for the device to continue recording after the Perimeter intrusion event ends.
   • Send Email: Enable to send an email notification when a Perimeter intrusion occurs (requires email configuration in Network Settings).
   • Show Message: Enable to display an on-screen message when a Perimeter intrusion is detected.
   • Full Screen: Enable to display the camera feed in full-screen mode upon detection.
   • FTP Picture & Video Upload: Enable to upload pictures or videos to an FTP server when a Perimeter intrusion occurs (requires FTP configuration in Storage Settings).
   • Cloud Picture & Cloud Video: Enable to upload pictures or videos to a cloud storage service when a Perimeter intrusion occurs (requires cloud configuration in Storage Settings).
   • Enable Record: Enable to initiate recording when a Perimeter intrusion is detected.
   • Record Channel: Select the channel(s) to record upon detection. By default, the configured channel is selected, but additional channels can be included if desired.
3. Click Save to confirm the alarm settings.
