How to setup Object Detection on my X-Series device?

The Object Detection function on X-Series devices is designed to identify objects such as baggage, purses, or potentially dangerous materials left or lost within a pre-defined region. Utilizing advanced video analytics, the system monitors the designated area for objects that remain stationary beyond a specified duration. When such an object is detected, the system triggers an alarm, enabling a series of customizable actions, such as sending notifications to personnel or activating security protocols, to ensure safety and prompt response in environments like airports, public spaces, or critical infrastructure.

Step 1: Access the Device

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

Step 2: Navigate to the Object Detection Settings

• Go to Main Menu > Setup > AI > Setup > Object Detection tab.

Step 3: Configure Object Detection Settings

Adjust the following options to meet your requirements:

• Channel: Select the camera channel to configure for Object Detection .
• Enable: Toggle this option to activate the Object Detection feature for the selected channel.
• Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity level for detecting objects. Higher values increase sensitivity, while lower values reduce false triggers.
