Click [Setup >>] to display the “Depth setting” menu.
Depth setting
Depth setting method
Select the depth setting method.
On: Set depth manually to the camera. Off: Depth is not set.
Initial setting: Off
[Use “inch” as unit]
If checked, cm will change to inch. Initial setting: Without check
Example with “Depth setting” set to “On”
Setting procedure
Draw marker 1 and marker 2 in two positions in the drawing area.
Then, enter each “Photographic subject size” for marker 1 and marker 2.
Click [Clear] to clear the drawn marker.
Example of depth setting
Note:
- Enter the “Photographic subject size” (height) between 100 cm and 200 cm. Also, draw straight line markers where the actual heights occupy.
- Draw the markers at two distant positions in the drawing area, one in front and one in the back. If the two markers are close together, depth may not be set properly.
When “Depth setting” is “Off”
There is no depth setting.
Note:
- If you often cannot detect humans with “On”, you may be able to improve that by selecting “Off”.
Size setting
Only the humans detected with sizes between the maximum and the minimum sizes
trigger alarms.
Max. size
Set the maximum size of humans to detect. Set the size of humans against the
photographic subject set in “Depth setting”.
100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300%, Unlimited
Initial setting: 300%
Min. size
Set the minimum size of humans to detect. Set the size of humans against the
photographic subject set in “Depth setting”.
10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%Initial setting: 50%
Select a preset position (PTZ camera only)
For PTZ cameras, the depth and size settings are set for each preset position.
Select a preset position where settings are made as follows.
- Preset positions 1 to 16 : Preset positions 1 to 16 settings
- Other preset positions : Preset positions 17 to 256 and settings other than preset positions (common)
AI-VMD information addition
Set whether to add AI-VMD information (detection frames and types of detection
objects) to the video data and whether to display detection frames or loci in
the live video in the web browser.
If you set it to “On (with live display [with blue frame])”, a blue frame is
displayed to highlight the moving body detected on the screen. The color of
the frame turns red when the detected moving body intrudes the detection area
and triggers an alarm. Also, the locus of the detected moving body is
displayed in green. The locus for about the last 3 seconds is displayed.
The setting of AI-VMD information addition does not affect the operation of
alarms.
- Off: AI-VMD information is not added. Neither detection frames nor loci are displayed.
- On: AI-VMD information is added, but detection frames and loci are not displayed.
- On (with live display): AI-VMD information is added, and detection frames and loci are displayed, but the blue frame is not displayed.
- On (with live display [with blue frame]): AI-VMD information is added, and the detection frame and loci are displayed. In addition to the red frame, the blue frame is displayed.
- Initial setting: On with i-VMD frame display
Additional information type
Set the information type added to the video data and the type of frames
displayed in the live video of the web browser.
This setting is activated when “AI-VMD information addition” is set to “On
with i-VMD frame display”, “On
(with live display [with blue frame])” or “On”.
- With detected object information (alarm frame information): Adds information about detection objects (humans, vehicles, bicycles) and position information about alarm frames (red frame), Video Motion Detection frames (blue frame).
- With detected object information (AI frame information): Adds information about detection objects (humans, vehicles, bicycles) and the position information about AI frames (green frame) which are detected by AI.
- Without detected object information: Adds only the position information about the alarm frame (red frame), Video Motion Detection frames (blue frame). The information about detection objects (humans, vehicles, bicycles) is not added.
- Initial setting: With detected object information (alarm frame information):
- [Set] Click to save the currently displayed contents on the Detailed setting tab.
- [Setting data initialization] Click to reset all the settings of AI-VMD.
Schedule setting
At the default,schedules of both “Detection setting 1” and “Detection setting 2” are active for 24 hours. To perform the detailed settings for schedule, perform the settings on the setup menu of the camera. Refer to Operating Instructions of the camera for details.

Operation
Once you have finished the necessary settings, open the web browser of the camera to display the video and start operation.
Alarm icon
The alarm icon turns on when AI-VMD detects a moving body.
Click [>] to the right of the icon to display the alarm status for each
detection mode.
- ALARM ICON
- CROSS LINE
- INTRUDER
- LOITERING
- DIRECTION
A red frame is added to the icon of the corresponding detection mode when an
alarm occurs. In addition, the details of the alarm are described to the right
of the icon. Click [<] to hide the icon for each detection mode.
Clicking the alarm icon during an alarm resets all alarms.
Note:
- The alarm icon also turns on when an alarm input or a command alarm is received at a terminal alarm.
Detection frame (red frame, blue frame)
When a moving body is detected, a blue frame appears around the body. When the
detected moving body intrudes into the detection area and triggers an alarm, a
red frame appears around the body.
The frame display can be turned On/Off from the “AI-VMD information addition”
setting.
Locus
The locus of the alarm frame (red frame) is displayed in green. The locus for
about the last 3 seconds is displayed.
It is displayed when the alarm frame (red frame) is set to be displayed in the
settings of “AI-VMD Information addition” and “Additional information type”.
Important
- For cameras that support Internet Explorer, even if [Basic] – [Status update mode] in the camera setup menu is set to “Real time”, the alarm notification may be delayed due to the network environment.
- If you change [Image/Audio] – [Image capture mode] or [Basic] – [Image rotation] in the camera setup menu after setting the detection areas of AI-VMD, then the detection areas, mask areas, and the depth may be shifted or initialized. After changing [Image capture mode] or [Image rotation], check the detection area setting, mask area setting, and depth setting again.
- If you change the zoom setting after setting the detection areas of AI-VMD, the detection areas and the mask areas may be shifted. After changing the zoom setting, check the detection area setting, mask area setting, and depth settings again.
