Luma x20 IPC UI - Config: Event Tile

This tile organizes how your camera reacts to noteworthy situations.

Contents: 

Video Exception

Exceptions are events that the camera deems abnormal.

Detection Config Tab

In this tab, you decide which exceptions the camera should monitor for:

  • Scene Change Detection: Sends an alert if the camera’s view abruptly changes. This can happen if the camera is knocked or blocked.

  • Video Blur Detection: Sends an alert if the image loses focus.

  • Video Tampering Detection: Sends an alert if the camera detects an abnormal feed, or someone trying to interfere with a feed.

Next, configure how your camera reacts to the selected events.

Alarm Holding Time: This allows the alarm to continue after the event that triggers it ends (for example, if someone opens and quickly shuts a door sensor).

Alarm Out: If your camera is equipped with physical alarm out connections, enabling this has the camera send the alarm.

Trigger SD Card Snapshot (if present): Sends a photo of what triggered the alarm to the SD card.

Trigger SD Recording (if present): Records to the SD card for the duration of the alarm.

Trigger Email: This opens a dialog in which you can list email addresses to receive the alert, set that email’s subject line and body text, and decide whether to attach a photo of the incident.

Trigger FTP: Add the server address for your FTP site, and the camera uploads any alert recordings to that site for remote viewing.

Click Save when finished.

Sensitivity Tab

This determines how easily the camera decides whether or not one of these exceptions has occurred. Higher sensitivity means smaller changes create an alert.

Line Crossing

Pro Tip: -_Line crossing is easily configured in the OvrC interface. However, OvrC does not configure differing sensitivities based on target type.

The camera can use AI to determine whether something crosses a line. Line crossing cannot be used if area intrusion (above) is being used.

Detection Config Tab

This configures how your camera reacts to the events.

Enable: This box must be checked to use anything else on the page.

Save Original Picture to SD Card: This saves the full video image of the moment the event is triggered.

Save Original Picture to SD Card: This saves the cropped image of the object that triggered the alarm.

Below that, you can select whether the camera will look for people, motor vehicles (like cars), and/or non-motor vehicles (like bicycles). Each option has its own sensitivity setting.

Alarm Holding Time: This allows the alarm to continue after the event that triggers it ends (for example, if someone opens and quickly shuts a door sensor).

Alarm Out: If your camera is equipped with physical alarm out connections, enabling this has the camera send the alarm.

Trigger SD Card Snapshot (if present): Sends a photo of what triggered the alarm to the SD card.

Trigger SD Recording (if present): Records to the SD card for the duration of the alarm.

Trigger Email: This opens a dialog in which you can list email addresses to receive the alert, set that email’s subject line and body text, and decide whether to attach a photo of the incident.

Trigger FTP: Add the server address for your FTP site, and the camera uploads any alert recordings to that site for remote viewing.

Click Save when finished.

Area Tab

Pro Tip: -_Line crossing is more easily configured in the OvrC interface.

Under Alarm Line, select which of the 4 lines you want to modify. Click Draw Area. Click and drag in the camera view image to create the line. Click and drag one end of a line to edit it.

Note the arrow in the camera image, and the selection in the Direction dropdown. The camera counts line crossings in that direction only. You can change the dropdown selection to reverse the direction.

Click Clear to delete the selected line.

Click Save before exiting.

Schedule Tab

This sets which times the given activity is enabled.

The Week Schedule section is where you determine when the camera sends data to be recorded for normal days. Click the Erase or Add radio buttons, then click and drag your mouse across one of the bands. The exact time spread for that band appears below the band as you click and drag. Alternatively, click Manual Input at the right end of each band to enter specific times.

The Holiday Schedule section lets you set alternate behavior that overrides the normal daily schedule. In the Date text box, enter a month and day in numeric format (i.e., use 02-14 for February 14th). Click + to add that date to the list of holidays shown at right. To remove a holiday, click on it in the textbox to the right and click the - button. All holidays follow the same schedule.

Region Entrance (PTZ only?)

Region Exiting (PTZ only?)

Target Counting by Line

Here you can track how many people, cars, etc., cross your line. This line is different from the lines used in the Line Crossing alarm. Unlike line crossing, you can only have one counting line.

Detection Config Tab

This configures how your camera reacts to the events.

Enable: This box must be checked to use anything else on the page.

Save Original Picture to SD Card: This saves the full video image of the moment the event is triggered.

Save Original Picture to SD Card: This saves the cropped image of the object that triggered the alarm.

Below that, you can select whether the camera will look for people, motor vehicles (like cars), and/or non-motor vehicles (like bicycles). Each option has its own sensitivity setting.

Staying Threshold: Each type of target also has a threshold that needs to be met before triggering an alarm. When this si set to zero, every crossing sets off the alarm. When set to higher numbers, the camera only triggers the alarm if it sees excess traffic.

Counting Reset: In the middle of the alarm section, the Counting Reset section tells the camera when to start its count over. You can choose daily, weekly, monthly, or not at all. Click the Reset button to restart the count manually.

Alarm Holding Time: This allows the alarm to continue after the event that triggers it ends (for example, if someone opens and quickly shuts a door sensor).

Alarm Out: If your camera is equipped with physical alarm out connections, enabling this has the camera send the alarm.

Trigger SD Card Snapshot (if present): Sends a photo of what triggered the alarm to the SD card.

Trigger SD Recording (if present): Records to the SD card for the duration of the alarm.

Trigger Email: This opens a dialog in which you can list email addresses to receive the alert, set that email’s subject line and body text, and decide whether to attach a photo of the incident.

Trigger SD Recording (if present): Records to the SD card for the duration of the alarm.

Trigger Email: This opens a dialog in which you can list email addresses to receive the alert, set that email’s subject line and body text, and decide whether to attach a photo of the incident.

Trigger FTP: Add the server address for your FTP site, and the camera uploads any alert recordings to that site for remote viewing.

Click Save when finished.

Area Tab

Pro Tip: -_Region intrusion is more easily configured in the OvrC interface.

The camera can use AI to determine whether someone enters the marked area. Intrusion cannot be used if line crossing (below) is being used.

Under Alarm Area, select which of the 4 zones you want to modify. Each zone has six corners; click in the camera view image to add each corner one at a time. If you want fewer than six corners, make the corners you want, then click Stop Draw. The camera will complete your shape when you click Save.

You cannot edit a zone; you must instead click Clear and start a new one.

Click Save before exiting.
