Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS) has taken security monitoring to new heights with features like tripwiring, which can detect and alert you to any movement across a predefined line in a video feed. This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up the tripwire IVS feature on your DAHUA NVR, ensuring you can maximize your surveillance system's capabilities.
Prerequisites:
- A DAHUA device that supports the tripwire IVS feature.
Step by Step Instructions:
Step 1: Access AI Menu
- From the Main Menu, navigate to and click on "AI" to enter the AI configuration section.
Step 2: Enter Smart Plan
- Click "Parameters" and then select "Smart Plan" to access the intelligent video settings.
Step 3: Select the Channel
- Use the drop-down box to select the channel for which you want to set up the tripwire.
Step 4: Enable IVS
- Click the IVS icon to enable it for the selected channel. The icon will highlight when activated.
- Click "Apply" to save the changes.
Step 5: Configure IVS Parameters
- Click "Parameters" and then "IVS" to access the IVS settings.
Step 6: Add an IVS Rule
- Select the channel and click "Add" in the lower right side of the screen to create a new IVS rule.
Step 7: Draw the Tripwire
