Choose the object type

1. Open the camera’s Analytics → EyesOnIt Configuration.
2. Select the region, then Detection Configuration → Object Type.
3. Turn Use Object Type Detection on.
4. Choose person for the campus and lab examples.
5. Set Object Detection Threshold. The illustrated value 50 corresponds to a confidence of 0.5 in the web UI’s example.

Genetec plugin: select person and check the confidence threshold in Object Type. Enlarge image

Set optional size limits

Open Object Size. Check Minimum (px) or Maximum (px) to enable each bound, then enter its value or adjust the range control. The preview shows size guides against the camera image.

Start a new example without size bounds when you need to understand which people are detected. Add bounds after checking nearby and distant positions. For the 1080p library-plaza description example, the web UI uses 100–1080 px; enter those values only for the equivalent source and verify the preview.

Genetec plugin: the size guides help compare the current bounds with people in the image. These illustrated bounds belong to the selected camera. Enlarge image

Read Detection condition → Detection summary, configure the alert rule, and apply the camera configuration. Size and confidence filters continue to affect the region when an additional detection mode is enabled.
