Choose the analysis rate in Genetec

HOW-TO GUIDEGenetec plugin · Config Tool

Choose enough analysis samples to see the activity clearly, then check the image at the positions that matter.

Genetec plugin: change settings on an existing camera, apply them, inspect the running preview, and stop the test.
  1. Select the camera and open Analytics → EyesOnIt Configuration → Stream.
  2. Set Frame Rate for EyesOnIt analysis. The control offers 1–30 fps.
  3. Apply the camera configuration and check its processing status.
  4. Test the complete event, including people entering, remaining in, and leaving the region.

Use 5 fps as the campus documentation example’s starting point, then qualify your own camera and server load. Brief crossings may need more frequent samples than sustained activity.

The analysis rate is separate from the camera’s encoded frame rate and recording settings. Check the Genetec camera’s video configuration when choosing its encoded stream. Ensure faces, hands, clothing, and boundary crossings remain visible at the distances used by the rule.

Recheck object size filters whenever the source resolution changes. Compare settings using the same representative footage and verify motion admission alongside the analysis rate.
