How to Configure Intrusion & Region Entering & Region Exiting & Loitering Detection Function of My VIGI Camera

These four detection functions focus on the interaction between the target and the detection region, and can be configured for human-vehicle enhancement. This article takes VIGI C345 as an example to introduce how to configure the above several detection functions.

Introduction

VIGI IPC supports area-based algorithms such intrusion detection, region entering, region exiting detection, and loitering detection, which are used to realize the monitoring of areas of concern. These four functions also support configuring the region parameters. In addition, the above four functions support the configuration of alarm scheduling and a variety of alarm linkage. Turning on the function switch and drawing the required detection zones can fulfill the basic functional requirements.

Configuration

Web UI

Step 1. Log in to the IPC’s management web interface, and go to Settings > Event > Smart Event > Intrusion Detection / Region Entering Detection / Region Exiting Detection / Loitering Detection. Then enable the button.

Access to detection settings screen.

If the button will be green , which represents the function is enabled.

If the button will be grey , which represents motion detection is disabled.

Step 2. Set Activity Zones and the camera will only detect motion in custom zones. Click on the preview screen to draw. Click to generate vertices, at least four vertices per region, and right click to end the drawing.

Method of drawing the detection zone.

Below the preview window are shortcut buttons for Delete, Clear, Add, and clicking to switch regions.

Four buttons for edit detection area.

Add: Click to add a new region directly, leaving the position and parameters as default.

Button to add a new detection area.

Delete: Deletes an area after selecting it.

Delete in a detection area.

Clear: Delete all areas with one click.

Button to clear all detection area.

Then click the Apply to complete the setup.

If you want to configure the parameters, first select the area where you need to adjust the parameters, and then you can configure each parameter.

Sensitivity, object size filtering, human and vehicle filtering and confidence setting interface of detection function.

Sensitivity

You can modify the value by entering a number or dragging the scroll wheel.

Button to edit sensitivity.

Sensitivity Setting	Description
Low Sensitivity (e.g., 20)	A significant change in the preview image is required to trigger an alarm.
Medium Sensitivity (e.g., 50)	VIGI IPC defaults to a sensitivity of 50, suitable for the vast majority of usage scenarios.
High Sensitivity (e.g., 80)	Only a slight change in the preview image is needed to trigger an alarm.

Object Width/Height filter

You can manually input numbers to modify the relevant parameters. When you enter a number, the preview window will show the size ratio of the currently entered number.

Only targets that meet the restrictions can trigger the related area events, which can help to exclude some of the objects that do not need to be monitored.

Object size filtering setting and reference line display.

Smart Detection

This function is enabled by default. Check the box to detect only the corresponding human and vehicle targets. If this parameter is checked, Smart Detection Confidence will appear at the same time, and you can choose high, medium or low confidence.

The higher the confidence, the higher the degree of similarity of the detected targets to people or cars; on the contrary, the lower the confidence, the lower the degree of similarity required for human figures and car models.

Human-vehicle filtering and the confidence option.

VIGI App

Step 1. Add the IPC to your VIGI App. You can refer to How to set up VIGI Cameras | TP-Link

Screen after adding camera to VIGI App.

Step 2. Tap on your camera and go to the Live View page. Then, tap on More Settings > Detection > Intrusion Detection / Region Entering Detection / Region Exiting Detection / Loitering Detection. Then enable the button.

Steps for APP to access the detection function setting interface.

Position of the key to enable the detection function.

Step 3. Draw the Detection Area. Tag the Set Detection Area to draw the detection zone. Tag Add to add a new region, move four vertices to adjust the position. Then click the Save to complete the setup.

There are Add and Clear below the drawing area, in addition, you can choose Landscape to do full-screen drawing.

Buttons of add, clear and landscape on App.

Step 4. (Option) Tag to Advanced Settings. You can modify Sensitivity and Object Classification.

Additional features (Only for Intrusion Detection and Loitering Detection)

In addition to the above parameters, the intrusion detection also supports the configuration of intrusion time and intrusion percentage. And the loitering detection additionally supports the configuration of loitering time.

Web UI

Intrusion Detection

Percentage

The default setting is 15%, which can be adjusted to any value between 1 and 100.

After configuration, event detection will only be triggered when the target’s entry area meets this percentage threshold.

Intrusion Time

The default setting is 0, which can be adjusted to any value between 1 and 10. After configuration, event detection will only be triggered when the target remains in the designated area for the specified duration.

Screen of Area Intrusion Percentage and Time Settings.

Loitering Detection - Loitering Time

The default setting is 2 seconds, and you can enter a value from 1-30. The target must keep moving within the area for the set duration to trigger detection.

Screen of loitering time.

Aiming Schedule

Left click to slide and draw a time period. Click the period again to enter the start and end time. Then Click Save to modify the length of the time period.

Screen to draw arming schedule.

Note: Only six time periods can be plotted in a day.

After setting up a single day, you can use the schedule copy function to copy the arming times to other days.

Click the Copy button at the end of the timeline and select the date you want to copy to. Then click the Save button to complete the setup.

Screen to copy arming schedule.

The timeline is fully selected by default. You can clear the timeline by Clear All, select the entire timeline with Select All, or return the timeline to its default state with Reset.

Screen to clear all arming schedule.

Screen to reset arming schedule.

Linkage Method

The VIGI IPC offers a wide range of alarm linkages that can be selected on demand.

Screen to select linkage method.

Note: If you need to set the linkage method, the functions of process mode should be enabled.

Linkage methods	Description
Record	The device will start recording when an event is detected. Details can be found in Storage> Recording Schedule
Upload Capture to FTP	The device will upload capture picture or video to FTP server when an event is detected. Details can be found in Network Settings> FTP Settings
