Traversal Dashboard
Displays traversal durations of individuals along a defined set of cameras. This dashboard highlights individuals exceeding expected traversal times and can be used to identify suspicious activity or general slow-downs (i.e. congestion) in real-time or time-frames in the past.
To use this report, you will either define a path when you input parameters or you can use an already defined path. A path is a list of 2 or more cameras. Thus, a path might consist of a set of cameras monitoring a causeway or a set of cameras monitoring all the entrances to a warehouse.
The dashboard requires that either SAFR is set to auto-register people or that viewed people are already registered in the database. Auto-registration is typically done by setting cameras to the Learn and Monitor
video processing mode in the Camera Feed Analyzer window in the Desktop Client. In order for auto-registration to be sucessful, the facial images should be high quality and at least 220 pixels wide. This can be achieved by using high resolution cameras with sufficient zoom to capture faces.
- Directory: User directory from which to run the dashboard.
- Site: Specifies the camera(s) to use. Cameras' site values can be set using the Account Preferences tab within the Desktop Client.
- Ignore Person Types: The Person Types the dashboard should ignore, if any.
- Live for last: Number of previous minutes to include in the dashboard. Every time the dashboard refreshes, the most recent Live for last hours are used to re-generate the Traversal Dashboard. The dashboard's refresh rate is defined by the Refresh Interval parameter below. This parameter is mutually exclusive with Time Range below.
- Time Range: Dates to include in the dashboard. This parameter is mutually exclusive with Live for last above.
- Path: The path that you want to use for this Traversal Dashboard. Note: If you have already defined one or more paths, then you have the option to use one of them by selecting an already defined path from a drop-down menu that this field will offer you.
- Path Sources: All the cameras that make up this traversal route. Note: The order you add cameras to this field doesn't matter.
- Min Sources Traversed: The minimum number of cameras that a person must pass in front of before the traversal dashboard will include them in its data.
- Max Traversal Time: Any individual whose traversal time exceeds this value is assumed to be a false data point and is discarded. It's assumed that the person left the traversal area without completing the path.
- Red Alert Traversal Time: When a person's traversal time exceeds this value, their data is shown in red on the Traversal Dashboard. Set this value to zero if you don't want any data shown in red.
- Yellow Alert Traversal Time: When a person's traversal time exceeds this value, their data is shown in yellow on the Traversal Dashboard. Set this value to zero if you don't want any data shown in yellow. The Red Alert Traversal Time parameter takes precedence over this parameter.
- Sort Order: Specifies the criteria by which the people are sorted. There are three values you can choose from:
- Traversal Duration - Longest first.
- Traversal Start - In order of arrival.
- Traversal Start - Most recent first.
- Refresh Interval: Specifies how frequently the data on the dashboard is refreshed. If "0" is entered, the dashboard won't work. If you want a very quick refresh time, enter a very small non-zero number such as 0.1.
