Choosing Analyses
Choose an analysis to set what to detect on a camera. An analysis is one AI model watching one camera. Select or create it in the camera condition panel.
| Analysis | Provides | Preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Object Detection | Which of 80 everyday objects are in view, and where. | None |
| Face Recognition | Whether the face is a registered person, or unknown. | Enroll faces |
| License Plate Recognition | The plate number and whether it is on the registered list. | Register plates |
| Fire Detection | Whether fire or smoke is visible. | None |
| QR / Barcode | The contents of a code. | None |
| OCR (Text Recognition) | Text read from the frame, in one of 11 languages. | None |
| Custom Classification | Which of your own classes the scene matches. | Train |
| Custom Anomaly | How far the scene deviates from normal. | Train |
- Works right away: all but Custom Classification and Custom Anomaly run as soon as they are added.
- Identifies after enrollment: before enrollment, Face Recognition reports every face as unknown, and License Plate Recognition marks every plate unregistered. Enroll to tell who, or which vehicle.
- Works after training: Custom Classification and Custom Anomaly cannot evaluate anything before training.
Enrollment and training are covered in Training Faces, Plates, and Custom Classes.
Note
Enrolled faces are kept per analysis. Two cameras do not share enrolled faces, so
enroll on each camera. In return, a person enrolled at one entrance is not exposed
elsewhere.
When several rules use the same analysis
Analyses belong to the camera, not to a rule. When several rules share one analysis, the computation runs only once.
