Controlling Repeat Firing
Two settings prevent excessive alerts. Both are in the camera condition panel.
| Setting | Behavior | Raise it when |
|---|---|---|
| Sustained for | The detection must last this long before the rule fires. Momentary detections are ignored. | Alerts occur for targets that were not actually present. |
| Reset after | After the actions run, the condition must remain unmet for this long before the rule can fire again. | The same situation is reported repeatedly. |
At a busy entrance, lowering Reset after is often the better choice, so that each person is recorded separately rather than merged into one event. Leaving it empty makes it equal to the hold time.
Additional settings for movement conditions
Movement detected and No movement add two settings.
| Movement margin (px) | The center of a detected box must move farther than this value to count as movement. Raise it to ignore small jitter, lower it to detect slow movement. |
| Still duration | The target must remain still for this long to count as stopped. This also prevents a jittery object from re-firing repeatedly. |
