Settings

All items on the Settings tab apply to the whole place; this screen does not set different values per camera.

Settings Items

The Settings tab
Monitoring is at the top, as it is the prerequisite for every other setting.
ItemDescription
MonitoringStarts and stops recording and analysis.
DeviceThe connected device and its model. Clicking it opens the connection screen.
Place nameThe name shown at the top of the screen. Saved as soon as input is complete.
CamerasAdds, edits, and removes cameras.
Accuracy / speedSets the speed and precision of the AI analysis.
Face recognitionOn or off, for every camera in this place.
Registered facesThe list of registered people. Shown only while face recognition is on.
Storage periodSets how long recordings are kept.

Starting and Stopping

Monitoring at the top of Settings starts and stops recording and analysis together. Cameras do not need to be switched off individually to pause monitoring.

Caution While stopped, nothing is recorded and no alerts fire. Monitoring stopped manually does not resume on its own; click Start to resume.

When Saving Settings

  • The device restarts, and detection and recording stop for a few seconds.
  • If unsaved changes exist, You have unsaved changes is displayed.
  • Settings saved while stopped take effect when monitoring starts again.
Caution If Settings were saved, but some changes were not applied is displayed, save again. Until then, the settings shown on screen and the device's actual behavior do not match.

Accuracy and Speed

The defaults are sufficient for most environments. Adjust them only when detection behaves differently from what you expect.

The Accuracy / speed screen
Every setting is selected by meaning. No numeric guesswork is required.
SettingDescriptionGuidance
Detection delay How long a person must stay in view before counting as detected. Alerts and recording start from that point. Only when certain if false alarms occur
Person detection accuracy The precision of the AI analysis. Higher precision is slower. Fast on a Raspberry Pi, Accurate on a PC or Jetson
GPU acceleration Runs analysis on the GPU. Devices without a usable GPU run on the CPU regardless of this setting. Off on integrated or older graphics
Analyses per second The AI's maximum analyses per second. If the camera is slower, the camera's rate applies. Lower it if the device is under load
Person threshold The criterion for judging a target as a person. Does not affect speed. Strict if mannequins or posters are detected
Face threshold The similarity required to match a registered person. Strict if people are confused with each other
Minimum face size Faces captured smaller than this are not recognized. Keep Normal unless faces are always close
Note If cameras are currently configured with different values, the screen shows the first camera's values. Saving from this screen applies the same settings to all cameras.

Storage Period

Select how long recordings are kept: 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, or 180 days. Once the period passes, the photo, the video, and any face data in the recording are deleted automatically.

Note A longer period uses more storage on the device. Usage depends heavily on the number of cameras and how busy the site is, so reviewing actual usage for a few days after installation before settling on a value is recommended.

Places and Account

A place is one device together with its cameras, alerts, and history. When managing multiple sites, click the place name at the top left to switch, create, duplicate, rename, or delete places.

Caution Deleting a place removes its cameras, history, and alerts. It can be restored from Trash within 30 days. A running place cannot be deleted, nor can the last remaining place.

The account menu is at the bottom left on a desktop and under Settings > Account on a phone. It contains Profile, Language, Theme, Help (this guide), Contact Us, and Sign out.
