This section introduces configuring the temperature measurement function.
•The target surface should be as vertical to the optical axis as possible. It is recommended that the
angle of oblique image plane should be less than 45°.
•The target image pixels should be more than 5 × 5.
•If multiple presets will be taken for temperature measurement, it is recommended to set the patrol
time above 20 s.
•Select line thermography or area thermography for a certain area temperature measurement. Point
thermography is not recommended in case deviation occurs during device movement that might affect
the temperature measurement accuracy.

Chapter 4 Fire Source Detection
The device will trigger and upload alarms when it detects a fire source or smoking.
Fire source detection includes fire source detection and smoking detection. It is applied for fire-
prevention purposes in scenic regions, foresst, tunnels, etc.
Fire Detection
Configure the fire source detection parameters. If a fire source is detected, the alarm actions will trigger.
Smoking Detection
The device can detect smoking behavior and output an alarm.
Select Recommended Scene
Introduce the recommended scenes of fire source detection and help you select the appropriate scene.
Fire source detection can be applied to indoor and outdoor monitoring with a 15 km maximum detection
radius. To achieve the best monitoring effect, set the installation location as per requirements below.
•The installation location should be the highest position within the detection area. The lens should not
be covered during movement to detect the maximum area.
•It is better to choose an installation location with convenient traffic, well-equipped power, and
Internet facilities (e.g., communication tower, watchtower, high-rise roof, etc.).
Set Fire Detection Parameters
To avoid potential fire damage, configure the fire detection function for certain areas. Detailed
configuration steps are shown below.
Before You Start
Go to Configuration →System →Maintenance →VCA Resource Type, select Temperature
Measurement+Behavior Analysis or Temperature Measurement+Fire Detection.
Steps
1. Go to Configuration →Local.
2. Check Locate Highest Temperature Point to display the position of highest temperature. Check Frame
Fire Point to frame the fire source on live view.
3. Go to Configuration →Event →Smart Event, select Dynamic Fire Source Detection.
4. Check Enable Dynamic Fire Source Detection.
5. Set the fire detection parameters.
Fire Source Detection Mode
•Smoking Mode:Detect smoking behavior in the scene.

UM DS-2TD2137-7P 042021NA 19
•Dynamic Fire: Detect the fire source in the scene.
•Sensitivity:The sensitivity of fire detection. The bigger the value, the more easily the fire source
can be detected, and the false rate is higher.
NOTE: When VCA Resource Type is selected as Temperature Measurement+Behavior
Analysis, only smoking detection is supported. When VCA Resource Type is selected
as Temperature Measurement+Fire Detection, both detection modes are supported.
6. Check Display Fire Source Frame on Stream to display a red frame around the fire source on stream
when fire occurs.
7. Optional: You can shield certain areas from being detected in fire source detection.
1) Go to Configuration →Event →Smart Event →Fire Source Detection Shield.
2) Check Enable Fire Source Detection Shield.
3) Click Draw Area and drag the mouse in the live view to draw the area. Release the mouse to finish
drawing.
4) You can drag the corners of the red rectangle area to change its shape and size, or drag the
rectangle to the position on demand.
5) Click Stop Drawing.
6) Click Clear All to clear all of the setting areas.
7) Set the value of Active Zoom Ratio on demand, and then the shield will appear only when the zoom
ratio is greater than the predefined value
8) Click Add to save the smoke detection shield, and it will be listed in the Fire Source Detection Shield
List area; you can select a region and click Delete to delete it from the list; you can also define the
color of the regions.
9) Check Display Shield Region to show the shielded area in live view.
8. Refer to Set Arming Schedule for setting scheduled time. Refer to Linkage Method Settings for setting
linkage method.
9. Click Save.

Chapter 5 Behavior Analysis
The behavior analysis function detects whether any target breaks the VCA rules. The optical camera will
track the target or the device will alarm when the VCA rule is triggered.
Flow Chart of Behavior Analysis
The process of configuraing the behavior analysis function is decribed below.
