An overview of the Articial Intelligence (AI) events and settings is as follow,

Event

•AI Events are different occurrences or incidents triggered by the camera.

•Each AI event has individual settings which allow you to tune them for optimal accuracy in

your environment.

•Motion Detection

•Camera Tamper Detection

•Intrusion Detection

•Line Cross Detection

•Loiter Detection

•Object Left/Removed Detection

•Object Classification

Settings

•Camera settings allow you to tune your image quality.

•System settings allow you to manage users or also perform a reset for your camera.

•Event Output allows you to dene what the camera should do when a particular event

H.265 Popular compression for HD video, achieving high quality video in relatively low bit rates.

MJPEG Motion JPEG (M-JPEG or MJPEG) is a video compression format in which each video frame or interlaced eld of

a digital video sequence is compressed separately as a JPEG image.

DHCP Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically

assign an IP address to a computer from a dened range of numbers congured for a given network.

Static IP A static IP address is an address that is manually assigned to your network devices. The IP address remains

constant until manually changed.

PoE, Power over Ethernet provides Local Area Network (LAN) connection and Power to the IP Camera over the Ethernet cable.

2. Introduction to Linear IV400 Management Application

An Internet Protocol camera (IP) camera is a digital video camera that receives data and sends

image data via the LAN or WAN using Internet Protocol. They're used for surveillance and can

be directly accessed over a network connection. This makes them easy to install and connect

to your system, and you can view live camera feeds at any time with any web browser, RTSP

client, or on a smartphone mobile app. IP cameras can handle recording video, images and alarm

management. The camera can record directly to remote storage media such as a Network Video

Recorder (NVR), local SD card or cloud platform.

2.1 Need of the Application

A security camera system is required for effective surveillance of perimeter and internal monitoring,

as well as creating a record for events.

You can stay connected to your daily operations by monitoring with your surveillance system. This

allows you to manage store lines, employee activities, and streamline workflow based on live or

recorded video footage of your business or organization during working hours.

You can monitor, with clear video, large areas such as parking lots of any suspicious activity or

accidents with a powerful video surveillance system.

Video surveillance can help enormously with crowd control as well as prevent crime. It equips

security staff with real-time images from an event. Advance Security Systems can zoom in on

suspicious behavior before it becomes a problem. Law enforcement can also view a video of

public places like parks and common public places via a Security Operations Center (SOC), from

their smartphones or a vehicle laptop.

Video surveillance can help in monitoring traffic, such as counting the cars passing through or

improving the flow of traffic for better travel times. HD cameras can even record fast-moving cars

in challenging lighting conditions.

Video surveillance can help in transport Safety. Cameras can allow the vehicle or train operator to

confirm that people are clear of closing doors and that everyone is safe.

2.2 Features

The Linear®IV400 cameras includes advanced AI features including Motion Detection, Intrusion

Detection, Camera Tamper Detection, Object Classication, Loiter Detection, Line Crossing

Detection, Object Left/Removed Detection and Face Recognition (optional license required).

Feature descriptions are included with the event in the 7.4 Events section of the manual.

1.3 Prerequisites

The prerequisites are as follows:

•Make sure your camera is always connected to a PoE LAN connection.

•Web browser (Firefox/Chrome/Safari/Microsoft Edge).
