In this video, I setup line crossing detection using our Viewtron 4K auto-tracking PTZ camera. The AI software built into these PTZ cameras supports human detection and car detection for both line crossing and intrusion detection type events.

AI Software Line Crossing Detection Event

line crossing detection

On the Viewtron IP camera NVR, I configured a line at the entrance of the parking lot at CCTV Camera Pros office. Line crossing detection can be configured to trigger an alarm when a human and / or vehicle crosses the line in one direction B->A, the other direction A->B, or both directions A<->B. In this case, I only wanted to detect humans when they are entering our parking lot, so when a person crosses the line going from area B to area A.


AI Software Intrusion Detection Event

AI intrusion detection

In my last video, I tested car detection using an intrusion zone, instead of line crossing. Intrusion detection triggers an alarm when a human and / or vehicle object penetrates the intrusion zone at any location. The line crossing event gave me the control that I needed to only trigger the auto-tracking PTZ when a person crossed the line entering our parking lot. Below is the video demo of the car detection and auto-tracking via intrusion detection.


AI Car Detection and Tracking

Here is the previous video that I made to demonstrate car detection and auto-tracking that is triggered via intrusion detection. I used the same VIewtron 4K PTZ camera for this video.

4K PTZ Camera with AI Software

The Viewtron IP-PTZ-832 is a 4K auto-tracking PTZ camera with power over Ethernet, IR night vision, and auto-tracking AI software. In addition to the AI human detection that is demonstrated in the video, this camera can also motor vehicles and non motor-vehicle objects such as bicycles. This IP camera is NDAA compliant which means that it is approved for US government purchase and installation at government facilities.

This is the Viewtron NVR that the PTZ camera is connected to in the above video demos. In addition to the auto-tracking capability, the pan tilt zoom can also be controlled manually via the USB mouse that is connected to the NVR.

The main differences between the different PTZ models is the resolution and the zoom lens. Most of our existing video demos were recorded using the 4mp / 25x zoom model.
