Crowd Detection

Senstar Crowd Detection is a video analytic that offers crowd detection, event triggering, and alarms for Symphony.

You can define the area that Crowd Detection monitors for the number of people in the monitored area (capacity) and the percentage of the monitored area with people (occupancy). Crowd Detection can trigger alarms when it detects a specific capacity or occupancy.

The Crowd Detection video analytic can display informational decorations in the camera view panel. In addition to displaying tracking boxes around areas where it detects people, Crowd Detection can display the following decorations:
  • The Occupancy decoration displays the percentage of the scene that contains people.
  • The Capacity decoration displays the number of people in the scene as a percentage of the maximum capacity.
  • The Crowd Est. decoration displays the estimated number of people in the scene.

Crowd Detection can detect people that are 8 pixels or larger in the scene. When placing a camera for use with Crowd Detection, mount the camera so that it has an overview of the area. Do not place the camera directly overhead (90°) because Crowd Detection cannot detect people from directly overhead and do not place the camera close to horizontal (0°) because people in the front obscure the crowd behind.
