AI features - Virtual borders (people, vehicles)
The virtual boundary crossing feature in AI-enabled camera systems enables automatic detection of people and vehicles that cross a defined virtual boundary. This feature relies on algorithms that can analyze the image and distinguish between people, vehicles, and other objects such as animals or trees.
Benefits of the virtual boundary crossing feature:
- Enhanced security: The virtual border crossing feature provides early warning of unauthorized entry into a protected area, helping to prevent theft and vandalism.
- Reduced false alarms: Unlike traditional motion detectors, which respond to any movement in the frame, virtual boundary crossing detection eliminates false alarms caused by the movement of animals, tree branches or shadows.
- Increased monitoring efficiency: The virtual boundary crossing feature allows operators to monitor only relevant events, reducing fatigue and increasing monitoring efficiency.
- Automatic activation capability: If a virtual boundary is crossed, the system can automatically trigger other actions, such as triggering an alarm, sending an alert to the operator, or activating a camera.
- Data Collection: The virtual border crossing feature allows the collection of data on the movement of people and vehicles within the protected area, which can be further analyzed and used to optimize operations.
How the virtual border crossing feature works:
- Defining the virtual boundary: The operator defines a virtual boundary, which persons and vehicles must not cross.
- Image analysis: Algorithms analyze the image and search for persons and vehicles crossing the boundary.
- Crossing Detection: If the algorithms detect a person or vehicle crossing the virtual boundary in a given direction, the system activates the defined actions.

Types of virtual border crossings:
- .
- Crossing directions: The system detects when a person or vehicle enters a defined zone in a certain direction or both directions.
.
Virtual boundary crossing is a valuable feature for CCTV systems that increases security, reduces false alarms and allows for more effective monitoring.
Conditions of operation of detection:
The security camera must be positioned at a height of 2-4m. Tilt angle to the horizontal plane less than 30%. Detection distance 10-15m. There must be no other objects between the person or vehicle that would shield it. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in improper operation of the detection functions.
