Set Up Intrusion Detection Events

An intrusion detection event generates a real-time event whenever a person enters or exits an administrator-defined area. Optionally add face areas to prioritize face tracking within those zones; enrolled users are automatically authenticated. Get real-time alerts when unauthorized people enter areas that require monitoring.

When to use this?​

  • Real-time intrusion detection for unauthorized people in areas that require security

  • Get real-time alerts when someone enters outside business hours or an area that requires monitoring

  • Detect when unregistered people enter a monitoring area

  • Record and track access to high-risk areas.

Info

Use this for purposes other than access control, and the camera does not determine whether access is restricted.

Create intrusion detection event​

Creating an intrusion detection event lets the Live menu detect when a person enters a specific area and generate events. Also, setting a face area prioritizes face tracking in that area; enrolled users are automatically identified.

Start event creation​

  1. Click the AI&Rule menu in the upper-left corner of the screen.

  2. Click AI Analysis on the left sidebar.

  3. Click + Add at the top right of the screen.

  4. Click Intrusion in the Select AI Analysis Type window.

  5. When the Notice and Consent for Activation of Vionyx Facial Recognition Function pop-up appears, review the details, select the consent checkbox, and click Agree and Activate Facial Recognition.

    • To use the Facial Authentication feature, comply with local regulations. Cannot proceed without consent.

    • The Notice and Consent for Activation of Vionyx Facial Recognition Function popup appears only once. Subsequent AI event creation assumes consent.

  6. Complete the required settings in the Intrusion panel on the right.

Set event name​

Enter the AI event name in the Name input field. The name can be up to 64 characters long.

Intrusion area settings​

Set the intrusion area. The camera detects entries and exits in the configured area. Set at least one virtual line. Click + Add to add up to 10. An orange box appears in the live view; drag its corners or points with the mouse to adjust it to the desired shape. Drag the center to move the line.

  • Name: Edit the name of the intrusion area. Assign a clear, descriptive name. The intrusion area name appears on mouse-over in the live view.
Info
  • To initialize the shape and size of a configured intrusion area, click reset.

  • To delete an added intrusion area, click delete.

Face area settings (optional)​

Define the area for face detection. When set, the system prioritizes face tracking in that area. Classify people detected in face areas as authenticated users or unauthorized persons to clearly identify authorized entrants and intruders. Face areas and intrusion areas can overlap. Click + Add to add up to 10 face areas. A blue box appears in Live View; drag corners or points to adjust the shape. Drag the center to move the line.

  • Name: Edit the face area's name. Assign a clear, descriptive name. The face area name appears on hover in Live View.
Info
  • Enrolled users are automatically identified in the Live menu and shown by name. Unenrolled users appear as Unknown Face.

  • Click reset to reset the configured face area's shape and size.

  • Click delete to delete an added face area.

  • In camera settings, if you use the Adaptive AE mode option, configure it so that the face area includes the position where a person would actually stand or pass by and their face is clearly visible.

Person detection settings (optional)​

In the Detection section, select the area where the camera detects people. Narrow the detection area as needed to reduce false detections in irrelevant areas (hallway ends, windows, reflective surfaces, etc.).

  • All Area: Default. Detects people across the entire screen. Available regardless of whether face areas are set.

  • Designated Area: Detects people only within the area you specify. Available only when no face area is set. Set at least one virtual line. Click + Add to add up to 10. A purple box appears in the live view; drag its corners or points with the mouse to adjust it to the desired shape. Drag the center to move the line.

    • Name: Edit the name of the person detection area.
  • Face Area Only: Detects people only within the face area. Available only when a face area is set.

Info
  • Adding a face area while Designated Area is selected opens the Notice pop-up. Click OK to clear the designated detection area and switch to Face Area Only.

  • Deleting all face areas while Face Area Only is selected automatically switches to All Area.

  • In camera settings, when you use the Adaptive AE mode option, narrow the range to Designated Area or Face Area Only. Keep screens, photos, or posters with faces out of the detection area.

  • Click reset to initialize the shape and size of the person detection area.

  • Click delete to delete the added person detection area.

  • Firmware version 1.1.0 or later supports this feature.

Set event trigger conditions and event count settings​

In the Option section, set the event trigger conditions and event count.

  • Event Condition: Select the action that triggers an event. Optionally, select both Entry and Exit.

  • Every Delay: Set the minimum duration to treat as an event. An event occurs only when the detection state lasts longer than the set time. It can be set up to a maximum of 60 seconds.

    If too many events occur, increase the Every Delay value. Motion detected for less than the set time is not treated as an event, reducing unnecessary events.

  • Event Count: Set to On to count entries and exits for an intrusion area. The system counts entries and exits separately for each intrusion area.

    The system counts only the options selected under Event Condition. For example, if only Entry is selected, only entries appear as events, and the system records them in logs.

  • All Event Count Reset: Set to On to initialize event counts for all intrusion areas daily at the specified time. The system initializes event counts for all intrusion areas at the time set in Reset Time.

Info
  • If Event Count is set to On, in the Live menu, Count : N is displayed for each intrusion area above the video. Click the More button and select Count Reset to initialize the event count manually.

  • Support for event count options is included in firmware version 1.1.0 or later.

Save settings​

After completing all settings, click Create in the top right. The interface returns to the previous screen, and the new AI event is added to the list.

Check in Live​

Click the Live menu at the top left of the screen. Confirm the AI On icon at the top right of the camera feed is on. Configured intrusion areas and face areas are overlaid on the video. An event occurs whenever a person enters or exits an intrusion area. If face areas are set, the camera detects faces there; enrolled users are automatically identified and their names are displayed.

Info
  • Unenrolled users appear as Unknown Face. Enrolled users appear with their name.

  • Poor lighting or backlight may prevent the camera from detecting faces. Improve area lighting or adjust the camera position and angle so faces are clearly visible.

  • Faces must face the camera to be detected. Profile or rear views may not be detected.
