AcuraVision Camera Detect Event Guide
As a wide application surveillance system, there are many useful
camera detective features in AcuVision as follows.
PowerBrick CV4.0 computer is installed one DVR card which
has four video inputs and one or two audio inputs., so camera
channels are four either IP cameras or regular cameras. Eg.
three IP cameras and one regular camera settings.
Camera general detect event features
Motion
Missing and left object
Virtual fence
Secure zone
Scene change
Flow counting
On the main screen of AcuraVision, upper right corner have a
list of LED indicator. When motion has been detected on a
camera, it’s “E” will turn Red.
How to use Motion Detection
Motion Detection is the basic detection of AcuraVision, It works like
a motion sensor but with more powerful parameters to control the
precision of detection result.
3. Select C1~4 or IP1~4 button to which camera you want to apply
the motion detection.
e.g. C2 for the 2th camera and it is an Analog camera, IP4 for the 4th
camera and it is an IP camera or Video server.
1. Click the [Setting]
button and select [Preference…]
to open the Preference window.
2. Click the [Camera] tab to bring
up all the camera settings.
4. You can find the Motion
Detection feature in the list
of “Detect Events by:”

5. Check the Motion Detection feature and press [OK] button to take
effect.
7. BTW, you can also press the [Settings…] Button to bring up the
detailed Motion Detection settings, like Adjustment of Sensitivity and
Noise Tolerance, Ignore Smaller or Larger objects and mask out
some area which you don’t want to detect motion.
8. Because Motion Detection is the basic and default detection in
AcuraVision, Its sensitivity is very high. if you want to stop Motion
Detection, suggest Press the “Mask all” button. You
can see the entire Video is masked in green color. Then, press
(OK button) to take effect.
How to use Missing & Left Object Detection
Missing & Left Object Detection is the other way against Motion
Detection. Motion Detection detects movement in a Video, but
Missing & Left Object Detection monitor all the moving object in the
video and only alarm when the moving object stops moving in the
video for a while (Left Object). And it also alarms when still objects
been moved or disappeared from the video for a period of time; e.g.
5 seconds.
You can use Missing & Left Object Detection to guard important
property be stolen or unattended package left in unauthorized area.
1. Let’s start from click the
[Setting] Icon and
select [Preference…] to
open the Preference
page.
2. Click the [Camera] tab to
show all the camera
settings.
6. Or, you can press the [Apply
To…] Button to select which
other cameras you want to
enable Motion Detection.
In this case, de-select 10~12
means Motion Detection will
apply to all camera except
No.10, 11 and 12.

3. Select C1~16 or IP1~16 to which camera you want to apply the
Missing & Left Object detection.
e.g. C4 for the 4th camera and it is an Analog camera, IP6 for the 6th
camera and it is an IP camera or Video server.
5. Check the Missing & Left Object Detection feature and press
[OK] to take effect.
7. The timer to trigger an alarm is shown in the Picture below, and
you can change the time in a range of 5~3600 seconds, which is
described as [Minimum halt duration…]
8. After input the Detection time, please press (OK
button) to take effect.
9. If you want to do some Mask to avoid some area been detected,
please refer to the “How to do Masks in Detection Features”
session in this Guide.
10. If you want to set the Object size range been detected, please
refer to the “How to Ignore Smaller / Larger Object Size in
detection” session in this Guide.
How to use Secure Zone Detection
Secure Zone Detection is the Advanced Object Based version of
Motion Detection. Motion detection use an algorithm to analyze the
changes / difference area in a video, it has some limitation of
precision when multiple objects existed on the video. Secure Zone
Detection improves the precision by doing object analysis first then
decides to trigger event or not. We specify several region of Secure
Zone for detection and trigger alarm only when objects intrude these
Zones and fit our expected conditions.
1. Click the [Setting] Icon
and select [Preference…] to open
the Preference window.
2. Click the [Camera] tab to show
all the camera settings.
4. You can find the Missing
& Left Object Detection
feature in the list of
“Detect Events by…”
6. If you want to
change the time
to alarm when
an object been
detected, you
can press the
[Settings…]
button to bring
up the settings
dialogue page.

unless you disable this feature in camera page.
9. Check this item to show the object which been identified
by detection on the Live Video, No matter you check it or not,
Secure Zone detection still works unless you disable this feature in
camera page.
10. If you want to remove the area you drawed in the video, you can
simply click the middle of the area to select it and press this
button to delete it.
4. You can find the Secure
Zone Detection feature in the
list of “Detect Events by:”

11. If you want to remove all the area in the video, you can press
this button
to remove them all
12. Check this function to enable ignore
smaller object, you can either adjust the value against object’s width
and height counted by pixel, or you can click the hand icon to drag
the size directly on video by mouse.
After mouse operation, press hand icon again to stop selection.
13. Check this function to enable ignore
larger object, it’s the same operation like ignore smaller object.
Please note that if your ignore smaller size is larger than ignore
larger size, you know that it’s not logical and cannot work.
14. This number is the intrusion time to
alarm, usually 1 second is good for most cases, if you switch to 0,
probably it will be too sensitive for general purpose.
15. Sensitivity set to 3 fit most
requirements, drag lower value to avoid too much false alarms or
drag higher value for special scenario.
16. Finally, press OK button to take effect or cancel
button to leave this page discard all the settings change
here.
How to use Flow Counting feature
Flow Counting is designed to count moving object cross user
defined line, 2 lines can be applied on 1 video / camera. Since this
detection should really detect object touch
the line, so, at least 7 FPS video should be used to fit most
situation, otherwise, frame interval might cause object jump over the
counting line and not be counted.
4. After extend this Criteria settings, you can use mouse to drag
detection lines on the video area.
3. On the right hand side
press this button
to extend the Criteria
settings.
1. Like the other detection
settings, you can enable and call
up the Flow Counting setting
pages.

been found on Live video.
9. Finally, click this OK button to finish the settings and
take effect. If you want to discard your settings, you can click this
cancel button to leave without saving settings.
10. As the result of Flow
Counting feature, you
can see the 2 detection
lines with count numbers
on the Live video.
11. You can refer to the “How
to Ignore Smaller/Larger
Objects in detections”
session to build a size filter
for your Flow counting feature.
How to use Virtual Fence Detection
Virtual Fence Detection is the detection to alarm when objects cross
a forbidden line. Maximum 5 lines can be defined in this detection.
3. On the right hand side press this
button to extend the Criteria
settings.
4. It’s very like Flow Counting Criteria
settings, because it also needs to draw
lines for detections.

5. For example we draw 2 lines on the video area for Virtual Fence
detection. Click the line on video to select it and click this
button to toggle detect direction, you can either detect
single direction or both directions. When an object crosses the line
as the direction arrow, it will trigger the alarm. Both direction arrow
means the alarm will be triggered once an object cross the line no
matter in which direction.
6. Click this button to delete the line you selected. Or,
Click this button to delete all detection lines on video.
7. Check this button to show the Flow Count Line and

take effect. If you want to discard your settings, you can click this
cancel button to leave without saving settings.
10. You can refer to the “How to Ignore Smaller/Larger Objects in
detections” session to setup a size filter for your Virtual Fence
feature.
How to Ignore Smaller / Larger Object Size in
detection
Ignore Smaller Object and Ignore Larger Object function exists in
most AcuraVision’s detection settings. Ignore smaller object like
mice, cockroaches or smaller animals if you want to detect and
alarm human or vehicles. Ignore larger object like a hand over
camera lenses or camera shaking situation. Both size filter settings
can improve a better alarm precision when proper value applied.
1. Check this function to enable ignore
smaller object, you can either adjust the value against object’s width
and height counted by pixel, or you can click the hand icon to drag
the size directly on video by mouse. After mouse operation, press
hand icon again to stop selection.
2. Check this function to enable ignore
larger object, it’s the same operation like ignore smaller object.
Please note that if your ignore smaller size is larger than ignore
larger size, you know that it’s not logical and cannot work.
3. Please note that when the hand Icon is pressed, the only thing
you can do is use mouse to drag the size of object on the video, you
cannot do anything else when this button is pressed again.

How to do Masks in Detection Features
There are 2 type of mask can be applied, “Add Mask” or
“Subtract Mask” . “Add Mask” button allow you to block
out some area from detection, but “Subtract Mask” button help you
to recover some area for detection from Mask. Combine both kind of
Mask you can easily do a complicated mask to form a precise
detection area.
There are 3 types of Mask shapes can be used when doing “Add
Mask” and “Subtract Mask”:
Rectangle shape , Circular shape , Free hand
sketching
Let’s try to do Add Mask and Subtract Mask example here.
1. Check the “Add Mask” Mode.
2. Check the Rectangle Shape .
3. Drag a Rectangle shape by Mouse to block out the Flashing
screen from Motion Detection.
4. Check the Circular Shape .
5. Drag a Circular shape on the Video, you can find that the over
lapped area between the circle and rectangle is auto merged
together.
6. Check the Free hand sketching . Drag
the size control bar right will let you draw with a bigger pen tip.
7. Click and hold to draw mask area on the video.
8. You will see my mask as the picture below. Masked area is
marked in green color, which means these areas I don’t want to do
Detection.
Mask feature exist in some detection
e.g. “Motion Detection” and “Missing
& Left Object detection”. You can
either set a full Video detection or
mask out some unwanted area to
prevent false alarms.
Let’s take Motion Detection for
example. When you opened the
Motion Detection settings page, press
the pull down button to extend the
Mask menu, and you are ready to do
a mask on video.

The other way to do Mask: Full Screen mask .
When you need to block out most of the area and only detect
several regions on video, you can use this button to block out the
entire video, and the system will also switch to “Subtract Mask”
mode let you to remove some Mask area for detection.
1. Press the “Mask all” button
You can see the entire Video is masked in green color.
2. Check the Rectangle Shape .
3. Dig a rectangle shape in the mask for your detection.
4. Check the Circular Shape .
5. Dig a circular shape in the mask for detection.
6. Check the Free hand sketching .
