The To configure the Fire detection and Smoke detection modules are configured similarly and as follows modules, do the following:

1. Go to the settings panel of the
appropriate
2. corresponding module.

4. To receive events about the end of fire/smoke only after the time period from the Alarm duration, sec setting, set the Track alarm end checkbox. By default, the checkbox is cleared, which means that events about the end of fire/smoke are received immediately.
5. In the Alarm duration, sec field, enter the time period in seconds during which the repeated fire/smoke
alarms will be ignoredSet the Track alarm end checkbox, if it is necessary to generate an end-of-alarm event only after the expiration of the time, which is counted as: time of the last received alarm + time specified in the Minimum alarm time, s parameter
6. alarm events are ignored. By default, the setting isn't available for editing. To enable it, you must set the Track alarm end checkbox (see the previous step).

   Info
   title Note

For example, if 5 seconds is set in the Minimum alarm time, sfield, and there is a fire/smoke on the image during a longer period of time, then in order to avoid receiving messages about the fire/smoke from the detection tool every 5 seconds, set a higher value for the Minimum alarm time, s parameter (for example, 10 seconds). In this case, only one message about the fire/smoke will be displayed, and all the following alarms will not be displayed in the Event viewer until the time interval between the recognitions of the fire/smoke becomes longer than 10 seconds.

7. If you set the Track alarm end checkbox, the events about the end of fire/smoke are received after the time specified in the Alarm duration, sec setting. If, until the end of this period, the current fire/smoke is completed and the new one is detected, the detector doesn't generate events about completing the current and starting the new alarm. The new fire/smoke event is received after the current alarm is completed.

of the detection tool—

detection tool will trigger:

26. In the Frames processed per second [0.016, 100] field, set the number of frames per second that
will be processed by
27. the neural network processes. This value affects the processor load: the higher the value, the greater the load. It also affects the operation speed of the algorithm: the higher the frame rate, the faster the required number of frames are collected for making a decision and

    You cannot configure the scanning windows for the Fire detection and Smoke detection modules. The default parameters are used. When you use the scanning mode, we recommend using a full frame without specifying the area of interest in step 11.
