General information

In Axxon One, you can create and configure detectors and their sub-detectors (child detectors). Sub-detectors process the data received from parent detectors.

To create and configure detectors, you must have permissions to do so (see Users).

Several identical detectors can operate on the same camera stream:

Creating a detector

To create a detector, do the following:

1. Go to the Detectors tab.
2. Below the required camera, click Create…. The list of available categories of detectors will be displayed (see General information about detectors and their sub-detectors).

3. Select a detector.

4. Click the Apply button.

Creation of a detector is complete. The detector is displayed below the selected camera in the object tree.

Creating a sub-detector

To create a sub-detector, do the following:

1. Create the required detector and specify its parameters (see General information about detectors and their sub-detectors).

2. Below the created detector, click Create…. The list of available sub-detectors is displayed.

3. Select a sub-detector. A window in which you can configure a sub-detector opens.

4. Click the Apply button.

Creation of a sub-detector is complete. The sub-detector is displayed below the selected camera and below the detector in the object tree.

Removing a detector/sub-detector

To remove a detector/sub-detector, do the following:

1. Go to the Detectors tab.

2. Below the required camera, select the detector/sub-detector.

3. Click the Remove Image Modified button.
   

   Note
   title Attention!
   If you created sub-detectors for the detector, they also will be removed from the existing configuration.

4. To save the changes, click the Apply Image Modified button. To cancel the changes, click the Cancel Image Modified button.

Removing a detector/sub-detector is complete. The removed detector/sub-detector won’t be displayed below the camera in the object tree. 

Bulk creation of detectors/sub-detectors of the same type for different cameras

To bulk create detectors/sub-detectors of the same type for different cameras, do the following:

1. Create and configure the required detectors/sub-detectors for one camera, or select the existing detector/sub-detectors in the object tree.

2. Click the Image Modified button in the lower right corner.
   

   Info
   title Note
   When you select a sub-detector, in the camera list, only those cameras that have the same parent detector will be available.

3. Set the checkbox next to the required cameras. To quickly select a large number of cameras, press the Shift key, select the first and the last cameras for which you want to create a detector/sub-detector. The checkbox will be set for all selected cameras when you select any of them.

4. Click the Apply button. The number of cameras for which the detector/sub-detector is created is indicated in brackets.

Bulk creation of detectors/sub-detectors of the same type for different cameras is complete. The detectors/sub-detectors of the selected cameras will be displayed in the object tree.

Bulk application of settings for detectors/sub-detectors of the same type

For bulk application of settings for detectors/sub-detectors of the same type, do the following:

1. Change the values of the parameters in the settings of one detector/sub-detector.

2. Click the Image Modified button in the lower right corner.

3. Set the checkbox next to the required cameras with the same type of the detector/sub-detector. To quickly select a large number of cameras with the same type of the detector/sub-detector, press the Shift key, select the first and the last cameras for which you want to change settings of a detector/sub-detector. The checkbox will be set for all selected cameras with the same type of the detector/sub-detector when you select any of them.

6. the ignore area).

7. Click the Apply button. The number of cameras with the same type of detector/sub-detector for which the settings are applied is indicated in brackets.

Bulk application of settings for detectors/sub-detectors of the same type is complete. In the settings of the detectors/sub-detectors, the selected cameras will have the same values of the parameters.

Bulk removal of detectors/sub-detectors

To bulk remove detectors/sub-detectors, do the following:

1. Go to the Detectors tab.

2. Use the Ctrl key to select the detectors/sub-detectors that you want to delete in the object tree.
   

   Note
   title Attention!
   You can select detectors of one level only. For example, if you select Motion detector, you cannot select Line crossing and vice versa. Image Modified

3. Click the Remove Image Modified button.

4. Click the Apply Image Modified button to save the changes. Click the Cancel Image Modified button to cancel the changes.

Bulk removal of detectors/sub-detectors is complete. The removed detectors/sub-detectors won’t be displayed in the object tree.
