VCA Filters - Object Filter
The object classification filter provides the ability to filter out objects, which trigger a rule if they are not classified as a certain class (e.g. person, vehicle).
The object classification filter must be combined with another rule(s) to prevent unwanted objects from triggering an alert, an example rule graph is provided to illustrate this below.
The previous image illustrates how the object classification filter configured with Vehicle class, includes only Vehicle objects.
The person in the zone is filtered out since the Person class is not selected in the filter list.
The channel must be calibrated for the object classification filter to be available.
Property | Description | Default Value |
---|---|---|
Name | A user-specified name for this rule | "Object Filter #" |
Can Trigger Actions | Specifies whether events generated by this rule trigger actions | Active |
Input | The input rule | None |
Classes | The object classes allowed to trigger an alert | None |
Typical Logical Rule Combination
The below example logical rule checks if the object triggering the presence rule attached to zone Centre, is also classified as a Vehicle as specified by the Object Filter Vehicle Filter.
Only the Object filter is set to Can Trigger Actions, meaning only this component of the logical rule will be available as a source for actions.
Additionally, any activity generated by the speed filter will have the event type Presence.
