How do you configure people detection zones in FortiCamera Cloud?

Detection zones are configured in the settings section of a selected camera under the detection menu. Crossing lines can be placed and adjusted by clicking and dragging the endpoints to your desired location, such as at building entrances or specific monitoring areas.

What search attributes are available for identifying people in recorded footage?

The motion detection search allows filtering by multiple attributes including gender, clothing color (upper body), accessories like hats, and facial recognition. You can also search for previously designated persons of interest and track individuals across multiple cameras within a specified timeframe.

face detection. Let's take a look at how these features work. How people and faces are detected can be configured within the settings section of a selected camera. From here, simply select detection. The first setting is part of the 40 camera analytics. This keeps track of how many people enter or leave a specific area or go over a crossing line. In this example, we've used the crossing line at the front entrance of a building. Line placement is easily edited by simply clicking and dragging the end points of a line to your desired location. With the crossing line now in place, you can start using the analytics section to see how many people are coming into or going out of your premises. You can also view the occupancy level of your premises throughout the day. The next setting allows for tracking a person that meets your search attributes. Within the camera section, you can use motion detection to select your attributes and perform the search. Here we've searched for someone wearing a hat that is male and has a main upper clothing color of black. Selecting a thumbnail allows you to easily view the recording of that person. 40 camera can also perform searches based upon face detection and person of interest. This feature is also found within the motion detection section of a selected camera. Here you can perform a simple search within a specified time frame to see all detected faces and the associated recordings. You can also search upon a selected face and filter the results to match a single person. Searching for a person of interest can also be done within this section, allowing you to easily select and view any person of interest that has been recorded on this camera. Now what if you've seen someone that has caught your interest and need to track them across multiple 40 cameras? You can take advantage of these same powerful search tools within the activity search section. By selecting which 40 cameras we'd like to track this person, we can now see their recorded activity on each 40 camera within the specified time period. This can be particularly helpful when trying to view activity from someone that meets selected attributes and where they were recorded throughout the selected time period. And that wraps up our quick look at people and face detection with 40 camera cloud. Thanks for watching.

TL;DR

FortiCamera Cloud provides people counting analytics using configurable crossing lines to track occupancy levels and entry/exit patterns at monitored locations
Advanced search filters enable identification of individuals based on physical attributes including clothing color, gender, and accessories across recorded footage
Face detection and person-of-interest tracking capabilities allow security teams to search for specific individuals and trace their movements across multiple camera feeds within specified timeframes

Summary

This demonstration walks through FortiCamera Cloud's people and face detection capabilities for physical security monitoring. The system provides analytics for tracking occupancy through crossing lines at entry points, allowing administrators to monitor how many people enter or exit specific areas throughout the day. The platform includes advanced search functionality that enables filtering by physical attributes such as clothing color, gender, and accessories like hats. Face detection features allow searches within specified timeframes to identify individuals across multiple camera feeds, with the ability to designate and track persons of interest. The activity search function extends these capabilities across multiple FortiCamera deployments, enabling security teams to trace an individual's movements through different monitored areas during a selected time period. Configuration is handled through an intuitive interface where detection zones and crossing lines can be adjusted by dragging endpoints to desired locations.
