Detection and on supported models, License Plate Detection. Let's take a look at how these features work. How vehicles are detected can be found within the Settings section of a selected camera. From here, select Detection. There are three settings that you can use for recording vehicles that are entering, leaving, or near your premises. The first setting is part of the 4T Camera Analytics. This keeps track of how many vehicles enter or leave a specified area or go over a crossing line. In this example, we've used the crossing line over the opening of a parking lot. With the crossing line in place, you can now start using the Analytics section to see how many vehicles are coming into or going out of your premises. You can also keep track of your parking lot occupancy throughout the day. The next setting is for License Plate Detection. This feature allows you to define an area to record license plates of vehicles entering or leaving your premises. Using our parking lot example, we've defined a detection area that we'll use to search for a specific license plate within the Motion Detection section of the 4T Camera. Under Vehicle, there are search options for your Date & Time, License Plate, and the Vehicle Type and Color. We're going to enable the License Plate search and view all of the license plates detected within the specified date and time. You can filter these results by entering only the license plate of the vehicle you'd like to find. Simply click on the thumbnail to immediately view the recording of that vehicle. The last setting is Motion Detection. Here, you can create a detection window used to record any vehicles that have moved through the defined area. Detected Motion Activity will alert you within the Notification Center, and if configured, send you an email with details of the detected motion. And that wraps up our quick look at Vehicle and License Plate Detection with 4T Camera Cloud. Thanks for watching!

TL;DR

  • FortiCamera Cloud provides three vehicle detection methods: analytics for counting vehicles crossing defined lines or areas, license plate recognition for identifying specific vehicles, and motion detection for recording movement in designated zones.
  • The analytics feature tracks parking lot occupancy throughout the day by monitoring vehicles entering and leaving through crossing lines positioned at entry points.
  • License plate detection allows searching recorded footage by date, time, plate number, vehicle type, and color, with results displayed as thumbnails linking directly to video recordings.

Summary

This demonstration walks through FortiCamera Cloud's vehicle and license plate detection capabilities for video surveillance. The platform offers three distinct detection methods: analytics-based vehicle counting using crossing lines or defined areas to track parking lot occupancy, license plate recognition for identifying specific vehicles entering or leaving premises, and motion detection for recording any vehicle movement within designated zones. Each feature is configured through the camera's Detection settings, with results accessible through the Analytics and Motion Detection sections. The system provides notification alerts and optional email notifications when motion is detected, making it suitable for organizations managing parking facilities, entry points, or perimeter security where vehicle tracking is essential.
