Background Update Rate: Range [0-4], if a detected target remains in the monitoring scene for a certain time, the system will count the target as the background automatically. The greater the value is, the faster the target will be counted as the background. Minimum Target Size: Range [0-4], The system will filter out the object smaller than the minimum target size. Displacement Constraint for Target Generation: Range [0-4], the higher the value is, the slower the target is generated, and the higher accuracy the analysis will get. Light Change Suppression: Check the checkbox to suppress the impact caused by the illumination change.

Capture Times: Range [1-10], the times for capturing the person who passes through the detection region. If the person passes very fast, the capture times may be less than the set parameter. Sensitivity: Range [1-5], the sensitivity for face detection. Larger value means higher sensitivity, more faces will be detected and also false detection rate will rise. In general, it is recommended to use the default value. Decrease the value if the false detection rate is high.

Capture Interval: Range [1-255], the interval between two capture actions. Capture Sensitivity: Range [0-20], the threshold for judging whether to do face capture.
