Basic Parameters

Basic parameters are direct related for the video analytics.

Object Detection

Detection sensitivity: Select the sensitivity to detect the object. If this option >
is set as relatively high value, even a slight local change in the scene will be
detected as an object and vice versa.

Object Tracking

Strictness: Select the strictness for object tracking. If this option is set as >
relatively low value, system will track objects even though the similarities of
objects between frames are low and vice versa.

35

Advanced Parameters

For more detailed parameter settings, use these options.

Object Detection

Detection sensitivity: Selects the sensitivity to detect the object. If this option >
is set as relatively high value, even a slight local change in the scene will be
detected as an object and vice versa.

36 Operation and settings

Grouping sensitivity: Selects the grouping sensitivity for the degree of ‘object >
grouping’. If this option is set as relatively high value, local changes which are
proximally positioned in the scene will be grouped as one object and vice
versa.

Object Tracking

Strictness: Selects the strictness for object tracking. If this option is set as >
relatively low value, system will track objects even though the similarities of
objects between frames are low and vice versa.

Search range: Selects the search range of ‘tracking’. If this option is set as >
relatively low value, system will search the small range of region to track the
objects in next frame and vice versa.

Count for withdrawal: Selects the time to make decision for object’s withdrawal >
in the scene. If this option is set as relatively low value, system will decide the
withdrawal of objects in small amount of time and vice versa.

Background Modeling

Learning time: Selects the Learning time when the tracking loss occurred. If >
this option is set as relatively low value, the background learning will be car­ried out in a short time interval and vice versa.

Shadow Removal

Activate: Check to activate the shadow removal function. If this option is set, >
the region classified as shadow will be filtered among the final detection
results and vice versa.

Variance of shadow: Selects the maximum variance of the color of the shadow >
region. If this option is set as relatively low value, the region with uniform color
will only be classified as shadow and vice versa.

Blind Update

Activate: Check to activate the blind update function. If this option is set, >
detected objects with little movement progressively will be recognized as the
environment after certain amount of time (blind update). If this parameter is
not set, detected objects will never be recognized as the environment (selec­tive update).

Speed: Selects the blind update speed. If this option is set as relatively high >
value, objects with little movement will be recognized as the background fast
and vice versa.

Camera Tampering

Sensitivity: Selects the sensitivity of ‘camera tampering’. If this option is set as >
relatively low value, the system will dully detect the movement, the veiling of
cameras and vice versa.

Contour

Activate: Check to activate the contour function. If this option is set, contour >
processing is on at DSP and detected objects with contour will be display. If
this option is not set, contour processing is off at DSP and detected objects
with contour will never display.

Problem

UI is not drag & drop

If the client PC’s are unable to access the multicast stream, •
check with the system administrator for the use of a valid
multicast address or check if the router is supporting multi­casting.

If the images appear to have white of gray stripes on it, •
upgrade the Video graphics driver on the client PC to the lat­est version.

If two different video streams were mixed in one channel, •
check they have same multicast address.

Reduce the CPU usage and device connection number.
Disconnect the device or reduce the frame rate.

Device Search_
Add/Edit/Remove

There is no Search device.

1. Check the Device Status.

ex) network connection , booting operation of device and
power connection of device.

cf) network condition : Client(SmartStation installed PC)
network and device network are the same local area.

2. Check the Client Status.

ex) check the network connection or check that a firewall
is not blocking a “Bonjour”.

If firewall refused “Bonjour” or “UDP Packet” , please set to the
accept “Bonjour” and “UDP Packet”.

3. Not supported “port forwarding”.

ex) Unique value of device is only IP Address in
SmartStation Device Search. So SmartStation is not sup­prted “Port forwarding”.

Too long Device Search time

Check the CPU Usage. If CPU usage is over 90%, all of opera­tion of SmartStation couldn’t normal performance.

Can’t manual registration of device .(not search registration)

Manual registration is possible only connectable device.
Check the device information for register condition. Ex) IP
Address, User ID , Password.

There are same IP address in searched results.

It is IP Conflict. If the LG network device is set with a static
IP address and if the DHCP option is set then there may be
ip’s same as the network device and other network partner.
Hence set the static ip address to 0.0.0.0 to resolve this con­flict.

2) Check that a firewall is not blocking a port number 81.
“81 port” is used WSDL communication for network setup.
Please set to the accept “81 Port”.

Can’t IP setting by ARP_PING of device.

1) For IP setting by ARP_PING, client IP address and device

10.164.47.xxx . That is ARP_PING SPEC.

2) Check the device setting of Enable ARP Ping in
SmartStation_RemoteSetup. If this setting is not checked ,
ARP Ping is disabled.
