  3. Set the zone name, i.e. employee's name or the name of the workplace.

After that the parameters where the detector will be activated should be defined for each zone:

  • Object size - the size of the head of the monitored objects.
  • Sensitivity - the level of the detector's sensitivity.
  • Cooldown period -the duration of motion absence in the zone.
Setting procedure

  1. Move the Sensitivity slider right to adjust the detector's sensitivity above average. You'll see false triggerings of detector on the display in the shape of several squares.

  2. Increase or decrease the value in the Object size field, so that a person's head would fit the green square.

  4. To prevent detecting a motionless person as employee's workplace absence, increase the Cooldown period.

You can monitor the zones' status in objects tree in real time; the indicator will change its color in case of the employee's absense at the workplace → :

Tip

You can set up a rule or script triggering on the status change for the immediate detector's status monitoring.
