Region of Interest (ROI) is a feature found in cameras with built-in video analytics or 3rd party software products. You can use the Desktop Client rather than various 3rd party software settings or cameras' web pages to configure special regions on cameras like line crossing, perimeter intrusion, bounding boxes, the minimum and maximum size of detected objects.

This can optimize resources for processing and analyzing video and make analytics setup more intuitive.

Note: At the moment, only Stub Analytics can be configured in the Desktop Client.

ROI in the Desktop Client

ROI configuration can only be accessed if you have an analytics plugin supporting this feature installed (see Plugins and Analytics for details). To access the ROI configuration settings in the Desktop Client, open the context menu on a camera > Camera Settings > Plugins > select the analytics plugin. A preview of the selected camera will be available to draw any necessary lines, polygons, or boxes to represent the ROI. See Analytics Event after configuring ROI for more information about Analytics Event Rules.

Note: Select which camera stream will be used for analytics (primary or secondary stream) in the Camera stream dropdown.
