1 Traffic Report

Provides in-depth information about recognized and unrecognized people at your site, including:

  • Total number of events.
  • Counts for unknown and known persons.
  • Gender and age profiles.
  • Traffic trends per day.
  • Dwell time: The amount of time a person remains on camera per event.

1.1 Input Parameters

  • Directory: User directory from which to run the report.
  • Site: Specifies the camera(s) to use. Cameras' site values can be set using the Account Preferences tab within the Desktop Client.
  • Time Range: Dates and times to include in the report.
  • Span Sources: Specifies whether or not events triggered in multiple cameras at the same time (plus or minus the shortest gap time) by the same person should be combined into a single event.
  • Shortest Gap: If an identified person is viewed (thus triggering an event), leaves the field of view of the camera, and is then seen by the camera again (thus triggering another event) the two events will be merged into a single event if the time between them is equal to or less than the number of seconds specified by the Shortest Gap field.
  • Shortest Gap (Unidentified): If an unidentified person is viewed (thus triggering an event), leaves the field of view of the camera, and is then seen by the camera again (thus triggering another event) the two events will be merged into a single event if the time between them is equal to or less than the number of seconds specified by the Shortest Gap(Unidentified) field.

1.2 Generated Report

Below are screenshots from a sample Traffic Report:

The Overall Traffic graph exposes the following data:

  • Total number of events: Total number of events generated over the time period covered by the report.
  • Unknown person appearance count: Number of apppearances of registered people who don't have a name assigned to them in the Identity Database.
  • Known person appearance count: The number of apppearances of named registered people.
  • Count of unique known persons: Number of named registered people who were seen. Note that if a person was seen multiple times, they're only counted once for the purpose of this value.
  • Count of unique unknown persons: Number of registered people who don't have a name assigned to them in the Identity Database who were seen. Note that if a person was seen multiple times, they're only counted once for the purpose of this value.

Both the gender and age profiles can have "Unknown" entries if some of your video feeds didn't have gender and/or age detection enabled during the time frame covered by the report. Both gender and age detection can be enabled or disabled on the Recognition Preferences tab in the Desktop Client.

Dwell time is the amount of time a person remains on camera per event.

1.2.1 Report limitations

Traffic Report is not intended for very large deployments. To avoid performance impacts on the database which would in turn impact recognition performance, reports are limited to 75,000 events total. For larger systems, it is recommended to migrate data to an external reporting system. Below are the limitations of the Traffic Dashboard:

  • The trend chart is limited to a maximum of 75,000 events per time interval. If more events are present in the time interval, only the first 75,000 events are displayed in the respective time interval.
  • Persons detected in last X days, will be based only on the first 75,000 events in the time range requested for the dashboard.
  • Gender, Age and Sentiment are reported on the first 75,000 events.
