Check out the next in our series of intuVision VA "how to?" videos, explaining common analytics tasks performed with intuVision VA. These videos cover an application of intuVision Video Analytics that goes beyond the event list - vehicle tailgating, which combines intuVision vehicle enter detection with access control data to alert if vehicles tailgate.

intuVision VA Capabilities Leveraged

Vehicle tailgate detection uses two unique capabilities of intuVision VA: compound events and the vehicle tracker.

Our compound events let you combine intuVision VA events and third party triggers to create conditional alarm scenarios. Tailgate Detection is a compound event comparing entering vehicles with access control signals to determine tailgating.

intuVision VA vehicle tracker uses distinct features such as head and taillights to detect vehicles regardless of the scene lighting and works even when standard object tracking is not a adequate, such as at nighttime. High accuracy is achieved with our vehicle tracker even at night time, for scenes that provide a clear view of the vehicles coming towards or going away from the camera.

How-To Video

In this video, we first go over how the vehicle tailgating event works in intuVision VA, and then cover the steps needed to accomplish this:

1. Adding the vehicle tracker camera into intuVision VA
2. An overview of basic vehicle tracker settings, including using measuring tools to estimate vehicle size and angle
3. Event selection, configuration, and component events
4. Adding the input trigger, to get information from the access control via an I/O module
5. Putting everything together using a compound event
6. And finally, event review in the Review Application
