Multi-Device Stitching

Overview

Multi-device stitching is mainly used to monitor a larger detection area than just the area covered by a single device. When using this feature, devices should be installed next to each other and ensure the detection areas are tangent or overlapping.

Note:
  1. Ensure the head of one person can be seen on both live views at the same time.

  2. The devices can also be installed without overlapping.

  3. Device positioning is done via X&Y coordinates. For example, the installation direction of the master device is shown as below, the logo needs to be facing the front. When the master device’s coordinate is (0, 0), the coordinates of the node devices are all positive values.

Before using this feature, set one device as Master Mode and other devices as Node Mode.



  • Master Mode: Receive target tracks and view from the device, responsible for all counts, rule setting, data push and other functions.
  • Node Mode: Only extends the view of the master device.

Node Device Setting

Step 1: If the master device is not a PoE version device, change the WLAN IP Address of node devices to different subnets from master device’s WLAN IP address. If the master device is a PoE version device, skip this step.



Step 2: Select work mode as Node and wait for the device to reboot.

Step 3: select binding method according to the model of the master device and configure the settings as required.

Parameters Description
Bind Master Device Method If the master device is VS135-P-(HIGH), select the method as PoE; if not, select the method as Wi-Fi and connect to the Wi-Fi access point of the master device.
Connection Status Show the connection status between the node device and master device.
Master Device IP Address Show master device’s IP address. When this IP address is under the same network with the node device, the node device can be bind to the master device.
Master Device SN Show the master device’s serial number.
Master Device Name Show master device name.
Unbind Master Device Click Unbind to release the connection status, this device will be deleted from the list of the master device.

Master Device Setting

Step 1: Go to the master device web GUI, then click Bind Node on Multi-Device List.

Manual: You can add a node device by the IP address, HTTP Port, Username or Password.
Note: Please ensure that the device you want to add is on the same local network as the master device and has low latency.
Auto: The device will use multicast protocol to search for the unbound node devices under the same local network.


Step 2: Select the node device and type the login password of the node device.

Step 3: Fill in the installation height of a node device and relative position information if these parameters are already measured. If not, save default settings and skip to Step 4.

Step 4: Select the node device on the Multi-Device List, click Adjust Relative Position.

Drag the live view of node device to adjust the location and angle, and the relative position parameters will change automatically as your operations. Besides, users can also adjust the size of this live view.



Tip: Cut the staff tags or other reflective stripes into pieces and stick them to the ground of overlapping areas, then drag the live view of node devices to make highlight markers in the two live views overlap. This allows equipment splicing configuration without measurement.

Step 5: Click Set & Testing Track, then check if the tracking lines are connected and smooth when people pass on the live views of multiple devices. If not, click Stop Testing to adjust the node device’s live view location slightly.



Step 6: When all settings are completed, users can draw detection lines and even U-turn areas on the new stitching live view the same as standalone mode devices.

Step 7: Click Unbind to disconnect the node device if necessary.
