Time in Queue, Directional Exit Rule
The Time in Queue, Directional Exit Rule tracks how long a customer spends within a defined region in the cameras field of view as
long as they exit the region in a specific direction. The time will be tracked from the moment the customer enters the region until
they exit the region if they cross a defined Tripwire when exiting. This works well for application such as tracking how long a cus-
tomer spends in line before getting to a cashier.
In this example shot, only customers that exit the defined region
and cross the tripwire in front of the cashiers at the bottom of the
image will be counted. This eliminates false information being
generated by people passing through the region but not waiting in
line.
