People Counting Single Tripwire
The People Counting Single Tripwire Rule counts the number of
people entering and/or exiting an area based on a tripwire line
drawn across the camera's field of view. A single tripwire allows
for accurate counting of pedestrian traffic entering a given area.
This rule's strength is that it only requires the Analytics engine to
monitor a person crossing one tripwire, reducing possible points
of failure. This rule is ideal for areas where all of the pedestrian
traffic is meant to be counted.
In this example, any traffic travelling through this area is
considered to be entering or exiting the store.

is not checked, this rule will not sync to a central database. This allows for rules
that will be used in centralized reporting to sync to a central location, while rules
that are not needed for centralized reporting can stay local to the VIGIL Server and
not use bandwidth / resources on the central system.
