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 sin-
gle 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 cross-
ing 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.

Check this box to allow data from this rule to sync to a central database. If this box 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 loca-
tion, while rules that are not needed for centralized reporting can stay local to the VIGIL Server and not use band-
width / resources on the central system.
