How to Use People Counting on the Synology Surveillance DVA3219 NAS

Before you set up your NVR Surveillance environment for People counting, you will need to spend extra time preparing suitable lighting. Good lighting is crucial. If the surroundings are too dark, footage may blur and cause details to be lost; if there is excessive illumination, images can be overexposed and disturb the clarity.

If possible, please do the following:

Synology Surveillance DVA3219 – How to Configure People Counting Software Settings

Once your cameras are mounted successfully (Guide for that can be found here), software configurations must be set up for DVA to suit your needs fittingly. This chapter covers the crucial settings to achieve high people-counting precision

Step 1 – Where to Begin with People Counting

People Counting works by tracking movements of heads. When a person passes by and the center of their head crosses the detection area, the number on the counter will increase.

Step 2 – Select a Stream Profile

For optimal detection accuracy, select a resolution of at least 1280×720@20FPS.

Step 3 – Where to Define the Detection Line

The detection line should be located on the ground, be in the center of the camera screen, and cover the entire width of the passage. If the line is drawn too short, people might pass through the entrance without crossing over it and be missed. The maximum length is 4 meters long.

Step 4 – How to Edit the On-Screen Head Size

To accurately detect human heads, it is important to define the on-screen head sizes after mounting cameras. Under Parameters, you can click the Edit button and adjust the yellow object frame to define the head size.

Synology Surveillance DVA3219 – How to Improve Detection Accuracy in People Counting

After adjusting software parameter settings, there are still some factors that may affect the accuracy of People Counting. This chapter lists some possible solutions, causes, and provides a setup example.

Step 1 – Be Sure to Select Proper Flooring

The simpler the surroundings are, the more easily People Counting can analyze human features and provide accurate reports. Here are some general guidelines for arranging the flooring:

Step 2 – Note Possible Interferences

Even with thorough planning of the camera mounting environment, it is still possible that human heads are not detected or wrongly identified. Please be advised that the points listed below may cause miscalculation, but be assured that People Counting can still function normally:

Setup Examples

The following are some do and don’ts of installing cameras:

Synology Surveillance DVA3219 – How to Collect Footfall Data in People Counting

With your People Counting tasks set up, you can start collecting and tracking footfall data. This chapter introduces how to work with People Counting.

Step 1 – How to Enable Crowd Detection

Crowd Detection can send event notifications and trigger alerts in Live View when the number of people in given premises exceeds the set number. It is thus suitable for places where footfall must be limited for safety concerns, such as stadiums and malls. Its headcount is highly dynamic: the number is calculated by subtracting the outgoing people from the entering people.

Step 2 – How to Generate Reports

After collecting footfall data, you can go to the Detection Results page to generate a People Counting Report.

The reports list the number of entering and leaving people within a given date and time. With the flexible Display design, you can easily adjust the time unit from hour to seasons. Data of different tasks can also be shown simultaneously to accommodate spaces with multiple entrances. If you wish to save a copy of the report, click Export to download an HTML file.

Step 3 – How to the Reset People Counter

As shown in the figure below, the counter provides simultaneous two-way counting of people moving in and out of passageways. You can set a schedule to reset the counter.
