Setting A Detection Area
The easiest way to set a new detection area is to first remove any current detection areas using the Clear All button. You can click and drag using the left mouse button to select the new detection area.
Once you release the left mouse button your selected area will be converted to a detection area grid. You can draw multiple grids around the camera's image in required.
Removing A Detection Area
To remove all detection areas just use the Clear All button. However, you can also remove parts of detection areas by left clicking and dragging over the section of a detection area grid you want to remove.
