Note:

> The sum of the smart analyze may differ from different UVR product Line, but the principle is same;

> we need IPC support corresponding smat analyses function from Qualvision.

          1. Line Crossing

Crossing detection is used to detect the object crossing the set virtual line. The direction can be set as bidirectional, or from side A to B, or from side B to A. If there’s object move from one side to another, it will trigger the alarm and the will respond those actions as configured, such as record, show message, send email, etc.
