Setting the Gap Between People

For two people walking side by side to be seen as two people, by default the gap between them needs to be greater than 8 pixels. You can change this to suit your situation. Reducing the gap, for example, for crowded situations.

  1. Select the VT module which is monitoring your entrance.
  2. Click the Tune button. The software reads the VT module's settings, which might take a few moments.
  3. In the Settings list, alter the MinSeparation entry to change the minimum gap between two people side-by-side. Where people tend to be close together you could reduce the minimum gap by half.
  4. Click the Apply to VT button or Send Settings to Module.
  5. If you wish to set other VT units to this setting then click button 5, Copy settings to higher address numbers.
