How do you add multiple lines to Line Crossing Detection?

[Palmpilot]

When I click on the 'Line' drop down I only see "1", do you know how to add multiple lines? The help files says up to 4 lines are possible.
Clicking on the 'Draw Area' button again just brings up line #1 again.

Camera is DS-2CD2532F-IS with firmware V5.2.5 build 141201

Thanks!

Firmware 5.2.0 and above only allows for 1 line...

 

[Palmpilot]

@fenderman this is strange since my camera shows V5.2.5 build 141201 which should support multiple lines right?
Any idea?

Thanks!

 

[fenderman]

@Palmpilot, unfortunately no...5.1.6 had the multiple lines then they took it away in 5.2.0 and above..

 

[Palmpilot]

@fenderman oops I misread your 5.2.0 message, now it makes sense Thank you for all the help!

baaaad. I looked for the same as Palmpilot, I need more. :-( Hope Hik's programmers read this.

Hope Hik's programmers read this.

"4 lines" was removed as the DSP/CPU was overburdened with excessive smart events on the older hardware cameras.

Aha :-( thanks. I have couple of 2332 and 2312.

Well, if you are feeling adventurous you could try this : https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/4036-Custom-Firmware-Downgrader-5-3-0-Chinese-to-5-2-5-English
There have been some posts though about it's poorer reliability than the stock firmware.

No I don't want to brick them, I will rely on motion detection, maybe try intrusion detection, but the most important for me will be pir sensor + 2132f-is.

Thanks anyway.
