A site is the whole building or address that you want to use HoxtonAi cameras in. You can add as many sites as you need for your organisation.
Setting up a site will be one of the first things you need to do when you get access to your Control Room and the process is very easy.
This short video will explain the process of setting up sites in the Control Room.
Create an account for anyone in your organisation who will need access to the Control Room.
Users can be given access to all your sites or a restricted selection.
Admin accounts have access to all sites in your organisation and all areas of the Control Room.
Member accounts can be specific to just one site.
Once registered, you can view your camera details by choosing the Cameras link in the main navigation.

Monitors are coming soon, to replace spaces. Monitors will make it easier to setup and manage your people counting and occupancy solutions.
Until montors are launched, we recommend you talk to our support team for help setting up your cameras.
For all HoxtonAi solutions it's essential your cameras remain connected to the internet to be able to keep counting your traffic.
We recommend you set up alerts to notify team members whenever cameras go offline or experience periods of poor connectivity. This ensures you can get the back online as quickly as possible and experience the minimum interruption to your traffic data.
Set up alerts for cameras that are offline or have poor connectivity.
Creating camera alerts.
Occupancy alerts will notify you when certain occupancy thresholds are reached.
Give your alert a name, and choose the sites that this will apply to (if you have staff who work across multiple sites, you might find it easier to set up a single rule to cover all of them).
Your alert threshold is the level of capacity that can be reached before an alert is sent. If the capacity is 100 and you set the threshold to 90%, you will get notified when the capacity reaches 90 people.
Set up occupancy alerts to be notified when monitored areas are near or at capacity.
This short video will explain the process of creating an occupany alert.
