Generate Heat Analysis Report

You can generate a heat analysis report to track consumer movements and analyze the visit times and dwell time in a configured area.

  • Add a heat map network camera to the platform and properly configure the camera with heat map rule for the required area. To add a heat map network camera, please refer to the User Manual of HikCentral Professional Web Client. To configure the heat map rule, please refer to the user manual of heat map network camera.

  • Add the camera to a static map. For details about how to add a camera to the static map, refer to User Manual of HikCentral Professional Web Client.

  1. In the top left corner of the platform, select > Intelligent Analysis > Report > Heat Analysis.
  2. Select the report data resource type.
    Camera

    A heat analysis report based on the data from the camera you select will be generated.

    Analysis Group

    A heat analysis report based on the data from the heat analysis group you select will be generated.

    Note:

    You should have added heat analysis group(s). For details, see Add Heat Analysis Group.

  3. Select a camera or a heat analysis group based on the data resource type you set in the previous step.

    The corresponding report of the selected camera/group is displayed.

  4. Switch the report type (daily, weekly, monthly, annual, and custom) by setting the statistical cycle as Day, Week, Month, Year, or Custom.
    Daily Report

    Daily report shows data on a daily basis. The platform will send one report at the sending time every day, which contains analysis results on the day (24 hours) before the current day.

    Weekly Report, Monthly Report, and Annual Report

    As compared to daily report, weekly report and monthly report can be less time-consuming, since they are not to be submitted every day. The platform will send one report at the sending time every week or every month, which contains analysis results on the last 7 days or last month before the sending date.

  5. Select a pre-defined time period or customize a time period for statistics.
    Note:

    For custom time interval report, you need to set the start time and end time to specify the time period.

  6. Optional: Perform the following operation(s) after generating the heat analysis report.
    Option Description

    Switch Statistical Dimension

    Filter Data

    • You can set the dwell duration to get statistics within the configured range.
