What is a Location?

location

A location in AITracker is a directory containing video recordings from a measurement point. It represents a single camera or monitoring spot where traffic data is collected. Each location holds video files that can be analyzed, configured, and processed by the system.

When you load directories into AITracker, the system scans them for video files and displays each folder as a separate location in the location list.

Opening Locations

To load locations into AITracker:

  1. Click the Open Directories button in the application
  2. Select one or more directories containing video recordings
  3. The selected directories will be loaded and displayed in the location list

You can select multiple directories at once to load several measurement points simultaneously.

Location Information

For each location, the system displays the following information:

  • Number of video files
  • Start time / end time
  • Duration
  • Whether the directory contains a configuration
  • Whether the directory contains results
  • Number of relations, areas, and sections
  • The active location is highlighted across the whole row, while the details panel on the left shows the preview and active configuration summary for the selected entry

For the selected location, the system displays: - background image - daily traffic profile image

Combining Multiple Directories into One Location

Some video cameras divide recordings into subdirectories, for example by hour: - 01/01.00.00-01.05.00.mp4 - 02/02.00.00-02.05.00.mp4 - etc.

For such cameras, a 24-hour video measurement will consist of 24 directories, each containing recordings from a given hour. To combine all directories into one logical location, use the Connect configuration with button located above the location table. This allows you to:

  • Merge multiple subdirectories into a single measurement point
  • Send and process them as if they were one continuous recording
  • Maintain a unified configuration across all combined directories

Location Context Menu

Right-clicking (RMB) on a location in the location list opens a context menu with additional options:

  • Open folder – opens the location directory in the system file browser
  • Copy configuration – copies the current location's configuration to clipboard
  • Paste configuration – applies a previously copied configuration to the selected location

This feature is useful when you need to apply the same settings (relations, areas, detection parameters) across multiple measurement points.
