    With the release of Nx Witness 4.1, Nx Desktop users can configure a new component of 3rd party video analytics called Region of Interest (ROI). ROIs on a camera allow you to specify special regions of a video frame.

    ROIs can be used for optimizing resources for processing and analyzing video, and creating perimeters for intrusion detection by drawing lines and allowing the specification of direction. ROIs can be configured differently for each individual camera to respond to various spatial triggers.
