Define the areas where the sensors will measure headcounts (eg. different workplaces to be covered by 1 Pointgrab sensor)

→ of course, all of these areas need to be within the Detection Area (check Pointgrab installation guide for info on Detection Area linked to Installation Height)

! Mind that even if the Detection Area might be large enough to cover more than 10 work places, CPMS has a limit to max 10 areas per device, so if you create more in CPMS, the device will appear offline.

1. Click the Add Area button. The Add Area dialog is displayed.
   
2. In the Area Name field, enter an informative name for the area.
   1. PRO TIP: In order to make things a lot easier later on, name the area the exact same as you did in MCS; so that you can automize the linking in Studio later on. 
3. In the Update Frequency field, enter the frequency in seconds at which the sensor will send notifications.
4. For optimal performance, in the Type field, select the type of the area you want to add. 
   
5. In the Center X field, enter the X coordinate in meters of the area’s center.
6. In the Center Y field, enter the Y coordinate in meters of the area’s center.
7. In the Area Width field, enter the area’s horizontal dimension in meters.
8. In the Area Length field, enter the area’s vertical dimension in meters.
9. Optionally, click in the Select Devices field, then select the checkboxes of the devices whose detection areas you want to cover the new area. This can be useful, for example, if you have some knowledge about occlusions in the sensors’ views, and you want to choose the optimal sensor/s for covering your new area.
   
10. Click Save. The area is added and displayed both in the Search pane and as a blue rectangle (assuming it’s a valid area) in the floor plan.
