1. Connect your computer via an ethernet cable (ensure a power of 12V / 1,5 A) to the same network as the Xovis device.

2. Use the Xovis scanning tool, or Download IP scanner (for example “Advanced IP Scanner”) to your computer. Get the Xovis scanning tool through this link Xovis Sensor Explorer: To view the sensors installed within a specific IP range, simply double-click the .exe file, which will open a page and scan the IP addresses. The sensors installed within that range will be listed there.

3. Scan your environment to see which devices are in your vicinity

4. Compare the MAC address from the device box with the list from the scanning tool.

5. Right click - copy paste the IP into your browser (Chrome or Firefox): With the assigned IP address (DHCP), the WebGUI can be accessed

   1. The default username is “Admin”

   2. For the password: contact your Spacewell consultant, or seehttps://spacewell.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/520323190/Xovis+Platform+SW+internal#Initial-Access-to-the-device

6. You will be forwarded to the Xovis Configuration Tool, where you can configure the device

Since they are listed in a different order than how they turn up later in the Configuration tool (which is the order in which they are addressed below), best practice is to cancel the wizard and manually go through the below steps.

1. Region: select applicable region

2. Date&Time: based on filled in region, Date&Time will be filled in. Confirm

3. Network identification:

   1. Make sure to mention the location (building_floor_location name) as part of the name, for easier identification on the HUB later

   2. in chapter IPv4, make sure DHCP and Fallback are enabled

4. Privacy Mode: for 1st configuration, you need level 0

5. Remote Connection: turn on both options

   1. Connect to Xovis support (allowing Xovis support to access this devices in case of issues): enable

   2. Remote connections (connect to Xovis HUB, making it possible to remotely access configuration): enable and provide the Xovis HUB connection information (A token containing the information defined in the HUB). Below screenshots show how to get this information from the hub (or ask Spacewell Hardware Team):

6. User Management: change password is not recommended

7. For the next sub chapters, you can skip these steps (just press "next")

1. Rotation: rotate the image view in a way that is workable for you as an admin

2. Image setup: Anything that obscures the view of the sensor will result in a reduction of the tracking area. This is not a problem, if the requested sector can still be covered. Objects that are directly in front or close to the lenses, can have a negative effect on the tracking quality.

   1. Select buttons in the lower right corner, start drawing and once you're done, double click

   2. Draw Floor Mask: Cover the whole visible floor for best tracking results. Avoid drawing the floor mask over objects such as tables or flower pots.

      1. Make sure not to cover anything that is not a floor (wall)

      2. Only track the floor that you’re interested in tracking

      3. If creating multiple floor masks, make sure they overlap exactly ON each other (not slightly next to each other)

      4. Once the Floor Mask tool is activated, simply click on the scene image to draw the corners and boundaries by clicking and pulling on a drawn line. Finish working on a floor area by double-clicking to create the last corner.

   3. Draw Taboo Mask: Masked areas are ignored for image processing (for example adjacent rooms or walkways). Use carefully! Taboo masks should cover slightly more space than necessary to avoid false positives, for example some physical artifacts may present themselves to be larger than they actually are (e.g. a mirroring wall).

      1. like taping over the sensor eye, so it saves resources and disregards all it sees in that zone

      2. as soon as a person would come into the Taboo zone, the count will be lost

   4. Draw Illumination Mask: Disturbing light sources can optionally be covered with illumination masks. If a spot is extremely bright or dark, it distorts the evaluation of the sensor and the image gets too dark for regular tracking operation. With the Illumination mask, these areas are excluded from the measurement of the exposure. Indicate all the lights, brightly lid (reflecting/sunlight) or darker areas, or distractions from a light source.

      1. changes the contrast of the image

   5. Click save

   6. If you’re doing this after initial setup: Don’t forget to apply Recalibration (Singlesensor Settings > Recalibration) again after saving changes on this page

3. Mounting Height & Tilt

   1. Fill in the height from the floor up to the device (until the cover, if there is one)

   2. Tilt Setup Mode: select “automatic”: the sensor has a level inside and can automatically calculate if it's tilted and how much. If within acceptable range, this will not be an issue

   3. Live tilt measured: click on the button "Overwrite" to save the calibration on the device (you'll get a message if calibration was successful in the bottom right corner)

4. Re-calibration: to apply new calibration to the sensor, click apply next to "new calibration can be applied"

See https://spacewell.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/520323190/Xovis+Platform+SW+internal#Data-Push-Configuration on how to configure a XOVIS device to send its data to the Workplace platform.

Ideally, have the sensor gather data on start/stop points for some time (the longer the better).

1. Select top right button "Scene Configuration"

2. Select "Draw Line" to start drawing a virtual footfall line on the image

   1. if you’re visualizing start/stop points, you want to draw the line in the location where there are the least points visible

3. Enter a meaningful name in the pop-up "New geometry"

   1. The arrow/triangle needs to point towards the direction/location that you want to track; press save or double click to save your changes

   2. Select the line and edit to invert direction if required

   3. Through edit, it's possible to also change the name

Examples of drawing the virtual footfall line when visualizing start/stop points: you want to draw the line in the location where there are the least points visible

4. Click on the line and select "Add logic" to the top right of the screen

5. Select "Person Count Late". No need to fill anything in, just hit "save"

It’s best practice to do an extensive Quality Check in this stage. Make sure to do this before moving to the last step in configuration
