Learning Objectives
After reading this article, you’ll be able to:
Configure the device
Configure the device to its location in the Workplace Platform
This guide focuses on the configuration of the Xovis devices and deployment in the Workplace back-end Studio, after Xovis installation.
For a more detailed understanding of the Xovis Platform, please consult the https://spacewell.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=KB&title=Xovis%E2%84%A2%20Platform%20%28SW%20internal%29&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=291047256 manual.
Note |
---|
XOVIS WiFi devices' initial configuration (of the WiFi credentials) needs to happen while running a LAN/ethernet connection, and while being able to connect to the target WiFi network. This means that, for the time required for the configuration, a LAN network needs to be available in a location where the target WiFi network is also reachable. |
Configure Xovis sensor
Step 1. Access the Xovis Configuration Tool

---|---|---|
| ||
|
The Xovis Configuration Tool provides a Wizard which walks through 8 steps:
Region
Date&Time
Network Identification
Privacy Mode
Mounting height & tilt
Image Setup
Recalibration
Setup Wizard Completed
Info |
---|
You can follow the wizard or cancel the wizard and manually go through the below steps. If you follow the wizard, don’t forget to also define Data Push in Singlesensor Settings after completion of the wizard, see https://spacewell.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/520323190/Xovis+Platform+SW+internal#Data-Push-Configuration |
Step 2. General Settings

Devices listed on Xovis Hub
As soon as the devices are powered up for the first time: based on the hardware shipment list (see https://spacewell.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WM/pages/229015617/Hardware+Logistics#Overview-of-hardware-orders for the latest relevant link), the Spacewell consultant can verify the Xovis' devices MAC addresses are listed in the Xovis hub under “Unmanaged Devices”.
The sensors will only appear once they are plugged in and are able to connect to Xovis Hub. Before this, you are not able to see them in the Device Manager, except if you add them manually in the managed section.
If your devices are listed on Xovis Hub > Unmanaged devices, you can now linked them to your customer and continue the configuration remotely.

If you don’t see your devices listed under Unmanaged Devices and are not able to add the devices manually, reach out to the Hardware team |

For the next sub chapters, you can skip these steps (just press "next")
Step 4. Scene Configuration
After running through the setup wizard, the tool will open on the Home screen, showing the Sensor Overview Live Scene
In View (the eye icon on the top right of the Live Scene visualization), turn on
Tracking Area Layer: this will visualize the concrete Detection Area covered by the sensor. The space around it is visible to the eye of the camera and might be used to “identify people coming and going”, but is not part of the tracking area
Start/stop points Layer, then also enter a start date in the “Start/stop points” tab
Info |
---|
Ideally, have the sensor gather data on start/stop points for some time (the longer the better). |

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 |

Step 5. Quality Assurance
Immediately after Configuration
Go to the Home screen, to check the Sensor Overview Live Scene and confirm your configuration.
Ask someone to cross the line, so that you can see this happening live on the platform
Info |
---|
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 |
In Tools > Stereo Image: the floor should be blue as an indication that the configured height is OK. Other colors indicate that there is something in the way
Expand | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
After some days
Look at Live Scene view > visualizing start/stop points (start date in the past) to verify “where do you lose less people?” You might need to adjust the virtual footfall line
If, in the xovis tool, you see the light flickering (“fog”),
probably the light is running on another frequency than what was set in the Regional settings
you can change the light frequency in Singlesensor > Advanced Option
For more troubleshooting, see Xovis troubleshooting
Next steps
To have data flowing into the Workplace Platform, make sure to deploy the sensors in the Workplace platform, see Xovis deployment.
