Areas function as zones and perimeters that the system can be configured to pay particular attention to. You can define one or more areas as a variety of area types, and apply rules to specifically monitor the movement of people or objects within those areas. Detection and Exclusion Areas are actually stored in the radar and used to restrict certain data being sent (as per the area configuration).Exclusion Areas are explored in more detail here.

Type: This indicates the function of the selected Area.
General: Sets the Area as standard, non-specific area.
Detection: This Area is used to filter the detection area of the radar. This area is actually stored in the radar and is used to restrict the data being sent to only include the detection area.
Exclusion: ThisArea is also used to filter the detection area of the radar. This area is actually stored in the radar and is used to restrict the data being sent to exclude the exclusion area.
Alarm: This Area would be placed within a Detection Area, and comes with a set rule attached: any and all tracks detected within an Alarm Area automatically trigger an Alarm response.
Camera: This Area is used to restrict where camera can look, both through manual and automatic control. This ensures cameras only look where they have good line of sight and also ensures they follow any privacy restrictions.
Width (m): The initial width of the Area.
