Introduction

This rule checks to see if a track has moved from Area 1 to Area 2. There is no time associated with this check and it relies on the track Id being maintained between the areas. Typically this is a very effective way to check where a track has entered a site. You can specify that if a track has come through an area and moved into a secure area that it was either an unauthorised or authorised route and raise an alarm as required.

PPI Example

In the example below the first area in purple is the Field. The second area is the Orchard. Track 0-1 moves into the Orchard without passing through the Field area, and does not raise an alarm.

However, track 0-2 has gone through the Field area:

So when they enter the Orchard area the alarm is triggered:

Video

The following video demonstrates how to configure a multiple area rule using the Area Movement Rule wizard and adapting it to use two areas. As in the above scenario the first area in purple is the Field. The second area is the Orchard. Track 0-1 moves into the Orchard without passing through the Field area, and does not raise an alarm. However, track 0-2 travels through the Field area before entering the Orchard thus triggering the alarm.
