HOW IT RUNS ON EDGE
Camera to notification: the rule's pipeline
Footage is processed on the Edge device in your store or site: the model analyses frames in real time, an event is raised when the rule condition is met, and every notification channel fires at once.

TECHNICAL · FLOW_RATE
What it needs and how it works
Flow-Rate Tracking ships as a ready-made rule and is configured for your site. The rule measures passage rate or flow across a defined line or area. Passages per unit time or flow direction become an event per the condition. Measurement is anonymous and runs in real time on the on-site Edge device.

This rule is part of the Algi Edge platform rule set and runs on the IP cameras you already own.
How false alarms are reduced
Sudden direction changes and overlap in dense scenes affect flow measurement. Counting-line position, a direction filter and calibration preserve accuracy.
Alert and action
The rule runs ready-made on Algi Edge; the alert reaches the dashboard, email and API/webhooks at once and can become a task in one click.
