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 · DURATION
What it needs and how it works
Loitering Detection ships as a ready-made rule and is configured for your site. The rule measures how long a person or object stays in a defined area. When the dwell threshold is exceeded an event is produced — used for queues, idle waiting or occupation scenarios. Dwell tracking is anonymous and runs on Edge.

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
Brief disappearance and reappearance (occlusion) can disturb dwell measurement. Tracking tolerance, a minimum-duration threshold and zone definition reduce drift.
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.
