9. Since we are counting people flow, select "Counting Line" as the counting type for this example.
10. Draw the counting line on the snapshot of the IP camera on the left. Move the cursor over the snapshot, and draw from left to right or right to left; the direction chosen defines entry and exit differently. In this example, drawing from left to right means that people moving from top to bottom across the line are counted as entering, while those moving from bottom to top are counted as exiting.
11. Click "Confirm" to apply the settings.

To draw a queuing zone, click "+ Add Unit" at step 7 above. PeopleCount Edge_Image Source_4.png 8. Enter a name that helps users easily identify this queue unit. 9.

Move the cursor over the snapshot, click the left mouse button once to start drawing the boundary line of the queue area, then click again at the end of the line to begin the next boundary. Repeat until a four-sided shape is completed. 11. Click "Confirm" to apply the settings.
