Loitering Detection

Detects people who linger, wait, or pace within a monitored zone for longer than a configured dwell-time threshold. The system tracks each person's time in the zone continuously and raises an escalating alert — a warning at the threshold, an urgent alert if dwelling continues — with an evidence image and video clip per event. Tuned filtering separates genuine loitering from normal queuing or brief pauses, making it suitable for ATMs, entrances, car parks, lobbies, and public spaces where lingering can precede an incident. Runs on-device for 24/7 monitoring.
