Chapter 9   VCA Alarm 
ATTENTION! 
Some of the features described below require special cameras. Not all features work with all 
cameras. Please contact your Hikvision Sales Expert for more information.
The DVR can receive the VCA alarm (line crossing detection, intrusion detection, sudden scene change detection, and 
audio exception detection) sent by analog cameras. The VCA detection must first be enabled and configured in the 
camera settings interface. All other VCA detection features must be supported by the connected IP camera.   
   
DS-72xxHUI-Kx Series DVRs support VCA (line crossing detection 
and intrusion detection) of all channels. Channels with audio support 
audio exception detection. 
DS-7216HQI-Kx Series support 2-ch VCA (line crossing detection 
and intrusion detection). Channels with audio support audio 
exception detection. 
For the analog channels, line crossing detection and intrusion 
detection conflict with other VCA detection such as sudden scene 
change detection, face detection, and vehicle detection. You can 
enable only one function. 
9.1  Face Detection 
The Face Detection function detects faces that appear in the surveillance scene, and specific actions occur 
when the alarm is triggered. 
 1.  Enter the VCA settings interface, Menu > Camera > VCA. 
 2.  Select a camera to configure its VCA. 
 3.  (Optional) Check the Save VCA Picture checkbox to save the pictures captured by VCA detection.
