Bounding boxes

If you have cameras or integrations that can identify the whereabouts of objects and send metadata to your XProtect VMS, the XProtect VMS can place visual indicators called bounding boxes around the objects in the video.

The bounding boxes help you monitor the whereabouts of important objects for your organization and business.

A bounding box is a rectangular border that encloses an object in a camera image in XProtect Smart Client. The default color of the box is yellow, but your system administrator can have selected a different color.

Example of a bounding box in XProtect Smart Client.

If you can enter setup mode, you can select to show or hide bounding boxes from individual cameras. If you can’t enter setup mode and you can see bounding boxes, your XProtect system administrators have enabled them for you.
