A zone
Draw the region on the image that the rule applies to. The forklift in the main aisle is normal; the same forklift inside the pedestrian hatch is not.
Alert type 01
Something moved.
You say what counts.
A motion alarm on a warehouse camera fires all night. Pallet wrap breathes in a draught, a fan turns, headlights sweep the wall. livee asks a different question: was it a person, a forklift, a pallet, a vehicle, a package? Mark the classes that should raise a hand and the rest of the night stays quiet.
Object classes
Six answers to “what moved?”
A class is not a guess about intent — it is what the frame contains. You decide which ones matter on which camera.
Person
The class most rules start with. Combined with a zone it becomes after-hours presence; combined with a distance it becomes keep-out.
Forklift and vehicle
Powered traffic where it should not be — a pedestrian aisle, a closed lane, the apron during a pedestrian crossing window.
Pallet and package
Stock where stock should not sit: a fire route, a charging bay, the front of a roller door.
Unknown
Something moved that livee cannot place. Useful on an empty site at 03:00, noisy on a busy floor at noon — which is why it is a choice, not a default.
Narrowing
Three dials that turn a motion alarm into a policy.
An active window
Armed after 18:00, or only during the booked receiving slot. Most false alarms are a real event at the wrong hour of the day.
Sensitivity
Tuned per camera, to that view's light, traffic and clutter. A dim yard camera and a bright pack line do not share a setting.
In practice
What customers actually ask this alert to catch.
- A person in the high-value cage aisle outside picking hours
- A forklift entering a pedestrian hatch while the crossing is in use
- A vehicle on the apron after the yard is closed
- A pallet left standing in a fire route or in front of a roller door
- Any unknown movement in a sterile area on a night shift
- A package moving through a door that should be sealed for the shift
Every one of these can notify four channels at once.

About object motion.
What happens when the class is wrong?
It happens. A pallet truck at a bad angle can read as a forklift, and a reflection can read as motion. That is why a rule is a class plus a zone plus a window: the combination is what keeps a misread from becoming a 03:00 phone call. We tune this together on your camera, with your traffic, before you rely on it.
Can one camera run several motion alerts?
Yes. A dock camera commonly runs a person rule at night, a forklift rule during the crossing window, and a pallet rule on the fire route — three policies, three sets of channels, one stream.
Does it need good light?
It needs the light your camera already delivers. If a human watching that feed could tell a person from a pallet, livee generally can too; if the view is too dark or too far for that, we will say so on the call rather than after the invoice.
