Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for detecting motion and/or objects in images using distance data. An image of an area to be monitored may be used to generate a distance map that maps distances between features in the area and a camera that took the image. Different reactions may be performed based on motion and/or objects detected in images from the camera and determined to be within different distance reaction zones relative to the camera. The different distance reaction zones and reactions may be based on customizable reaction rules. The distance reaction zones and/or reaction rules may be suggested based on similarities between the area to be monitored and other monitored areas.
