# Count

Counts the number of objects that are present within the scene or a specified region of the scene.

When you specify a region, Media Server counts an object when the center of the object is inside the region boundary.

Configuration Parameter | Description
--- | ---
FreeformRegion | The region of the scene in which to count objects.
Input | The track to process.
OutputInterval | Specifies how often to output a record with the results.
Region | The region of the scene in which to count objects.
RegionUnit | (Deprecated) The units to use to specify the position and size of the region.
Type | The engine to use. Set this parameter to `Count`.

## Output Tracks

This engine produces a single output track, named `TaskName.Output`. Records are added to the track at regular intervals, as specified by the OutputInterval parameter.

Each record describes the number of objects currently in the scene or region (`framecount`), and the total number of objects that have been in the scene or region (`cumulativecount`). The `region` field contains position information for objects currently in the scene or region.
