# AllowedDeviation

Specifies how far an object can deviate from the path but still cause an alert.

Specify a value followed by the units that you want to use:

- `percent` or `%` - Percentage of the smallest image or video dimension (width or height).
- `pixels` or `px` - Number of pixels.

If you do not specify any units, Media Server uses the same units as specified by the parameter Path.
