1. A method for auto-configuring a region of interest (ROI) associated with a camera, comprising:
receiving a plurality of image frames from a camera installed in an environment, wherein the plurality of image frames depicts a view of the environment and wherein the ROI is located within the view;
tracking a plurality of objects in the plurality of image frames;
determining a plurality of respective trajectories including a respective trajectory of movement for each object of the plurality of objects;
identifying a common trajectory shared by more than one object of the plurality of objects based on comparing each of the plurality of respective trajectories to one another, wherein the common trajectory has a common start point and a common end point, and wherein at least one of the common start point and common end point are outside of the ROI;
updating the ROI to define an updated ROI that is configured to encompass the common trajectory; and
configuring the updated ROI to be associated with new image frames from the camera.
