Method and controller for setting up traffic monitoring for a monitoring location, and system for carrying out traffic monitoring for a monitoring location

The invention relates to a method for setting up traffic monitoring for a monitoring location. The method has a step of outputting a display signal (140) to a user interface (110). The display signal (140) is suitable for effecting the display of at least one image symbol (114, 116), relating to at least one configurable parameter of the traffic monitoring, in a combined overview (112) for the monitoring location by means of the user interface (110). The at least one image symbol (114, 116) can be influenced by gestural interaction with a user in order to configure the at least one configurable parameter. The method also has a step of reading in a user input signal (150) from the user interface (110). The user input signal (150) represents an input by the user, made by gestural interaction with the at least one image symbol (114, 116) and recognised by gesture recognition, to configure the at least one parameter. The method further has a step of configuring the at least one configurable parameter depending on the user input signal (150) in order to set up traffic monitoring.
