The system allows the use of analytics embedded in cameras or analytics from third-party analytics providers instead of processing on the system's local analytics server. To use this option you must select the Analytics Configuration Processing Type:
As Analytics Configurations have been discussed previously, to learn how to add an Analytics Configuration, see the Adding an Analytics Configuration topic.
•Process Analytics on External Server: Select this option to use integration with third-party image analysis software (and servers). If this option is selected, the configuration screen below will be displayed:
oType: Select the external server type (Supported Software).
oVersion: Select the supported version of the external server.
oServer Address: Enter the external server address.
oPort: Enter the communication port of the external server.
oUse SSL: Select for secure communication with the server (If it supports it).
oUser: User for authentication on the server.
oPassword: Password for authentication on the server.
oID: String with camera ID or additional server parameters. See the external server integration technical document for more information.
•Use Camera Analytics: If the selected camera has embedded analytics and this is supported by the system, this option will be available. Select this option to use the camera's built-in analytics.
In both options, the analytics configuration will be done externally to the system (Directly on the camera or directly on the external server being integrated) and the system will only receive metadata and events from the device.
Click Analytics Settings to open event binding:
On this screen you will have the list of events configured on the external device. To associate event actions, select the desired event and click Event Actions.
•Event Actions: Desired event actions when this rule is triggered. To learn more about alarm actions see chapter How to configure event actions.
