The system allows the recording and playback of metadata along with camera images.
Metadata is additional information that will be available along with the camera video recording. Analytics metadata, motion detection, and event recording are currently supported.
In the Administration Client it is possible to activate or deactivate metadata recording and select its origin. Just click on "Activate metadata recording" and select the desired option as shown in the image below:
•Record motion detection / events remarks on timeline: If the system is detecting motion in the camera, the motion metadata will be presented in the media playback as a red bar with lighter or darker colors to inform the amount of movement at that moment. If recording events are triggered, a yellow bar will be recorded, informing you that that video session was recorded by event.
Once configured, it will be possible to check the metadata together with the recording of images in the Surveillance Client as shown in the image below:
•Record Analytics Metadata: The system allows the recording of analytics metadata automatically, where the system will record the first analytics configuration that is in operation associated with the camera. This allows recording analytics metadata for PTZ cameras with different analytics configurations in different presets. You can also manually select which analytics should be associated with this camera from the list. Once activated, it will be possible to check the metadata together with the recording of images in the Surveillance Client as shown in the image below:
