To detect special events and activities automatically, you must:
1. Assign analytic(s) to the camera
3. Create a Rule and configure the video engine detection capabilities
Task 1: Assign analytic(s) to the camera
In the Server Configuration dialog box (Devices), you select an analytic engine in the Analytics Engines tab.
Some Video
Engines (VE) can be run concurrently per camera with others (such
as VE150 Motion Tracking and VE352 Left Item Detection) but others
cannot be run concurrently (such as VE130 Simple Motion Detection
with VE150 Advanced Motion Tracking). If the desired video engine is not selectable, clear the check box associated with the current engine in order to select any other. |
Task 2: Configure the analytics
After cameras have been added and analytic engines have been enabled for cameras, the analytics themselves need to be configured. You configure analytics on the Analytics Configuration tab.

Restore Defaults |
Allows you to restore your analytic settings to system defaults. |
Choose Image |
Allows you to select an image from the video clip to define where activity will be detected or alarms will occur in a scene. |
Allows you to modify settings in XML. Import Configuration allows you to load an analytic engine state XML from disk and manually modify the XML. Once you click OK, the XML is applied to the engine. Export Configuration allows you to save the current analytic engine state XML to disk. This XML option allows you to easily share configuration and, if necessary, submit the XML to Aimetis Support if you have trouble with the configuration.

Task 3: Create a Rule and configure the video engine detection capabilities
As a final step, to receive real-time alarms for specific events, rules must be configured. Using the Rule Wizard, you configure the alarm capability of the analytic.
