OnGuard Event Matrix explained

Event Matrix lets operators of the OnGuard workstationshare live and recorded video to XProtect Smart Client workstations. The integration adds events into the XProtect system that the OnGuard users can trigger, these events drive video to Smart Client views populated with the OnGuard Event Matrix plugin and directly to floating windows. These events - once received by the XProtect system - can be used with the XProtect rules system to trigger more actions, such as creating bookmarks, or log entries.

The OnGuard Event Matrix works with camera permissions within XProtect. Smart Client users see events and video from cameras they have permission to view. An operator within OnGuard may be able to send events to the Smart Client, but the XProtect camera permissions prevent both the event notification and video streaming.

Basic requirements for the Event Matrix are as follows:

• OnGuard OpenVideo integration components installed on OnGuard workstations and servers

• Inbound port 9090 opened on all XProtect (Event Server).

• Install the OnGuard Event Matrix plugin on the Smart Client workstations.

• Add the OnGuard Event Matrix plugin to views in the Smart Client application.
