Dit onderdeel is alleen relevant voor BriefCam producten die zijn verbonden met externe VMS-systemen.

[en] Connecting BriefCam to a VMS Server

  1. [en] Make sure the appropriate VMS plug-ins are installed.

  2. [en] Open the Camera Management section (see image below), which lists all connected VMS servers on the left and the servers’ associated cameras on the right.

    Camera_Management_full_screen.png

  3. [en] Click the Add directory button to add a VMS server. The Add Directory dialog opens.

    Add_directory.png

  4. [en] From the Video Integration field, select the appropriate VMS integration option. Different integrations can be added by installing additional VMS-specific plugins.

  5. [en] In the Directory Name field, enter a display name for the user directory. The directories should have different names.

  6. [en] In the Address field, enter the VMS server’s IP/host address. If you are not using the default port (80), add the communication port (the port number may be specified as a suffix to the address, preceded by a colon).

  7. [en] In the User Name and Password fields, enter the VMS server user name and password. This user must have permissions in the VMS to the cameras exposed for BriefCam. Click Add to add the directory.

  8. [en] If you selected Milestone or Genetec, you will also see an RTSP Settings toggle button. These settings can be used to securely define the RTSP credentials for the integration.

  9. [en] To test the connection to the newly added directory, click the zoom (Camera_zoom_icon.png) icon to the right of a directory (VMS server) name and select the Test Connection option.

    Camera_Management_test_connection.png

[en] To edit the directory, click the Edit Directory option. When changing the Address field, the new value must point to the existing directory.

[en] To completely disable all cameras associated with a directory, click the Disable Directory option. In a disabled directory, it is not possible to enable individual cameras. If you disable and then enable a directory, all of the associated cameras are also enabled.

[en] To completely remove a VMS directory (assuming that none of the cameras associated with it are currently activated), click the Delete Directory option.

Opmerking

[en] Make sure to click the Apply button to retain any configuration changes.

Opmerking

[en] When using a multi-site deployment (comprised of multiple site systems and a central Hub), video sources are set up in the Sites’ Administrator Consoles and not in the Hub Administrator Console.

Cameraselectie en activering

Op dit moment kun je afzonderlijke of meerdere camerafeeds selecteren, inschakelen of uitschakelen (onderworpen aan licentievoorwaarden), die vervolgens kunnen worden verwerkt om synopsis voor beelden te genereren.

  1. Als je camera’s wilt activeren, klik je op het zoompictogram (Camera_zoom_icon.png) rechts van de naam van een directory-server (VMS-server) en selecteer je de optie Camera’s toevoegen/bewerken.

    Add_Edit_cameras.png

    Het scherm Camera Activering wordt weergegeven met een lijst van camera’s die aan de geselecteerde VMS-map zijn gekoppeld.

    Opmerking

    Het activeren van de camera is een proces dat onomkeerbaar is. Eenmaal voltooid kan het aantal activeringen niet worden gereset, tenzij een speciaal goedgekeurd verzoek wordt geopend met BriefCam Support.

  2. Schakel het selectievakje in de kolom Geactiveerd voor alle camera’s die je wilt activeren in en klik op de knop Activeren (rechts onderin). Het selectievakje voor camera's die al zijn geactiveerd, wordt grijs weergegeven.

    Camera_Activation_Activate.png

  3. In tegenstelling tot het activeren van een camera, die onomkeerbaar is, kun je afzonderlijke camera's uitschakelen door het selectievakje Ingeschakeld/Uitgeschakeld in de kolom Status in of uit te schakelen. Uitgeschakelde camera's worden niet weergegeven in de BriefCam Web Client. Houd er rekening mee dat u camera’s ook kunt in- en uitschakelen vanaf het scherm Camerabeheer.

    Opmerking

    Wanneer een VMS-server niet beschikbaar is, worden de camera’s niet automatisch geactiveerd op BriefCam wanneer de VMS-server weer beschikbaar wordt. Start de AlertProcessingServices opnieuw om het probleem op te lossen.

[en] Camera Configuration

[en] At the top of the screen, you can see the number of active and remaining camera licenses.

Camera_Management_TOP.png

[en] This screen has the following columns:

[en] Overhead

[en] If the camera is set with an overhead angle or is an overhead fisheye camera and the camera is used with the Line Crossing feature, it is recommended to check the Overhead checkbox. This will improve the object extraction accuracy by running the algorithmic engine in a special processing mode that compensates for the warping that overhead cameras introduce. Note that only people are detected on cameras with the Overhead checkbox checked. Vehicles and animals are not detected. In addition, the only metadata generated for people detected in Overhead mode is colors.

[en] Counting

[en] If the camera is set with an overhead angle and is used for people counting, check the Counting checkbox for the cameras. This will improve the people counting accuracy by running the algorithmic engine in a special processing mode that reduces the amount of false object detections, which makes the counting more reliable. This Counting mode, which is available for the OX5 engine, is not the “people counting” feature. Note that vehicles are not detected on Counting cameras.

[en] Processing Weight

[en] The processing weight is how much of the total GPU Processing Capacity is expected to be consumed by this camera. The GPU’s processing capacity is defined in the GPUs screen.

[en] Note that the weighting system only applies to real-time processing. All on-demand tasks are treated as having a processing weight of 1.

[en] Crowd Counting

[en] Crowd counting is only supported for the Linux-based Next-Gen (OX6) engine.

[en] Select the Crowd Counting checkbox to enable the collection of crowd counting data for groups of more than 50 people, by default. This number is configurable using the HeadCount.CrowdCountingThreshold environment setting. The value you enter in this setting appears in the user interface with one more than the entered value (for example, if you enter 60, 61 will appear in the user interface).

[en] By default, crowd counting data is not collected from the camera.

[en] Note that:

  • [en] Only the Area filter is available with the Crowd Counting filter.

  • [en] Enabling Crowd Counting on a camera will cause existing rules for that camera to stop sending alerts. Therefore, it is recommended to disable or delete all existing rules for the camera before enabling Crowd Counting.

  • [en] Disabling Crowd Counting on a camera will turn existing Crowd Counting rules for that camera into People Counting rules. Therefore, it is recommended to disable or delete all existing rules for the camera before disabling Crowd Counting.

  • [en] Instant REVIEW mode is not supported for Crowd Counting cameras.

[en] Camera Management icons

[en] This screen has the following icons:

[en] Icon

[en] Description

Set_permissions_icon.png

[en] Set permissions for the cameras. See: Cameramachtigingen.

Assign_Tags_icon.png

[en] Assign tags to the camera. See: Een tag toewijzen aan een camera.

Set_coordinates_icon.png

[en] Set coordinates for outdoor cameras for use in the Cameras view and Fast Track. You can hover over the icon to see a tooltip with the coordinates. Geo-location available in Milestone (all supported versions) and Genetec (v5.8 and above) are automatically set here. You can override the Milestone and Genetec coordinates by clicking on the icon and editing the coordinates. Coordinates can also be set in the BriefCam client. Note that Camera's synchroniseren met het VMS will override manually added coordinates.Camera's synchroniseren met het VMS

Camera_info_icon.png

[en] Hover over this to see the activation time and last modified time information.

[en] Filtering Cameras

[en] There are two ways to filter the list of cameras.

  1. [en] Use the directory tree on the left to drill down to the camera you are searching for.

  2. [en] Use the Search field to narrow the list even further. The search will search the camera name, camera ID, and tags.

De naam van een camera wijzigen

Als je de naam van een camera wijzigt, moet je de camera opnieuw definiëren en activeren.

Een camera vervangen

Je kunt als volgt uitgeschakelde of kapotte camera's vervangen:

  1. Verbind de nieuwe camera met het VMS en geef deze dezelfde cameranaam als de beëindigde of kapotte camera.

  2. Klik vanuit de BriefCam Administrator Consoleop Synchroniseren met VMS.

    Camera_Management_sync_to_vms.png

    BriefCam zal de vervangen camera identificeren en activeren.

    Replaced_cameras.png

    BriefCam behoudt alle bestaande instellingen voor de vervangen camera's.

  3. Start de Alert Processing Server- en VSS-serverservices opnieuw op in de BriefCam Administrator Console, zodat regels en bronnen met realtime taken opnieuw kunnen worden verwerkt.
