Edge Analytics

136 VideoEdge NVR 4.4 Installation and User Manual

Before the NVR can receive edge based analytic events or metadata, this functionality must be

configured and enabled on the camera or encoder. When edge analytics have been enabled on

the device, you must also enable edge analytics functionality on the NVR. You must set the Video

Analysis to be Edge Based in the NVR Camera Configuration.

Edge based analytics provides useful information only if

recording is enabled on the camera. All

three recording status’ will record either Motion Detection metadata or Face Detection metadata

provided it is enabled. This allows Edge based searching of recorded video for either of these

metadata types.

For Edge based alarms your camera recording status should be set to either Only Record on

Alar

m or Recording Always with Alarm On. For further information on camera recording modes

refer to Procedure 8-11 Setting the Camera Recording Status on page 107.

Edge Analytic events will create entries in the vic

tor site manager database. If required you can

use the Reports feature in victor unified client to retrieve event information.

To ensure you get the highest quality results when using Edge Analytics on the NVR it is

recommended that you adhere to the following:

• Edge based events create entries in the victor site manager database. It is important to ensure

tha

t the edge analytic parameters are accurate to avoid generating false entries.

• Edge based metadata is recorded in the NVR occup

ying storage space. It is important to ensure

that the edge analytic parameters are configured accurately to prevent occupying storage space

unnecessarily.

• Edge based events and metadata are created by the camera’s analytics. Refer to the camera’s

stallation and User manual for configuring analytics to ensure proper operation.

Enabling Edge Based Analytics
