AXIS AOA Integration Instructions
Enable Analytics in OpenEye Web Services (OWS)
To enable Analytics for an individual camera, connect to a recorder, click Setup > Cameras and select the camera you want to configure from the Camera List. Click on the Analytics tab and check the box to Enable Analytics for the supported camera.
When this option is enabled, any supported analytic events received from this camera will be stored and sent to OpenEye Web Services. These events will then be made available in Event Search and macros.
Configure Analytics in the AXIS Camera
The integration requires the use of an AXIS IP camera capable of supporting the AXIS Guard Suite analytics package.
Before continuing with creating a rule in OWS, follow AXIS Object Analytics instructions to configure a compatible AXIS IP Camera. Cameras can be accessed through the IP Address under Setup > General Configuration > Cameras > Camera Information > IP Address.
Once object classification has been configured on the AXIS IP Camera, a rectangle will appear around detected objects in the viewing pane: objects classified as humans get a red rectangle, and objects classified as vehicles get a blue rectangle.
To receive notifications based on an analytic event, an alert rule has to be created and configured in OWS.
