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 enabling analytics in OWS, follow Fence Guard and Loitering Guard 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.

Enable Analytics in OpenEye Web Services (OWS)

To enable Analytics for an individual camera, connect to a recorder, click Setup (gear icon) > General Configuration > Cameras and select the camera you want to configure from the camera list. Click on the Analytics tab and check the box for General 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.
