The VMAX® IP Plus™ can be used to search for specific sections of footage by individual event. When combined with the MEGApix® IVA+™ analytic technology, users are able to search for video by the type of analytic event that occurred. For example, searching footage related to trespassers in a designated area.
This article will outline how to setup the IVA Event feature to better search through the video archive of the VMAX® IP Plus™ for previously recorded video that was captured as a result of triggering an analytic event.
**NOTE: When using a MEGApix® IVA/IVA+™ IP camera, analytic rules must be configured within the camera’s web client through a web browser. If analytic rules are not configured within the camera at the time of a target event, the VMAX® IP Plus™ will not be able to register such occurrences.
When using VMAX® IP Plus™ to search through footage:
**NOTE: The camera must support video analytic functionality for this feature to work.
To narrow the search results of an IVA analytics event, specify the Start Date and End Date of the search.
Selecting an IVA Event type from the Event drop-down list (i.e. Intrusion, Line Crossing, etc.) will further narrow the search results.
Click the Search button to apply the search filters.
You can select an event from the list, then select to either Play, Play All Channels, or view Live Mode to view video related to the triggered event. Alternatively, you may double-click on a listed event from the list to view as well.
