After installing a MOBOTIX HUB system, by installing MOBOTIX HUB Plug-Ins
on the computers with MOBOTIX HUB Desk Clients, these Desk Clients can be
extended by specific functions for the analysis of MOBOTIX IoT camera
events
The following document contains information on the system requirements,
installation, use and special functions of the individual MOBOTIX HUB
Plug-Ins versions
Overview of HUB Plug-Ins Releases
Important Installation Notes
- The system requirements are described in the
release notes of the MOBOTIX HUB software system, which must be
installed first.
- The use of the HUB Plug-Ins extensions for DeskClients requires a
MOBOTIX HUB variant L4 or L5.
- After installing the MOBOTIX HUB system, the HUB Plug-Ins are
installed on the computers on which a HUB DeskClient is installed
by running the file MOBOTIX_HUB_Plug-Ins_<Plug-Ins-Version>_Installer.exe.
The function enhancements described below are then available in the
DeskClients.
The current value for <Plug-Ins-Version>
is specified specifically for the MOBOTIX HUB Plug-Ins version described
below that is to be installed.
Notes and requirements for use
The
function extensions of the HUB
Desk Clients available using the HUB Plug-In are used to search for
event data
from MOBOTIX IoT cameras that have been integrated into the MOBOTIX HUB
system
via a device-specific MOBOTIX driver (selection Mobotix M/D/V/S series).
For
this purpose, the following configuration steps must first be carried
out in the IoT cameras and the MOBOTIX HUB.
Configuration in the MOBOTIX IoT camera
-
To search for standard
events of IoT
cameras, no special configuration settings for the MOBOTIX HUB in the
cameras
are necessary.
- In
order for the event data of Apps of the
MOBOTIX 7 camera series to be used, the affected Apps must be
configured in the MOBOTIX HUB
Analytic Event area of
the App's configuration dialog (e.g. Vaxtor LPR Settings), by defining the following settings:
- URL: <IP-Adresse
des MOBOTIX HUB Management Server>:<Port-Nummer>
- Camera
Name: <IP address of the camera or camera name as
defined in the HUB>
Configuration in the MOBOTIX HUB
To use the IoT camera events in the MOBOTIX HUB and the HUB Desk Clients,
the following settings must be made in the HUB Management Client,
depending on the event type:
For MOBOTIX 7 App Events
- Activation of the App events as Analytics Events in
the Tools -> Options dialog.
Attention: The same port number must be used as in the
camera configuration in the URL field (see
above)!
- Setting the desired Retention Time (days) for the Analytics
Events in the Alarms and Events tab of the
Tools -> Options dialog
- Add an Analytics event with the appropriate name (e.g. VaxALPR On
Camera Event) in the Area Rules and Events > Analytics
Events in the tree structure of the HUB Management Client.
- Definition of a rule to start a recording
in the Recording Server for the event in question.
Subsequently, the triggering of an Analytics event configured in this way
leads to a recording in the Recording Server and the result data can be
searched in the Desk Client.
For Standard IoT Events
- Setting
the desired Retention time (days) for the Device Events in the Alarms
and Events tab of the Tools -> Options dialog
- For
each individual IoT camera whose standard events are to be processed
in the HUB:
- Selection
of the camera in the tree structure of the Servers
> Recording Servers area
- Add
and enable the relevant events for this camera in the Events tab
- Definition of rules for
starting recording in the Recording Server for the previously defined
events of the IoT cameras
Subsequently, the triggering of the IoT camera events configured in this way
leads to a recording in the Recording Server and the result data can be
searched in the Desk Client.

categories:

- Meta Event
Several event categories and types as well
as event profile names can be selected simultaneously for a search. It
then searches for all events that match one of the specified search
criteria.
- VaxALPR
The search can also be restricted with a part of the license plate to be
entered.
- VaxContainers
The search can also be restricted with a part of the Contaimer ID to be
entered.
- VaxUIC
The search can also be restricted with a part of the UIC identifier to
be entered.
It is also possible to define several search areas at the same time and
determine whether the criteria must then be met at the same time (Match
all criteria setting) or alternatively used (Match any criteria setting).
