  Filters by recognised faces.
• AI - Lost
  Filters for lost items.
• AI - Parking
  Offers the search for free parking spaces (Parking Lot) and after changing parking spaces (Parking Spot Change).
• AIFacedetect
  To search for results from this app, the search type AIFacedetect must be selected. A further restriction of the search result is not possible here.
• AIRaod3d
  After selecting the AIRaod3d search type, up to 3 additional filter criteria can be selected for the search.
• AIIncident
  After selecting the AIIncident search type, up to 5 different types of incidents can be selected for the search.
• NEW: C71 Camera NurseAssist Events for  "fall situation" like Man Down, In Bed and Out of the Bed!

Management Client extensions for configuring the functions:

The dialogue that can be opened via the MOBOTIX HUB Configuration > Forensic Search Filters entry below the Transact area in the tree structure of the Management Client has been extended so that all additional search filters for the installed MOBOTIX HUB Desk Clients can be (de)activated there.
Note: The above dialogue for (de)activating the additional search functions in the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Clients is only available after the plug-ins have been installed on the Management Client computer.

To do so, the following configuration steps must be performed in the IoT cameras and the MOBOTIX HUB beforehand.

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:

o   URL: <IP-Adresse des MOBOTIX HUB Management Server>:<Port-Nummer>

o   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.

Notes and requirements for using the Desk Client Thermal Dashboard function

The Thermal Dashboard function extension of the HUB Desk Clients, available with the help of the HUB Plug-Ins, enables the visualization of measured temperature curves of MOBOTIX thermal cameras that have been integrated into  the MOBOTIX HUB system via the device-specific MOBOTIX driver (Mobotix M/D/V/S series selection).

Supported camera models with thermal sensor are:

• P3 Thermal Camera models: M15 and S15
• Mx6 Thermal Camera models: M16 and S16
• Mx7 Thermal Camera models: M73 and S74

Important: Cameras with ECO Thermal modules do not support temperature measurement and are therefore not supported.

To display the temperature profiles, the following configuration steps must first be carried out in the thermal cameras and the MOBOTIX HUB.

Configuration in the MOBOTIX Thermal Camera

• Configure the Thermal Measurement Window or Thermal Spot Meter in the camera.
• Activate general Arming of the camera.

Configuration in the MOBOTIX HUB

To use the Thermal Camera in the MOBOTIX HUB and a HUB Desk Client, the Plug-Ins package must be installed on the computer of the MOBOTIX HUB Management Client and on the corresponding computer with the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client. The necessary configuration steps are described in the relevant section of the Plug-Ins_2023-03-21 Release Notes.

Notes and Requirements for Using the MOBOTIX SYNC Dashboard Function

In the Desk Client, MOBOTIX Sync dashboards can now be embedded in the layout, e.g. lists of recognised number plates or graphical evaluations of the registered car models. This requires that the separate application MOBOTIX SYNC is available and that corresponding dashboards have been created in the Grafana module of SYNC.

Necessary configuration steps besides the basic installation of MOBOTIX HUB, MOBOTIX HUB PlugIns and MOBOTIX Sync with Grafana extension are:

• Creating MOBOTIX SYNC Dashboards
• Configuring MOBOTIX SYNC user credentials in the Management Client of the Hub
• Combine camera layout in the MOBOTIX Desk Client with the desired dashboards.

Prerequisite:

• MOBOTIX Sync Version 1.0 or newer
• MOBOTIX HUB Plug-Ins 2023-06-30 or newer
• Activation of Basic Authentication in the MOBOTIX SYNC configuration.

Important: If the MOBOTIX HUB already contains a SYNC configuration, the admin has to explicitly enable the MOBOTIX SYNC tab in the Management Client (checkbox Display tab in Desk Client).

Notes and Requirements for Using MOBOTIX CLOUD cameras

In the Desk Client, cameras from the MOBOTIX CLOUD can now be embedded in the layout.

In addition to the installation of MOBOTIX HUB and MOBOTIX HUB PlugIns, the necessary configuration steps include access to cameras in a sub account of the MOBOTIX CLOUD.

Prerequisite:

• Access to the MOBOTIX CLOUD with a Sub Account user with appropriate access rights to the cameras.

Important: A MOBOTIX CLOUD Reseller Account cannot be used because it does not contain any cameras!

Notes and requirements for using the MOBOTIX NurseAssist Dashboard function

In the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client, a camera layout with the new MOBOTIX NurseAssist element can be added as required in setup mode after installing the plug-in package. After inserting the MOBOTIX NurseAssist element, the "case status" of the linked "C71 NurseAssist" is displayed with a coloured icon tile in the layout. This allows the nursing staff in the "nurses' room" to have an overview of the "case situation" on their floor WITHOUT disturbing their privacy with a permanent live display. The tile view of the status tab can be switched to a live image if required.

The following main features are available to the user:

• Free dashboard embedding in the layout of the Desk Client of the NurseAssist element to graphically display the status of the C71 NurseAssist camera ("fall status") and thereby build a status tablaue of the conditions in the patient rooms
• In the standard view, only the status changes are displayed with coloured tiles to ensure maximum privacy for the patients Curve diagrams.
• If required, e.g. to assess a recognised fall, it is possible to switch the corresponding status tile to live bid mode.
• The nursing staff can also switch the status tile to live mode at the touch of a button during the night shift, for example, to protect the patient's sleep and carry out their rounds with a virtual view of the patient's room. The display of the "case status" is also shown in the live image mode using coloured bars. The mode can be cancelled by pressing a button.
• Free layout design: Combination of camera image and NurseAssist elements for a customised dashboard combination for e.g. live display of the emergency room entrance and the "fall status" status of the patient rooms.
• Patient information
• For each camera/room, notes on the patient and their treatment priorities can be stored in note form in the camera status element. Four categories are provided for this purpose, which can be easily distinguished by colour. Here, for example, the patient's name, medication intake, treatment focus and even the patient's personal preferences can be stored in text form by the nursing staff. This ensures a smooth handover between the nursing staff. This information can be shown or hidden per channel / overall.
• NEW: Patient Check-In Date. 
• Blur Slider
  With a slider element, care staff can make the live image of the room or rooms unrecognisable to strangers (for example the craftsman is in the Nurse room and repair something) in the virtual tour if required and still have an overview of the room. One slider is available per channel or one slider for the entire camera in the display.
• NurseAssist Log Tab
  All Nurse Assist activities, usage and opened alarms are recorded in the logbook. Search filters make it easier to analyse the log entries later. The log entries can be exported in CSV format or password-protected in ZIP format.
• Intercom function
  The care staff can communicate with the person in the room as required via the cameras' audio features. The operation is designed for Push to Talk/Push to Hear to prevent accidental listening in.
• Activity Report:
  A brand new function is the Activity Report, which provides a chronological review of the patient's behaviour. The question of whether a patient had a restful night or hardly got any sleep due to insomnia or frequent "having to" get out of bed, or conclusions about the adjustment of the medication dose to the sleep behaviour can be displayed over a time range using sequence or pie charts.
  Various view modes are available for this purpose, which can be displayed from the last 6 hours to the last 6 months:  
• Timeline (timeline diagram)
• Statistics view (pie chart) by duration can be selected per channel
• Statistics view (pie chart) by frequency can be selected per channel
• The statistics evaluation can provide data from 6 hours to 6 months on the conditions recognised in the room or only on the conditions that apply to the current patient in the room. The patient check-in date is used to display only the conditions that have occurred since the check-in date.
• An export (printout) of the statistical view with the option of adding personal comments.
• A comprehensive export of the data in CSV format (incl. Password protection) for further analyses such as personnel planning or proof of expenditure for billing.
• The capture of the live status in the room is also permanently guaranteed in the statistical display and visualised for the user with a coloured frame.

 

In addition to the basic installation of MOBOTIX HUB, MOBOTIX HUB Plug IN and MOBOTIX C71 NurseAssist, the following configuration steps are required:

• MOBOTIX C71 NurseAssit Kamera:
• Configure the "Fall Detection" types in the Kepler App Settings
• Activate the MOBOTIX HUB Analytic Event in the camera, enter the IP address of the MOBOTIX HUB server. Overwrite the default value "Auto" in the "Camera Name" field with the camera IP.
• Management Client:
• In the NuresAssist Dashboard area in the page navigation, set the NurseAssist function to "enable" so that the NurseAssist buttons are displayed in the Desk Client!
• In Rules and Events under Analytic Events, create the event "Kepler NurseAssist Event" (exact spelling required)
• Open the Options section in the Tools menu bar and activate this in the Analytic Events tab (port 9090 is the default) and define the required retention time in days for alarms and events in the next tab "Alarms and Events".
• Desk Client:
• Create a new layout (view) in Setup Mode and drag and drop the MOBOTIX NurseAssit Dashboard element from the sidebar into the corresponding tile of the layout and select the camera.

Prerequisite:

• MOBOTIX NurseAssist version 1.0 or newer
• MOBOTIX HUB Plug IN 2024-05-31 or newer

Clicking on an entry of the vehicle list or on the displayed graph jumps to the time in the playback in the corresponding camera. This allows the user to verify the recorded SYNC Dashboard data with the recorded video.  In the SYNC Dashboard itself, the user has further options available, such as Inspect License or context menus that can be opened by right-clicking on a list item or on the graphical view. In principle, the same options are available to the user as when directly accessing the MOBOTIX SYNC Dashboards with the browser.

The following main features are available to the user:

• Access to the MOBOTIX SYNC website via the MOBOTIX SYNC tab in the Hub Desk Client.
• Free dashboard embedding in the layout of the HUB Desk Client such as:
• Bar charts e.g. showing the course of the traffic volume
• Curve diagrams showing e.g. the increase of traffic flow
• Pie charts showing e.g. the detected car brands
• MOBOTIX Sync lists of detected number plates
• Double-click to enlarge a dashboard
  Exception: double-click on a list entry in the car list automatically switches to the playback view at the selected time.
• Playback navigation via dashboard, e.g. by clicking on a list entry in the car list.
• Free layout design: combination of camera image and SYNC dashboards
• Multiple MOBOTIX SYNC instances can be linked.

Integrating MOBOTIX CLOUD cameras in the desk client layout

In the MOBOTIX Desk Client, after installing the Plug-Ins package, CLOUD cameras can be added to a camera layout with the new CLOUD element in Setup Mode. After inserting  the MOBOTIX CLOUD  element, the selected camera from the MOBOTIX CLOUD is displayed in the layout. The user can influence the size of the display by clicking on the camera.

MOBOTIX HUB Plug-Ins 2023-03-21

Published: 2023-03-29

<Plug-Ins-Version> = '2023-03-21'

New feature enhancements

Thermal Dashboard Configuration option for Thermal Cameras in the Management Client

After installing this Plug-Ins version on the Management Client computer, a new entry MOBOTIX Thermal Graphs appears in the tree structure of the Management Client below the MOBOTIX CLOUD section. There, you can make general settings for the Thermal Graphs:

•     Temperature unit: Fahrenheit or Celsius
•     Scaling range of the temperature graphs

Thermal Graphs Extension of the layout elements in the MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client

After installing the Plug-Ins package, a camera layout with the new Thermal Graph element can be added to the MOBOTIX Desk Client in Setup Mode. After inserting the Thermal Graph element, the data source for the thermal temperature data is determined by the corresponding thermal camera. The user can freely choose from which Hotspot or Thermal Measuring window the temperature curves should be drawn. Through specific threshold values, a color visualization can inform the user when the temperature threshold value is exceeded or undercut.

In layouts, temperature curves of the Hotspots or Thermal Measurement windows of a MOBOTIX thermal camera can also be combined with the camera stream in a layout. This allows the user to monitor the current temperature condition of his system and he can also analyze the temperature curve in the past. This evaluation helps to identify and avoid risks.

The following main features are available to the user:

• Thermal Spot Area: Visualisation of the image area in which the temperature was detected.
• Dual Image Support: Better assignment on the image sensor by mirroring the marked area of the detected temperature from the thermal sensor (small deviations are possible due to different focal lengths due to the system).
• Display of temperature graphs in Live and Playback mode
• Playback navigation: a double-click on the temperature graph to switch to playback view at the selected time. In the Playback view, the player jumps to the clicked points in time on the temperature graph.
• Definition of several threshold values with visual alarming in case of exceeding and falling below the values
• Export of temperature data in CSV format with camera reference image and plot of the selected curve diagram
• Free layout design: combination of camera and thermal graphs
• Free definition of the temperature lines to be displayed in the thermal graph
• Free display options: legend can be shown, free choice of line color and designation
