Event Mapping Tool
The Event Mapping Tool is used for making analytics detections trigger surveillance system events.
What happens when the surveillance system is triggered is highly individual as it depends entirely
upon the configuration of your surveillance system. Example: In connection with license plate
recognition, triggered events are often used to subsequently trigger output signals for raising of
parking barriers, etc. However, triggered events can also be used for making cameras record in
high quality or similar. You can even use a triggered event to subsequently trigger combinations of
such actions. For more information about coupling events with actions, see the Administrator’s
Manual for your surveillance system.
You access the Event Mapping Tool by clicking the
icon in the Administrator application’s
toolbar. Alternatively, use Windows’ Start menu, selecting All Programs > Milestone XProtect
Analytics > BOSCH VCA > BOSCH VCA Event Mapping Tool.
Event Mapping Tool’s Structure
The Event Mapping Tool consists of three sections:
 An expandable list of servers, connections to cameras, and
analytics rules/lists. In this area you select the type of analytics
detection you want to map with a surveillance system event.
 A Custom Events section, in which you select the surveillance
system events you want to trigger based on the selected analytics
detection.
 A Generic Events section, in which you have the option of making the selected analytics
detection send data that will
trigger a generic event on XProtect
Professional or XProtect Enterprise
surveillance systems. Generic
events are surveillance system
events based on the analysis of
received data in the TCP and/or
UDP format. Generic events work
with XProtect Enterprise and
XProtect Professional surveillance
systems only, not with XProtect
Corporate.
