4. Select the protocol on which the surveillance server listens for generic event data, either
TCP or UDP. Again, your selection must match what has been specified for the required
generic event on the surveillance server.
5. Optionally, you are able to send the data defined in step 2 to an additional host.
Sending data about analytics detections to an additional host can be interesting in several
scenarios, depending on your organization’s needs. For example if you want to combine
two or more analytics detections in order to present them as one combined detection to
users in the Smart Client. To combine analytics detections you use the Event Proxy Tool,
accessed by double-clicking the file VideoOS.EventProxy.ProxySetup.exe in the XProtect
Analytics installation folder, which also contains documentation for the Event Proxy Tool. If
using the Event Proxy Tool to combine analytics detections, you would use the Event
Mapping Tool’s Additional host fields to specify the address, port and protocol on which the
Event Proxy Tool listens for input.
Specify the address of the additional host in the Additional output host field, the required
port number in the Additional output port field, and the required protocol in the Additional
output event protocol field.
6. Save your event mapping by clicking the button in the Event Mapping Tool’s toolbar.
Repeat if you want other analytics detections to trigger other generic events or sending of
data to additional hosts.
7. Open the XProtect Analytics Administrator application and restart the server service by
clicking the Restart Server button in the Administrator application’s toolbar .
