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 Event Mapping Tool icon in the
Administrator application's toolbar. Alternatively, use Windows' Start menu, selecting All
Programs > Milestone XProtect Analytics > Dacolian LPR > Dacolian LPR 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.
When used with Dacolian LPR, you will see the positive/negative lists
of license plates you have defined and selected for each connection in
the XProtect Analytics Administrator application. You will also see an item called
Unregistered Plates; use this for mapping surveillance system events which should be
triggered if XProtect Analytics detects a vehicle with a license plate which is not on any of
your positive/negative lists (see also page 32).
 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.
Note that Generic events work with
XProtect Enterprise and XProtect Professional surveillance systems only, not with XProtect
Corporate.
