Event Mapping Tool

Mapping Detections with Custom Events

Use this method to trigger event buttons if connected to XProtect Professional or XProtect
Enterprise systems, or to trigger user-defined events if connected to XProtect Corporate systems.

1. In the expandable list in the left side of the Event Mapping Tool, select the required

analytics detection.

Depending on your type of analytics, the required analytics
detection may be a rule (such as the detection of a person
crossing a line, an illegally parked vehicle, a left object, etc.)
or a list (used in, for example, license plate recognition
where particular license plates may be on positive or
negative lists).

In the example, from license plate recognition, we have
selected a list of VIP vehicle license plates.

2. In the Custom Events section's Available events list, select the surveillance system event

you want the analytics detection to trigger, then click the > button to move the selected
event to the Mapped events list.

In the following example, we have selected an event which will trigger that a barrier is
raised. Thanks to output signals associated with the event (configured on the surveillance
server), this will allow vehicles whose license plates are on the VIP vehicles list (which we
selected in step 1) to enter a VIP parking area.


You can make an analytics detection trigger more than one event, simply use the > or >>
buttons to move each required event to the Mapped events list.

3. Save your event mapping by clicking the Save button in the Event Mapping Tool's

toolbar.

Repeat if you want other analytics detections to trigger other surveillance system events.

4. Open the XProtect Analytics Administrator application and restart the server service

by clicking the Restart Server button in the Administrator application's toolbar.

Tip: If mapping events to XProtect Corporate user-defined events, metadata containing the ID of
the camera behind the analytics event will be included in the mapping. This means, that it will be
possible to make XProtect Corporate start recording on the camera.

Mapping Detections with Generic Events and/or
Additional Hosts

Use this method to trigger generic events if connected to XProtect Professional or XProtect
Enterprise systems. You cannot trigger generic events if connected to XProtect Corporate systems.
