Mapping-Compatible Surveillance System Events
You can only map analytics detections with certain types of surveillance system events. If
connected to XProtect Professional or XProtect Enterprise surveillance systems, you can map:
 Events set up as event buttons on the surveillance system server
 Events set up as generic events on the surveillance system server
Note that these events can easily be used for subsequently triggering output, etc.—this is defined
on the surveillance system server itself.
If connected to XProtect Corporate surveillance systems you can map events set up as user-
defined events on the surveillance system server.
Note that these events can easily be used for subsequently triggering output, etc.—this is defined
as part of the surveillance system’s rules configuration.
Mapping Analytics 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 button in the Event Mapping Tool’s toolbar.
