Search Serial
The Search Serial drop-down list contains any key words and rules associated with a profile configured on the Serial
Profiles page. If the key word or rule is linked to an event on the Event Linking page, you can search for the event using
Search Serial.
NOTE: If you do not see the Search Serial drop-down list, make sure that you haven’t selected the Events, Bookmarks, or
Cases button from the Navigation Pane.
Following is an example of how Search Serial could be used:
1. Suppose you have a cash register connected to an exacqVision server, and you want to be able to search for
video of all tobacco purchases at that register.
2. Use the Serial Profiles page to create a profile called Register 1. Also, add and enable a Key Word “tobacco.”
3. On the Event Linking page, create an Event with a type of Serial Profile or Serial Port. Select “Register 1 –
tobacco” as the source, Record Video as the action, and the camera pointed at Register 1 as the target.
4. On the Serial Ports page, add the register as a POS device using the Register 1 profile.
5. On the Search Page, select the POS device from the tree and the associated camera.
6. Select “tobacco” from the Search Serial drop-down list.
7. Select the desired time range.
8. Click Search. All instances of “tobacco” that occurred in the POS data on the register during the time range are
shown on the timeline in red. The associated video is shown in blue.
9. You can now play back the video and associated POS data side-by-side. The data that matches the search
parameters is shown in red text in the POS data.
If you select a rule from the drop-down list, you can click the pencil button to open the Serial Rules window and modify
the search parameters or edit the rule.
