3 1 General behavior of this Document This document is targeting integrators and users of the Pelco Anayltics integration for Milestone XProtect VMS. The SmartSoftware plugins from EET Security are deeply integrated into the Milestone XProtect VMS Platform and don t need any additional Software. MIP (Milestone Integration Platform) Plugins are dynamically loaded from the Milestone Applications and Services, which allows a simple installation and configuration. This document describes how to setup and configure your System to enable the Pelco Device Analytics in your Milestone VMS. The Architecture of the MIP Plugin is as follows: The Smart Pelco Analytics integration consists of two different Plugins for the Milestone VMS. One is installed on the Server side for the configuration and retrieval of events and is running inside the Milestone Event Server. The other one is for drawing overlays in the Smart Client, dependent of the Pelco device you are using. The Installer SS_ER_SmartPelcoAnalytics_vX_X_RX_Setup.exe includes all the necessary Files and installers for both plugins by EET Security / DFR-CH 3

4 2 Pelco Edge Analytics MIP Plugin for the XProtect Event Server The following chapters describes how to install, configure and use the Server side XProtect Event Server Plugin, which gets the Analytics events from your Pelco Device and converts them into a Milestone XProtect format. 2.1 Installation of the Pelco Edge Analytics Plugin for the XProtect Event Server The installation of the Plugin is packed into a Setup Wizard, which will setup everything needed in your Environment. The Setup Wizard will do the following job: - It installs the Plugin directly on the Master Server when you are using XProtect Express, Professional or Enterprise. - It adds the Smart Analytics Overlay Smart Client Plugin to the Milestone Download Manager - If you are using XProtect Corporate, then the installer must been run on the XProtect Corporate Management Client PC and on the XProtect Event Server. - It will Stop and Restart the Event Server Service to activate the Plugin in the Event Server - It will add the rule Pelco Analytics UPnP Receiver Port to your Windows Firewall to allow incoming connections on TCP port The installer will copy the Plugin files into the following Directory: o o %ProgramFiles%\Milestone\MIPPlugins\ER.EventServer.EdgeAnalytics %ProgramFiles (x86)%\milestone\mipplugins\er.eventserver.edgeanalytics The Event Server MIP Plugin is dynamically loaded and used by the following XProtect Applications: XProtect Application: Description: XProtect Version: Event Server The Event Server will load the plugin which is fetching the Analytics Events from the Pelco Camera and triggers the configured Manual Event in the XProtect Server. This Manual Event can then be used for creating an Alarm definition. All Management Application Management Client The Management Application loads the Plugin to provide the configuration GUI. The Management Application loads the Plugin to provide the configuration GUI. Express, Professional, Enterprise Corporate by EET Security / DFR-CH 4

5 2.2 Configuration of the Pelco Edge Analytics Plugin for the XProtect Event Server After the installation you can start your XProtect Management Application. After the first start you will find a new Entry under MIP Plug-Ins called Device Analytics Events by EET Security / DFR-CH 5

6 2.2.1 Prepare your Milestone XProtect System First of all, you need to add your Pelco Device to the configuration. To do that you need to prepare the following: Add your Pelco Device to your XProtect Server Create the Manual Events (User-defined Events) to be triggered from the Events of this Device. Create the Analytics Events to be triggered from the Events of this Device. This will allow detailed information about your Alarm including overlay drawings, dependent on the Analytics Events coming from your device. Using Analytics Events provides the Meta data in the Alarm Manager of your Smart Client. If you are using Pelco Thermography cameras with temperature monitoring values, we recommend to change the Event Server settings Keep events for: to your desired value (eg. 30 days) If you are using Pelco Thermography cameras, you also have to check your Firewall to allow incoming connections on TCP port (Event Server) by EET Security / DFR-CH 6

7 2.2.2 License If you select the Device Analytics Events entry you can manage your License: Device and Event configuration When everything is configured, you can select the Pelco Device Analytics entry by EET Security / DFR-CH 7

8 Press Add to enter the device configuration: You can directly import the configuration data by selecting the desired Camera from the DropDown List. Open the Pelco Analytics Configuration in a separate Window to create the Analytics Events (if not already done) by EET Security / DFR-CH 8

9 With Start Event Scan you can check the connection to the Device and listen for Events. If an Event from the Camera is received, it will automatically appear in the List. Using a Pelco Thermography Camera with temperature monitoring, all monitored Zones will appear automatically in the List. You now can select a Manual Event from the Dropdown list of this Entry and/or configure if you want to send an Event of the type AnalyticsEvent with a specific name. For each Zone a specific Color and Overlay Text Position can be selected (the Overlay Text position is just used for the temperature monitoring values.) Note: If you add analytics events from your Pelco Device manually, the Zone Name and behavior / Analytics Event Type must exactly match the one in your device configuration! Otherwise the alarms will not be forwarded to your Milestone VMS by EET Security / DFR-CH 9

10 By pressing Apply this Pelco Analytics Device is added to your Configuration. After pressing Save and load the new Configuration is stored on the Server and the Process running in the Event Server is informed about the Configuration change by EET Security / DFR-CH 10

With this plugin you are able to show detected alarms directly in the Smart Client as an overlay drawing in real time or in playback mode. This is useful to have an immediate indication for security purposes or to show the values of a Pelco Thermography camera with temperature monitoring. 3.1 Installation of the Pelco Edge Analytics Overlay Plugin for the XProtect Smart Client The installation of the Plugin is packed into a Setup Wizard, which will do everything needed in your Client Environment. This installer file is added during the Server Installation Setup to the Milestone Download Manager and is available from the Internal XProtect VMS Download page: Address for Milestone XProtect SMB Express, Professional and Enterprise: Address for Milestone XProtect Advanced VMS Expert and Corporate: by EET Security / DFR-CH 13
