How to use Mobotix IoT Events and configure the MOBOTIX HUB IoT Event Search in MOBOTIX HUB DeskClient

With the MOBOTIX HUB IoT Event Search Plugin, we offer the possibility to search for IoT events in the DeskClient.

- Image analysis event (ActivitySensor/Videomotion)
- Environment event (e.g. thermal radiometry)
- MxMessage event
- META Event

How you have to configure this and how you can use it, you can see in this article.


1. Configure Events in your IoT Camera



2. Select your Events in the Recording setting of the camera


Its important the the events you want to use, trigger a recoding within the camera.

in this example we ware using the Activity Sensor.

The MxHub System reacts on the following URL:

http://ip-adresse/control/event.jpg?output=alarmupdate

This alarmupdate only appears, when a recording within the camera is triggered.

Check if the camera is armed.

The camera is now finished and ready to add into the MxHub


3. Add the IoT Devices to the corresponding camera in the MxHub

ManagementClient → RecordingServer → Select your RecordingServer → Select the camera you want to use → Events → Add…

Select Image Analysis Event: AS and click OK

This Event is now listed in the Eventlist:


4. Create a Rule for Recording

To get a recording for the Image Analysis Event you have to create a Rule

ManagementClient → Rules and Events
Right Click → Add Rule…

Create a Recording Rule (This is only an example)

Rule

Now the MxHub is recording when the Activity Sensor of the camera is triggering


5. Set the Event Retention Time
Managemement Client → tools → options → Alarms and events

If you don’t set this, you are not able to Search for Events


6. Set an Search Filter in the MxHub DeskClient
