Integrating Guarded Tour with IRIS+ Alarm Filter

read up on sentinel's guarded tour integration with irisity here to get started working with guard tour analytics cameras can be configured to run an automated ‘guard tour’ where the system, in analogy with a regular guard tour where a guard goes to a site and checks for anything suspicious, will collect a short video clip and send this to an analytics service which should return a list of all events/incidents/changes which could have happened in the scene setting up the integration we recommend using a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 to prevent any screen misbehaviors please refer to your operating system's instructions to learn how to change your screen resolution setup site once a site has been setup, it needs to be ‘commissioned’ in order to receive alarms this is done on the following page add a transmitter a transmitter is anything which can send alarms to sentinel and can be an nvr/camera/detector/… the first transmitter is added automatically when the site is setup to add a new transmitter select an existing transmitter and click on ‘add transmitter’ in the lower left portion of the new screen setup devices on the transmitter on the ‘transmitter’ page, open the ‘programming’ page, click on the green plus sign in the lower right corner of the screen to add a new device (here a camera) clicking on the green plus sign opens a camera dialog the same dialog is opened when double clicking on the device in the list enable ‘analysis service’ by unchecking the ‘auto’ button and selecting irisity in the drop down list likewise ‘guard tour analysis service’ is enabled by unchecking the ‘auto’ button and selecting irisity in the drop down list (notice that guard tour does require a schedule to function) setup the camera to send events to sentinel using http example below for axis, other camera models have different endpoints documentation on this can be found at axis | sentinel https //docs monitor uk/sentinel/administrator guide/signalling/cctv and audio systems/axis the camera should be setup to send images through http it seems as if video is not supported by sentinel (at least nothing is forwarded to the irisity alarm filter) if sending images, make sure that the camera does not send more than 1 2 images per second sentinel generates a video from the images sent, if the system sends too many frames to sentinel then the generated video will be too long (in seconds) due to incorrect frame rate set by sentinel alarms longer than 90 seconds are rejected as too long by the alarm filter the setup manuals for axis cameras in sentinel shows to use one frame per second receiving alarms alarms should now appear in sentinel whenever the alarm filter has classified them as true the availability of an alarm is seen in the red fire alarm bell button on the top of the screen verify that sentinel can connect to a camera (live view) select the transmitter, click on the ‘cctv’ button in the menu bar this opens the following screen connect to camera live view by double clicking on the camera icon (not the transmitter) schedule add a schedule by clicking on the ‘schedule’ radio button in the menu to the left the schedule can be set up to trigger at regular intervals
