Step by Step Instructions

1. In this document we will learn how to do event searches from within the LumiCenter Web Client. It is important to note that you cannot configure detection tools within the WebClient, you will need to do that through the desktop client, however you can search for the results within the WebClient. The first way to do an event search is to use the fast search option. To do this, you will see a magnifying glass inside the camera view, if you click on that option it will bring up a grid on the live view. Once the grid is there, you can use the mouse to draw an area to search, you can see that it will highlight the area blue. Once you have drawn your box you can click the search bar that will appear.

2. After clicking the search button, the WebClient will switch over to the event results page.

3. After you see the search results you can also make some changes to your search parameters. First you can change your motion detection area by dragging the bounding box with your mouse. Second you can adjust the search time range, and lastly you can change what you are searching for such as “Heat Map” “line Crossing” etc.

4. Next we will look at the second way to perform a normal search. To do this, first select the camera that you want to do a search on, then up top on the app bar, click on the search button.

5. When you do this, you will be directed to the search panel. You will then need to choose from the list on the left what type of search you want to do by clicking the search drop down option on the left.

6. As an example we will do a “Thumbnail search”, this will search within a range defined by you. After you perform the search you can see it breaks up the recording into multiple clips so you can better determine what time you need to look at to find something you are looking for.

7. We can also do a heatmap search, this requires a data source, so in this case we will use the object tracker to pull the data from. You will also want to set a search range on the ride hand side within the timeline bar. After clicking search you will see the heatmap on the playback. You can also choose the opacity of the heatmap underneath the playback. You can also export a picture of the heatmap by clicking the save image button in the bottom right.

8. Another option is to choose from the other sub detection tools such as line crossing. When choosing this option, it will add a line onto the live view which is what it will be using to search for. Anything that has crossed that line will show up in the event search. You can also adjust that line using your mouse to capture a specific spot. After clicking search you will see the results, then you can click on one of the results to jump to that specific time and then you can use the playback controls to play/pause etc. This step concludes how to search for events within LumiCenter WebClient.
