Why manage certificates?
Certificates signed by a trusted authority are used by computers like government

issued photo ID is used by people:
To prove who you are.
To prevent camera streams being replaced by some other device, spoofing the
camera, or a Genetec server being replaced by some malicious server, certificates
can be used to validate the authenticity of the communicating parties.

Monitor incoming events

Monitor incoming events
Problem camera
Normal sending flood of
camera events
events
Cameras send video stream and events to the archiver.

Risk: Flooding the DB
Events are written to the archiver’s database.

Faulty hardware, misconfigured analytics, etc. can
send too many events, flooding the database.
Archiver
High event rate
The system can now monitor incoming camera

events to help detect when an unusually high
number of events are being received.
Config Tool  Video task  Roles and units  Resources  Advanced settings…
What to do with the “event”
By itself, an event is nothing more than an entry in a database.
No action occurs automatically.
However, you can link an action to the event
Other possible actions could include:

Send an email, trigger alarm, reboot unit, sound buzzer, etc.
Investigating
The archiver event: High event rate indicates

a problem with one or more cameras.
How can we isolate the problem?
Config Tool  Video task  Archiver role  Resources tab  Statistics  Details
Thank you

configuration required for LPM port Bidirectional LPM communication over tunnel
Typically, when adding a Sharp license plate reader to the system, the server connects
to the unit over https (port 443) and the unit uses port 10001 for the LPM protocol.
SSH tunnel
For additional security, SharpV license plate readers can

now communicate with the server over an SSH tunnel
Polygons in map mode
Create irregular shaped

polygons to define search area
