Smart Recognition

The Smart Recognition plugin is a Spotter plugin that shows Face Recognition (FR), License Plate Recognition (LPR), and Object Recognition (OR) events.

Object, license plate and face recognition requires license for each recognition stream.

Open the plugin and view live detection events

  1. Click the Spotter plugin toolbar item to open the plugin:

When you open the plugin, it displays all live events.

  1. Select if you want to filter by LPR, FR, and OR under Where. This will determine which cameras are displayed for selection.

  2. Select which cameras to use under Where to narrow down the events displayed.

  3. Under What / Who the tabs for the select services and cameras will be enabled depending on the services and cameras selected under Where. All selections under these tabs will apply when applying the filter.

  4. Click Apply.

For example, if you are selecting both OR and LPR services and cameras, the attributes selected for vehicles in the OR tab and the LPR tab will be applied when filtering out the events when you click Apply. The FR tab will be disabled.
