Speak

The Speak button is an integral part of the 2-way audio transmission feature. It empowers the operator to transmit audio through a microphone to a camera. This is applicable to cameras that are configured with the ONVIF plugin and are equipped with either an internal or an external speaker.

How to configure the input device:

Open the Settings in the OpCon log in window and navigate to Additional Settings > Audio Transmission.
Select the Audio Transmission Speak Mode to configure the Speak button behavior. You have two options here:
- Hold: Voice is transmitted while button is pressed.
- Click and release: First click activates voice transmission. Second click deactivates voice transmission.
In the Default Input Device drop-down menu, select the default microphone.

How to set up the camera for audio transmission:

In the ManCon interface, in the section NVR & Cameras > Mediasources > Recorder > Mediachannels, ensure that the camera (either possessing a speaker or connected to one) is marked as capable of Audio Transmission.

Indication of the status of the Speak button:

The Speak button is normally grayed out. It is only active if a camera capable of audio transmission is selected in a viewer. If you select such a camera and click the Speak button, the icon changes from a muted icon to an active microphone icon. Additionally, a blinking red recording symbol appears in the viewer.

It is not possible to select multiple viewers simultaneously for multicast or broadcast audio.

Motion Search (MOS)

You can detect motions with the motion search (MOS) function in live images (see MOS Live) or in the background for a determined range of time (see Background MOS).

Presettings in ManCon

Before you can use the MOS functionality, enable the two privileges Create Cut Lists and Motion Search (MOS) in the ManCon. Note that these privileges can be enabled for User Groups and individual Users. Additionally, there are two optional MOS settings.

How to enable the necessary privileges:

To enable the privilege for user groups, go to Users and security > User Groups. To enable the privilege for a user, go to Users and security > Users.
Select the user group/user for which/whom you want to enable MOS and open the Privileges tab.
Under Cut Lists, enable the privilege Create Cut Lists.
Under Investigation, enable the privilege Motion Search (MOS).

Additional Settings:

Color of rectangle border:

You can change the color of the rectangles which are drawn on the viewer for MOS under Client setup > Client Data > Console Settings > MOS (for more information see Client Data).

Default cut list item length:

You can change the default length of the cut list items by adjusting the value of the setting Default Cutlist Item Length in Seconds under Server setup > System Settings > Operator Console.

This setting applies to all cut lists in your OpCon.

MOS Live

With MOS Live, you can detect motions in live images. Define a rectangle as an area in which motions are detected. When there is a motion, the rectangle gets another color and, if enabled, there is a brief sound. Additionally, an automatic MOS cut list with the detected motions can be created. With the respective control icon you can jump back to the previous detected motion.

How to use MOS Live:

Select the viewer in which you want to activate the MOS Live function.
In the toolbar, enable the Search Mode. The icon appears in the viewer toolbar.
Click on the icon.
Draw a rectangle to mark the area in which motions are to be detected.

The rectangle can only be drawn from the top left to the bottom right and must be larger than 10x10 pixels.

The motion detection is active. When there is a motion, the color of the rectangle changes and, if enabled, there is a brief sound.
If you want to disable or enable the sound (depending on the current setting), right-click into the viewer. A context menu opens where you can click either Disable Sound or Enable Sound.
If you want to create a cut list with the detected motions, click on the icon.

Every time a motion is detected, the respective image is added to the cut list.

If a new motion is detected and the recorded time falls into the current section of the cut list, nothing happens. If the recorded time is outside the current section time, a new section is added to the cut list. If you make any camera changes, such as zooming, pausing, etc., the current cut list is ended and the icon is deactivated.

Background MOS

With Background MOS, you can define an area and a time range in which motions are detected. Additionally, you can set the motion sensitivity. The Background MOS runs in the background and automatically creates a cut list with the detected motions.

IMPORTANT: Before you can use Background MOS, you must activate the G-Tect Activity Detection (AD) service on the G-Core server in G-Set > Image analyzers (see G-Core documentation).

How to use Background MOS:

Select the viewer in which you want to activate the Background MOS function.
In the toolbar, enable the Search Mode. The icon appears in the viewer toolbar.
Click on the icon. The icon appears in the viewer toolbar.
Draw a rectangle to mark the area in which motions are to be detected.

The rectangle can only be drawn from the top left to the bottom right and must be larger than 10x10 pixels.
Click on the icon. The Background MOS menu opens.
Select a start and end date and time of the Background MOS and set the Motion Sensitivity.
Click on the Start Background MOS button. A cut list is created to which images with detected motions are added automatically while the set range of time.

If there are no results for the selected search, the dialog window There are no search results to show with the selected configuration or the G-Tect AD was not activated on G-Core side opens.
