Metadata devices deliver data streams to the system that the client users can use to view data about data, for example, data that describes the video image, the content or objects in the image, or the location of where the image was recorded. Metadata can be attached to cameras, microphones, or speakers.
Metadata can be generated by:
The device-generated metadata is automatically linked to one or more devices on the same hardware.
For information about supported hardware, see the supported hardware page on the Milestone website.
Roles determine the users' right to view metadata.
The system comes with a default start feed rule which ensures that metadata feeds from all connected hardware that supports metadata, are automatically fed to the system. Like other rules, the default rule can be deactivated and/or modified as required.
Enabling/disabling and renaming of individual devices take place on the recording server hardware. See Enable/disable devices via device groups.
For all other configuration and management of metadata devices, expand Devices in the Site Navigation pane, then select Metadata. In the Overview pane, you group your metadata devices for an easy overview. Initial grouping is done as part of the Add hardware wizard.
You can configure metadata devices on these tabs:
