Vehicle Surveillance Package
Vehicle Surveillance Package (VSP) Overview
The Vehicle Surveillance Package (VSP) is an add-on package on the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS that allows users to view, monitor, and analyze vehicle data.
The VSP stores license plates and other vehicle-related information from multiple locations and cameras. Users can search for a vehicle of interest using a specific plate search, or search using other vehicle categories such as Make, Color, Direction, and Body Type.
The VSP also analyzes the plate against configured rules to raise a real-time alert when a vehicle of interest is detected on any of the cameras.
Prerequisites
Important
VSP is a subscription added on a per-camera basis that can be enabled for cameras that already have LPR analytics enabled. (Eagle Eye LPR or On-Camera LPR Enabled on specific model numbers)
You need to meet the following requirements:
- You have a VSP subscription (EN(i)-PA-001-X)
- The camera you want to enable VSP on has LPR analytics enabled
- VSP is integrated with specific LPR analytics and the following LPR analytics:
- Eagle Eye LPR (part Number EN(i)-ANA-020-X and EN(i)-ANA-022-X)
- Hanwha LPR Models:
- XNO-6120R/XNV-6120R with Arteco LPR Application
- PNV-A9081RLP/PNO-A9081RLP with LPR pre-installed from Hanwha
- Users have permission to VSP
Core Components
Events
The VSP provides comprehensive event management and search capabilities across multiple time periods and cameras.
VSP Summary /lprEvents:Summary
The VSP Summary shows the camera-level event count summary for the last hour, yesterday, today, the last 7 days, and the last 30 days.
The event count can be presented for the whole account, and also listed per cameras.
VSP Search /lprEvents
The API allows to search for vehicle events based on license plate, or using other vehicle categories like Make, Color, Direction, and Body types, and also based on user-defined data.
The search can defined by a set of cameras or locations, and also by a defined time range.
VSP Vehicle List /lprVehicleLists
Vehicle List is a group of plates grouped together under a single name for easy management. The vehicle list has an access category and access control schedule for LPR-based access control automation which is integrated with Eagle Eye LPR (with Local ID).
The Vehicle List can be integrated with an external database for its automatic update and management.
The Vehicle List allows users to group vehicles under a list and map to specific cameras and locations.
For each vehicle the following information is provided:
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| License Plate | The license plate of the vehicle |
| Access Type | - allow - If the vehicle is allowed- deny - If the vehicle is denied |
| Security Status | - hotlist - To define whether a vehicle is special and needs an alert- exempted - The vehicle marked as exempt would be exempted from the alert. This applies to rules where the target type selected is the Vehicle List.- Null - If security status is null |
| Valid From/Valid To | To define if the vehicle has an expiry for access schedule. Only applicable for Eagle Eye LPR (Local ID). |
| Schedule | The schedule defines the time on each day the vehicle is allowed for entry. Only applicable for Eagle Eye LPR (Local ID). |
| User data | User data is a key and value pair defined for identification of a vehicle. User data tagged to a vehicle is stored in the license plate event, and that enables searching for a vehicle based on user data on VSP Search. A few examples of user data: - Company/EagleEyeNetworks - Resident/Unit 1101 - Visitor/UPS truck |
Rules /lprAlertConditionRules
The VSP rules service allows users to configure a rule and receive an alert when a license plate event qualifies the rule. There are different rules.
Eagle Eye VSP is configured to a specific plate or to a vehicle list (a group of license plates). It supports different rules, such as:
- Allowed Vehicle
- Denied Vehicle
- Watch Vehicle
- Hotlist
- Number of License Plate Events
After the alert is generated, it is sent to the alert manager service, and the action is performed as it was configured for the rule. Through alert manager integration, VSP supports different alert actions, such as notifications though the web application or email, messages over Slack, as I/O triggers, and so on.
Getting Started
To implement VSP in your environment:
- Verify Prerequisites: Ensure all cameras have active LPR analytics subscriptions
- Configure Vehicle Lists: Create and populate vehicle lists with appropriate access settings and user data
- Set up Rules: Define automated monitoring rules based on your use case requirements
- Test Integration: Validate alert delivery and API response accuracy
- Deploy: Activate VSP monitoring across your target cameras and locations
