There are two steps to display a box around detected objects within the viewing client.
Step 1 - Enable the Metadata stream
It is possible to record Metadata from the EdgeVis Encoder. This metadata can be used in conjunction with the SafeZone 2D object detection feature.
Open the Milestone Management client, and go to your Recording servers.
For the desired encoder, right-click on the Metadata stream and select Enabled:
If metadata is being received, the interface at the bottom will animate with 1’s and 0’s:
Step 2 - Viewing Bounding Boxes
Under the Rules section of Milestone XProtect Management client, ensure the Default Start Metadata Feed Rule is Active.
Within the Milestone XProtect viewer, under Settings, Functions, ensure that Bounding boxes option is set to available.
Ensure the EdgeVis encoder SafeZone 2d is configured and enabled.
If configured correctly, bounding boxes should appear when the SafeZone 2d detection triggers
A rule can be configured to trigger on an object detection. See Object Presence and Object Stopped in the Configuring triggers and rules article.
