Generic VCA Channel

The Generic VCA Channel module is used to connect APIs from third-party suppliers via OnSSI application  interface (SAI). The interface sends image data to OnSSIOcularis 5 Recorder and receives events that, for example, require an alarm to be triggered.

SAI (SeeTec Analytics Interface) provides the following plugins:

In order to be detected correctly when the software starts up, the API must be stored in the "\VersatileApplications\VCAPlugin" subfolder of the OnSSI installation folder. The API module must be installed as either a 32-bit or 64-bit version, depending on the program version.

  1. Activate the module and, if necessary, alter the name.
  2. Select the API module.
  3. Enter the frame rate for detection.
  4. Select the appropriate camera.
  5. Select the appropriate video classification. The video classification determines which video stream is used in surveillance mode for the various modes (normal, selected, alarm).
  6. Apply the set values if you want to make further settings.
  7. Save the set values to apply the values and conclude input.
