  - Add a video analytic license to a camera
    To use a video analytic on a camera, you must add a license that includes the video analytic to the camera.
  - Draw a processing mask
    You can draw a processing mask for a video analytic in the Senstar Symphony Server configuration interface to define the area in the camera view that the video analytic analyzes.
  - Calibrate a camera
    For some video analytics, you must calibrate the camera to achieve optimum performance and accuracy.
  - TCP Listener
    The TCP Listener is a video analytic that listens for incoming metadata over a TCP socket and associates the metadata with an image or video.
  - Analog Video Signal Loss
    The Analog Video Signal Loss video analytic is a video analytic that can detect when video from a camera is unavailable.
  - Automatic License Plate Recognition
    The Automatic License Plate Recognition video analytic is a video analytic for the Senstar Symphony Server that can detect and index license plates.
  - Camera Tampering
    The Camera Tampering video analytic is a video analytic that can detect when a camera's field of view is obstructed.
  - Crowd Detection
    The Crowd Detection video analytic is a video analytic that offers crowd detection, event triggering, and alarms.
  - Image Stabilization
    The Image Stabilization video analytic can stabilize video when a camera experiences vibrations or other small movements.
  - Indoor People Tracking
    The Indoor People Tracking video analytic offers people counting, dwell-time detection, event triggering, and alarms.
  - Left and Removed Item Detection
    The Left and Removed Item Detection video analytic can detect when an object is added to or removed from the scene.
  - Motion Detection
    The Motion Detection video analytic offers motion detection, event triggering, and alarms.

Calibrate a camera

For some video analytics, you must calibrate the camera to achieve optimum performance and accuracy.

Calibrating a camera is part of configuring a video analytic.

In the Senstar Symphony Server configuration interface, click Devices > Cameras.
Select the camera and click Edit.
In the Add-Ons list click Configure for the video analytic.
In the Calibration section, perform the following tasks:
1. Click on the calibration image to place avatars on the image.
  The avatars help you visualize people in the sample image.
2. In the Field of view field, type the camera's field of view in degrees.
3. In the Pan field, type the angle (degrees) of horizontal rotation around the vertical access of the camera.
4. In the Twist field, type the angle (degrees) of rotation around the long axis of the camera.
5. In the Twist field, type the angle (degrees) of rotation around the long axis of the camera.
6. In the Height field, type the height of the camera.
7. In the Distance field, type the distance between the camera and the center of the calibration grid.
Click Save.

Additionally, you can drag the camera in the calibration diagram to place it in relation to the scene. The Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons adjust the scale of the calibration diagram.
