  - 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.

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.

Drawing a processing mask 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 Processing section, perform the following tasks:
1. In the Drawing Mode list, select whether the paintbrush marks areas in the processing mask image to include (Analyze) or exclude (Ignore).
2. Using the Size slider, select the size of the paintbrush that you use in the processing mask image.
3. Use the mouse to draw the processing mask.
  
  If you make an error, you can reverse the drawing mode and modify the processing mask.
Click OK.
