A Metadata Server is the server to host third-party device servers and archive their data. The “plugin” is a module for each of the custom integrations working with the Metadata Server to make the Metadata Server capable of exchanging data with the third-party Metadata source through a “Metadata channel”.
This allows faster development cycles from field requests to a finished tested product. When integrated with 3rd party products like POS and access control products, which are used as Metadata sources by the NVR Metadata structure, the NVR platform becomes a seamless interface allowing intelligent search and data filtering for monitoring and handling events. Data is supplied to the Metadata source via Metadata channels. For example: the Door channels supply the Access Control Server and the Register channels supply the POS Server. Through the Metadata Plugin, users can manage metadata by recording real time information in databases which describe events that link to video. The Metadata Server integrates third party data and video in a unified management platform. NVR provides different plugin modules for 3rd party products to meet your needs.
To access the setting of a Metadata Server:
1. Access the Physical Config (“physical configuration”) as described in Physical Config (Management Server).
The physical configuration opens onscreen, and the Tree Console shows the topics: Management Server, Recording Server, Recording Failover Server, Metadata Server, and Matrix.
2. If a plus sign (+) shows besides the sub topic Metadata Server, click the plus sign (+) to collapse the existing Metadata Server(s). Then click the Metadata Server to configure.
OR
If a minus sign (-) shows besides the sub topic Metadata Server, the existing Metadata Server(s) collapse already. Simply click the Metadata Server to configure.
The Properties tabbed page then opens at the Configuration Pane to configure the selected Metadata Server while the other five tabbed pages are hidden.
3. Access one of these tabbed pages to configure the Metadata Server.
