Nx Meta User Manual

Plugins are a type of integration that provides an enhanced data connection between Nx Meta and specific devices. This enables the Desktop Client to receive analytical metadata directly from a a camera and control settings using a common graphical user interface. This is similar to how Web Page Integrations provide a method for the Desktop Client to exchange data with external services.

Key Concepts

•Nx Meta automatically installs a set of plugins for popular cameras from worldwide vendors.

•Plugin vendors, integration developers, and device OEMs provide installation and configuration instructions for their products.

•The Desktop Client will only show plugins and integrations when compatible devices are connected and authorized.

•The Integration vendor defines the level of functionality provided by their plugin and is responsible for application support.

•Integrations can be independently installed, updated, configured, and removed from a Site.

•Plugins directly access the Event Rules engine, APIs, and media server SDK to provide custom analytics and data processing.

•Not all integrations are compatible with all Nx Meta releases nor all device models and firmware versions.

•Camera and device response time will vary with network traffic and the computational capacity of each device.

NOTE: Refer to vendor for device-specific documentation for additional information.
