Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
IQSIGHT offers a forensic search plug-in for Genetec Security Center. How does it differ from the solution presented here?
The solution described here—searching for Bosch camera-detected objects through SC SaaS Forensic Search does not require additional plug-ins, providing an out-of-the-box experience in Genetec's Security Center SaaS.
However, one limitation is that it cannot combine object detection with Bosch IVA rules (such as line crossings or loitering) as with the Bosch Forensic Search plugin for the on-prem solutions.
Can I run all types of Bosch IVA Pro on a single camera to detect all objects?
No, it is not possible to run all types of IVA Pro simultaneously on one camera. You must select the specific type of IVA Pro that suit your use case. The only exception is the combination of IQSIGHT IVA Pro License Plate Recognition and Car Make/Model, which can run together. For other type, while multiple licenses can be installed on a single camera, only one can be active at any given time.
