Introduction

This guide describes the steps required to configure a Dahua device for integration with the GCX-ONE platform. It covers device onboarding, user setup, and configuration of IVS events and alarm reporting.

Prerequisites

Whitelist the IP 52.59.60.20 (Dahua Receiver). If you don’t use NXGEN OpenVPN services.
Local Mode is installed (For P2P streaming, Audio, Encrypted stream) in operator workstations.
Configure the new IP address given by NXGEN in case of using NXGEN OpenVPN services.

For both Search and Live, choose the cameras you are interested to have on GCX-ONE.
Don’t forget to press OK to save the changes.

step 2: Alarm configuration (Optional)

Note

We advise against configuring motion detection, as it can trigger numerous alarms, potentially leading to an overflow of alerts on GCX-ONE.

From the home page, go to the "Alarm" section.
In the Alarm menu, select "Video Detection." Here, you can configure a variety of alarms, including motion detection, video tampering, video loss, and more.

Note

The configuration steps are applicable for all types of alarms mentioned above.

Choose the camera you want to apply the alarm on.
To select the region or area of interest, click on the "Setting" button located to the right of "Channel."
Once the settings window appears, select the region you want to monitor. We recommend setting the sensitivity to 70 and the threshold to 5.
Save the changes by clicking OK.
To make the alarms available on GCX-ONE, click "More," then select "Log."

Step 3: AI configuration (IVS)

From the home page, go to the "AI" section.
From the menu, navigate to Parameters. then "IVS".
Choose the camera you want to configure.
Choose the type of configuration you want to have on the camera:

AI by Recorder: This configuration offers two types of detection:

Tripwire Detection: This feature detects objects crossing a predefined line. You can set it to monitor different directions, such as A->B, B->A, or bidirectional.
Intrusion Detection: Similar to Tripwire Detection, this monitors for objects crossing a boundary. However, it also requires some space outside the perimeter to detect entry effectively and exit events.

AI by Camera: This configuration Offers many options:

Crossing Virtual Fence.
Tripwire.
Intrusion.
Abandoned Object: It can be applied to the scene where the target is sparse and there is no obvious or frequent light change.
Fast Moving: Triggers an alarm when the speed of an object exiting a defined area exceeds a specified sensitivity setting.
Parking detection: Monitors a defined area for the presence of a vehicle that remains in the area without motion.
Crowd Gathering Detection: Monitors a defined area for a set number of people gathering and remaining inside the defined area.
Missing Object.
