👁️ Ganz Integration

Integrating Ganz devices with GCXONE ensures that edge-based intelligence (Line Crossing, Intrusion) is accurately captured in the cloud. This integration relies on the ONVIF protocol for discovery and event handling.

📋 Prerequisites​

  • Ganz IP Camera/NVR: Accessible on the local network.
  • ONVIF Service: Enabled within the Ganz device settings.
  • NTP Synchronization: Crucial for matching alarm timestamps with the GCXONE buffer.

🛠️ Configuration Steps​

  1. 1

    1. Accurate Timekeeping​

  2. 2

    Navigate to Time Settings in the Ganz web UI.

  3. 3
    • Set the correct Timezone.
    • Enable NTP and use pool.ntp.org or time1.nxgen.cloud.
  4. 4

    2. Activate Smart Analytics​

  5. 5

    Navigate to Alarm/Event Settings.

  6. 6
    1. Configure your detection zones (Line Crossing or Intrusion).
    2. Set the Sensitivity and Threshold to suit the environment.
    3. Important: Enable the "ONVIF Event Push" or "Log Report" if available to ensure the device sends signals externally.

    3. Stream Optimization​

  9. 9

    Navigate to Live View/Stream Settings.

  10. 10
    • Configure the Main Stream for recording.
    • Configure the Sub-Stream (CIF/D1) for live monitoring.
    • Ensure ONVIF is toggled to Enabled.

    4. Final Discovery in GCXONE​

  12. 12
    1. Log in to GCXONE → Sites → Devices.
    2. Click Add Device and select GanzAI.
    3. Enter the device IP, Port (usually 80 or 8080 for ONVIF), and credentials.
    4. Click Discover. GCXONE will pull in all analytic channels as virtual sensors.

💡 Troubleshooting​

  • Sensors Not Appearing: Ensure the ONVIF user has "Administrator" or "Operator" level privileges. Some Ganz firmware restricts ONVIF discovery to admin accounts.
  • No Video Stream: Verify that the RTSP Port (554) is open and reachable from the GCXONE gateway if using a public IP.
  • Missed Detections: Check the "Detection Region" in the Ganz UI. Ensure the red "Activity" indicator triggers when you walk through the zone.
