Adding Cameras

In this section, we will guide you through the smooth incorporation of cameras into KloudVision. Incorporating cameras is more than just a physical setup; it symbolizes the merging of advanced technology and thoughtful strategy to establish a unified network of vigilant observers. Refer to the Camera Specifications document to select the appropriate camera for your needs.

1. Once you have connected the controller, the next thing you need to do is to add the cameras to it. To do so, Click on the KloudManage and Choose your account.

   

2. Navigate to VISION CONTROLLERS > Click on configuration icon for the desired controller.

3. In the window that opens click on the +Add Camera button

Enter the following in the popup window that opens and click the Save Changes button.

• Name your camera.

    (We recommend naming your camera based on its location or 
    using a clear, identifiable name for easy recognition)
  

• Provide Unique ID for the Camera

    (Assign a Unique ID to the camera for identification and management within the system)
  

• Enter Camera Frames Per Seconds (We recommend setting it to 25 FPS for optimal performance)

• Choose the connection type (RTSP/HTTP or USB).

• If we choose RTSP/HTTP we need to enter the URL you will link your camera feed from.

• If using USB, provide the USB ID in the URL where the camera is connected (default is 0).
(If unsure, please contact the Kloudspot Team for assistance.)

• Select Codec based on the camera specifications (Refer to camera specifications)

Once the camera is configured, additional settings can be adjusted based on its intended use case.

General Camera Configuration

1. To configure general camera configuration, navigate to Vision Controller>(Select Controller configuration)

2. In the camera list that opens, click on the Configuration button next to the camera you want to configure. Immediately the camera configuration window will open.

4. Enable: To activate any camera setup you desire, check enable checkbox.

5. Post Camera Feed: Enable this check box if you want to get camera status in KloudManage application.

6. Target device: Select GPU as per your controller specifications.

9. KloudInsights Post URL: Enter your KloudInsights URL here.

10. Buffer Frame for Recording: Enable if you want a video/ image proof for the incidents happened, should have integration with KloudInsights.

• Frames per second (for processing): These are the number of frames used by Vision Controller every second for data processing. KloudVision does not use all the frames emitted from the camera in a second. Higher values provided in this field may increase CPU/GPU usage.

• Data Frequency in seconds: This value indicates how long Vision controller aggregates data before sending it out to KloudInsights. A lower value may increase the data frequency and result in a faster response. A higher value results in a delayed response. Buffer Entry/Exit:

• Post Request Timeout (in seconds): This value indicates how long KloudVision waits and retries to send the payloads out to KloudInsights until it reaches the preset timeout period.

• Head to Body Ratio: Minimum head-to-body ratio required to classify a person as a child. If detected ratio meets/exceeds this value, the model identifies the individual as a child

• Head Confidence: Minimum confidence score for head detection. Only detections scoring at or above this threshold are considered valid by the model.

• Body Confidence: Minimum confidence score for person detection. Only detections scoring at or above this threshold are considered valid by the model

• Bag Confidence: Minimum confidence score for bag detection. Only detections scoring at or above this threshold are considered valid by the model.

• Tray Confidence: Minimum confidence score for tray detection. Only detections scoring at or above this threshold are considered valid by the model

• Tiny Tray Confidence: Minimum confidence score for tiny tray detection. Only detections scoring at or above this threshold are considered valid by the model

• Unique count Confidence: Minimum confidence required for the model to match two person detections as the same individual. Used for accurate unique person counting

Common Troubleshooting Scenarios

Troubleshooting scenarios can be performed by logging into TTY (Terminal). (Please ensure a display is connected to the controller if it is not already attached.)

Steps to Access TTY:

3. Press ALT + Ctrl + F5 to switch to TTY5.
4. Enter the following credentials

Username: kloudspot Password: kloudspot123

After successful we will be able to see below options

Installation Issues:

For troubleshooting Installation Issues please refer to 5.3 Troubleshooting Installation Issues

Network Connectivity:

What should we do if KloudController cannot connect to the internet?

Log in to the KloudController.

• Check the IP address of the controller to verify whether the desired IP address has been assigned. To verify the IP Address, refer to 5.4.1 Setting up Network Configurations

• If the IP address is not assigned:

    Check the network connectivity to ensure the controller is properly connected.
  
    Verify DHCP settings if using automatic IP assignment.
  
    If a static IP needs to be configured, refer to the 5.4.1 Setting up Network Configurations for detailed steps
  

  Once the IP is assigned, proceed with the following diagnostic steps:

• Choose option 6 to perform Network Diagnostics

• From the Network Diagnostics menu, choose Option 1 to run a ping test and check connectivity.

• If the ping test fails, choose Option 2 to run a traceroute and diagnose network path issues.

• If connectivity issues persist:

    Check the internet connection to the controller.
  
    Reboot the controller and repeat the steps above.
  

• Are there specific diagnostics we should perform (e.g., checking DNS or NTP settings)?

    Users can also check and modify the current Network configuration by choosing option 5 in main menu
  

• Verify Current Network Settings:

    Choose Option 1 to check details such as:
    - Network Interface
    - Mode
    - IP Address
    - Gateway
    - DNS Server
  

• Select Option 2 to set up a new network configuration if needed.

• TO check NTP server settings refer to NTP COnfigurations

What should we do if KloudController cannot connect to the Kloudspot Platform?

• Select Option 7 to display the device status from the main menu

  Registration Status – If the device is licensed, the status will be True; otherwise, it will be False.

  WebSocket Connection – If the device is successfully connected to the application server, the status will be True; otherwise, it will be False. If both Registration Status and Web Socket Connection is False, please contact Kloudspot Support Team to provide required Licence

  TCP Connection Status – This is used for maintenance and software upgrades by the Kloudspot team. By default, the status is Disconnected. but it will be enabled when a Kloudspot engineer is working on the device.

• What should we do if KloudController is not showing camera feed? Choose Option 1 to check Kloudspot service status from the main menu

If the required services are not running, go back and choose Option 2 to download and restart the services.

Service Failures:

What is some typical service-related problems (e.g., KloudVision failing to connect to a camera)?

• If KloudVision or another service fails to connect to a camera, check the following:

1. RTSP Port Blocked: Ensure RTSP port 554 is enabled in the firewall or network settings. If using a custom RTSP port, verify the correct port is configured.
2. Incorrect Camera Credentials: Verify the username and password in the RTSP URL match the camera’s login credentials. Check for any case-sensitive mismatches.
3. Test Raw Camera Feed: Open VLC Media Player and try streaming the RTSP feed directly. If the stream fails, the issue may be with the camera settings or network.
4. Camera Network & Configuration: Ensure the camera is powered on and connected to the network. Check if the camera IP address is correct and accessible. Verify that the camera firmware is up to date.

• Are there logs or tools users can check for troubleshooting these services?

    * Users can check various logs using Option 14, which provides valuable insights into system behaviour and potential issues. Below is an overview of what each log contains:
  
    * If you need to exit from any logs press ctrl+c
