The Scenario Series of videos addresses setup configurations for specific use cases.
In this video our scenario is that of a user that wants to use Event Monitoring to bring attention to an ExacqVision operator when someone parks in specific parking spaces. This could be used to prevent people from parking in forbidden areas, to alert someone to customers in curb-side pickup spots, and more.
We walk through setting up AI Object Classfication within an Illustra IQ camera and configuring Event Monitoring in ExacqVision to change our displayed camera views when triggered.

This video will walk you through connecting a Kantech KT-1 controller using an ioSmart Reader to Cloudvue. Be sure you have followed the steps in a separate video on configuring the KT-1 Controller for Cloudvue Mode before proceeding.
- After connecting your ioSmart Reader to the KT-1 controller, connect the system to your network to communicate with Cloudvue.
- Add the ioSmart Reader to the account before adding the KT-1 controller.
- Press the Account button, then choose the Devices tab.
- Click the Add New Device button and select Add Mobile Access Device.
- Enter a Name.
- Enter the Serial Number, located on the back of the reader, followed by a dash and the confirmation code, also on the back of the reader.
Example: 123A456B-CD78 - Select Function Mode. Choose Panel Based (Mobile Credential Reader) when using with a controller, such as the KT-1.
- Panelless installations of ioSmart Readers do not have controllers, such as the KT-1, they are standalone readers.
- Select the Location.
- Save changes.
- Add the KT-1 Controller. Return to the Devices tab and press the Add New Device button, then select Add Access Control Device.
- With the controller added, enter the controller’s settings to associate the ioSmart Reader with the controller. From the settings page, select the Readers tab.
- Check the Mobile Credentials box, allowing uses to use the Cloudvue Access mobile app as well as cards and fobs.

With Artificial Intelligence being used more often users may notice a spike in the analytic metadata being processed and stored. Here are our recommendations to manage this increase.
Update exacqVision Server/Client Software
- Ensure you are running the latest version of both exacqVision Server and Client software.
- Search “updating” in the exacqVision Client User Manual, available Here for information on updating.
Adjust Camera Settings
- Access Analytics from the camera’s configuration GUI page
- Only those analytic types required by the customer should be enabled
- The goal is to keep this setting as minimal as possible, while still achieving the customers goals.
Reduce DB retention period
- Reduce ‘Maximum Days to Keep Bounding Box Metadata’ available in exacqVision Server/Client 23.09 and higher. See: Maximum Days to Keep Bounding Box Metadata Explained
- Reduce the ‘Maximum Days to Keep Logged Events’
- These settings decide when older items should be removed or “Purged” from the Database (eventPI), the lower the value, the less storage needed.
- It is recommended to set this value as low as possible and adjust based on available storage when data is processing
- Customer retention requirements must also be considered.
Disable Analytics
- Each camera is different, but if the user does not have enough storage for 24 hours of analytics, or if analytics are not needed, currently the best option is to disable the analytics completely.
- Within the exacqVision Client software, go to Configuration → Server → Configure System → Add IP Cameras → Camera Recording → Analytics Camera → Analytics tab – Uncheck “Record analytic data”
