Viewing events
Overview
You can examine events reported from a computer aided dispatch system (CAD), or "911 calls", license plate readers (LPR), and other incidents. If your system is integrated with additional surveillance systems, such as Hitachi Live Face Matching and Hitachi Video Analytics, incidents detected by those systems can generate event alerts and be displayed on the map in Visualization Suite.
