Ai Server Plugin Advanced Configuration

When using a DW Blackjack Ai Server, the device will come with both DW Spectrum and the DW Blackjack Ai Server Configuration Tool installed. These two applications are used in tandem to view and manage the analytic system and video recordings.

While most of the analytic server settings can be managed with the Blackjack Ai Server Configuration Tool, DW Spectrum is dependent upon the presence of the Ai Server Plugin to utilize the metadata. As a result of this, there are some advanced camera settings available in the DW Spectrum Client that are not available in the DW Blackjack Ai Server Configuration Tool.

This article will outline where to find the Advanced Ai Server plugin settings and define what each setting is for.

 

**NOTE: The Advanced plugin menu that this article refers to is available for DW Blackjack Ai Servers only.

 

Supported/Affected Devices:

  • DW Blackjack® Ai Server
