Camera Management

Quick Setup​

With just an RTSP address, you can instantly register a camera in EVA and freely configure AI analysis settings.

EVA attempts to connect immediately once you enter the RTSP streaming address of an IP camera. If the connection is successful, it retrieves the live stream and begins AI analysis right away—no complex setup required.

You can also register the same RTSP address multiple times to create multiple logical camera units. Each camera can have different scenarios applied, enabling multi-perspective analysis on the same video source.

Registration Steps​

  1. Click the Add New Camera button on the EVA dashboard.

  2. Enter the camera name and RTSP address.

    • Example: rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.100:554/stream

  3. A connection test runs automatically. If successful, a still image from the camera is displayed.

  4. Registration complete! EVA retrieves frames at configured intervals and performs AI analysis.

  5. You can monitor the overall status, including connection health and event counts, in real time on the dashboard.


⚠️ If the RTSP address is incorrect or there are network issues, the connection will fail. Ensure a stable camera and network environment.



Camera Settings​

Registered cameras allow you to modify all key settings, including name and RTSP address. Previously, these values were fixed, but updates now enable more flexible management.

You can also register multiple cameras using the same RTSP address and apply different detection scenarios to each.

How to Edit​

  1. Click a camera from the dashboard list → move to the detail page

  2. Click the pencil icon (Edit) in the top-right corner

  3. You can modify the following:

    • Camera name
    • RTSP address
    • Detection scenario
    • Detection targets
    • Alarm channel settings
    • AI inference interval, etc.

  4. Click Save → changes are applied immediately


Webhook Settings​

When a predefined risk situation is detected, EVA sends alerts immediately, enabling rapid response.

EVA supports alert delivery via Webhook integrations with widely used collaboration tools such as Teams and Slack.

  1. Create a Webhook URL: Generate a Webhook URL within your Teams or Slack application. (Refer to each platform’s official documentation for details.)
  2. Register in EVA: Add the generated Webhook URL in EVA’s alert settings. You can register multiple Webhooks to route alerts by role or priority.
  3. Alert Content: Each alert includes:
    • A message describing the detected situation
    • A detailed explanation generated by EVA
    • A related image snapshot

How to Delete​

  1. Click the trash icon (Delete) on the detail page
  2. Select Delete in the confirmation popup
  3. All data related to the camera (analysis history, settings, etc.) is permanently removed
  4. Registration complete! EVA retrieves frames at configured intervals and performs AI analysis.
  5. You can monitor the overall status, including connection health and event counts, in real time on the dashboard.

EVA’s streaming view continuously performs object detection, allowing you to verify in real time whether configured targets are being detected properly. This helps you intuitively validate whether detection targets and sensitivity settings are appropriate.

However, scenario-based reasoning and alert generation are only activated after “Start Monitoring.” Once monitoring begins, the VLM interprets relationships between objects and overall context, going beyond simple detection to generate meaningful situation-based alerts.

Camera Connection Requirements and Address Formats​

EVA natively supports the RTSP protocol, and the following conditions should be met for stable real-time streaming.

Supported Address Formats​

ProtocolExample Address
RTSP (Recommended)rtsp://[user]:[pass]@[IP]:[port]/[path]
RTMPrtmp://[IP]:[port]/[app]/[stream]
HTTPS (MJPEG)https://[IP]/video.mjpg

Required Camera Specifications​

ItemRequirement
Resolution720p or higher recommended (minimum 640x480)
Frame RateAt least 5 fps (linked to AI inference interval)
CodecH.264 / H.265 (limited support for MJPEG)
NetworkStable wired or Wi-Fi (public IP or port forwarding if needed)
AuthenticationID/password can be included in RTSP URL

Connection Tips​

  • Use internal IP within a local network
  • For external access, configure DDNS + port forwarding or VPN
  • Ensure RTSP port (default 554) is open on the firewall

Maximum Number of Cameras​

The maximum number of connectable cameras depends on the hardware specifications of the EVA server (CPU, GPU, RAM, network bandwidth, etc.).

Higher-performance servers can handle more cameras simultaneously and more reliably.
