How to configure Access Control from QL Manager (Navori CMS)
Important Information:
1. For the moment, Navori playback of Access Control-based triggered media and feeds is available on Windows and Android ONLY.
2. You may add additional Access Control cameras to the same group and they will all share the same Access Control feed.
3. Access control feed and group settings will only become available after the activation of a player with the Access Control add-on in its license.
Step 1 - Setup Maximum Occupancy
1. Double click on the group containing the Players, eg: NA Access Control. You will be prompted to enter the Maximum Occupancy allowed in the premise.
Note: You may offset the number of employees into the maximum occupancy if they enter through an unmonitored entrance.
Number of People / RESET:
The number of people can be modified for certain scenarios such as:
-Employees entering from an unmonitored back door
-One of your cameras has stopped or is under maintenance.
If you modify the number of people and press RESET(saves the change), the change will reset the number of people in the feed to the new value entered and continue the count from there, the change will be reflected immediately in the Access Control feed and player.
Step 2 - Where to access the Access Control Feed?
1.The *AccessControl feed can be accessed through;
Template Designer > DATA FEED MANAGER or,
Any media via PLAY IF / CONDITIONAL TRIGGERING DATA FEED MANAGER
EG: In this example, we have created a Template that uses the RemainingPlaces column from the *AccessControl feed. The data will be updated live.
Step 3 - Ways to Utilize the *AccessControl feed.
You may use the *AccessControl feed in various different ways such as scenario-based playback using the Navori PLAY IF or CONDITIONAL TRIGGERING feature.
PLAY IF
(Media or Template with rule-based condition(s) added into a playlist and scheduling grid)
CONDITIONAL TRIGGERING
(Media or Template added to the Published Trigger Folder, overrides the existing playlist if the condition(s) are met and returns to playback when conditions are no longer met)
