Video Source Management

VisionSense Edge provides three major application services: People Vision, Object Vision, and Face Vision. Its video source configuration page adopts a shared pool concept, where all IP cameras and WebCams added to VisionSense Edge can be accessed by these three application services.

Based on this, when the ‘Allowed Number of Added Video Sources’ in the license is greater than one, if the video source is an IP camera, it can be used by multiple applications simultaneously. However, there is one exception: if the video source is a webcam, it can only be used by one application at a time.
