4. Deploy pre-built analytics

This section shows you how to deploy pre-built analytics templates. If you are looking to tweak or build your own analytics, you'll want to first get familiar with Pipeline and Getting Started Guide for Developers.

With a Gateway and Cameras configured, next you can start deploying analytics.

Follow the steps outlined in the Deployments to select and deploy pre-built analytics templates.

Pre-built analytics templates are broadly organized with the following attributes:

Attribute	How to identify	Typical Options
Use case	Title of the pre-built analytic	Various
Integrations	Title and description.	Dashboard : Will push data to Lumeo Cloud Dashboard Search : Will push recordings to Lumeo Cloud Email : Will send an email when a specific event happens VMS : Will push alarm or event to one or more VMS If you need an integration other than these typical options, it requires these pre-built templates to be customized using the Pipeline editor. You can do so yourself or reach out to Lumeo support for help.
Data generated	Description	Type of events & data generated by the analytic. If the analytic integrates with Dashboard, you can filter by these Events in the Dashboards. If it integrates with Search, you can Search recordings using this data.

View pre-built analytics templates under Design -> Solutions

Pick the appropriate pre-built analytics template under Deploy -> Quick Deploy

5. Configure Dashboards

If you deployed a Dashboard-enabled analytic, see Dashboards guide to setup Dashboards.

You will want to note compatible templates when deploying the pre-built analytics so you can select the appropriate Dashboard template after you are done deploying the analytics.

6. Setup Search

If you deployed a Search-enabled analytic, and your plan has a Cloud retention add-on, you can Search for recordings using the Search capability.
