Deployment Quick Start

This guide serves as a reference for deployment teams to setup Lumeo, onboard Gateways and Cameras, deploy analytics and setup Dashboards & Search.

Follow the steps below to get up and running with Lumeo.

For customers with a Site-setup Add-on or Premium Support Add-on, first complete Steps 1 & 2, and then please reach out to Lumeo support via Help button in Console to have us take on the remaining steps.

Checklist

  • Activate the plan or license codes
  • Onboard the gateway
  • Onboard the camera(s)
  • Deploy analytics
  • (optional) Configure Lumeo Dashboards
  • (optional) Setup Lumeo Search

1. Setup your Lumeo account

Start by creating or getting access to your Lumeo account. We recommend setting up your account in advance of any field installation since Core or Enterprise plan activations may take upto 1 business day.

To ..Do this ..

2. Onboard Gateways

A Lumeo Gateway is a device (server, embedded AI box or cloud instance) that processes the video. Setup a new Gateway using the instructions below depending on your gateway type.

3. Onboard Cameras / Streams

With a Gateway configured, next setup your cameras & streams.

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:

AttributeHow to identifyTypical Options
Use caseTitle of the pre-built analyticVarious
IntegrationsTitle 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 generatedDescription 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.

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.
