Before you can monitor the restricted areas secured by your Quanergy
lidar system in Security Center, you must add each Quanergy
QORTEX server as a tracking system in Config Tool.
If you are using the Inter-System Gateway (IS Gateway), you must first add your QORTEX server to a driver container
in the IS Gateway, and then add the driver
container as a tracking system in Config Tool.
What you should know
WARNING: If you move a lidar on the map in the Config Tool
Map designer task, the targets are detected incorrectly. To
reposition a lidar on the map, set the coordinates from the Quanergy tracking
system's Properties page.
Procedure
To add your Quanergy
QORTEX server as a tracking system to Security Center with the IS Gateway:
-
Log on to the IS Gateway web portal:
-
Open a web browser and enter the URL
https://<GatewayServer>:4242.
<GatewayServer> is the name or IP address of the server
hosting the IS Gateway service. The default port is
4242. Use the port you configured at installation.
-
Accept the security certificate.
-
On the logon page, enter the
Username and Password and click
Sign in.
The username and password were assigned during the
Inter-System Gateway Configuration step of the IS Gateway service installation.
-
Add a driver container for the tracking system that
you want to add to Security Center:
-
On the homepage of the IS Gateway, click the Container
(
) tab.
-
Click the
button besides the docker
engine label, and then click Add driver container.
-
In the Add Driver Container
window that opens, enter the following information:
- Driver
- Select the driver that you want to install.
- Version
- Select the driver version that you want. The latest version is selected by
default.
- Label
- Label used to identify this driver container in the list of containers on the
left.
- Port
- Port used to communicate with the driver.
- Network adapter
- Select the network adapter used by the driver to communicate with the IS Gateway service.
- Show advanced
- Some drivers require other communication ports to be open. If necessary, click
here to add those ports.
-
Click Add.
The IS Gateway immediately downloads the required driver
container image from the repository. A notification is shown in the upper right corner
of the browser page during the download
process.
After the download completes, the new driver container is
displayed in the list of containers on the left, under the selected docker
engine.
-
Start the driver container. To do so, click the
button beside the driver
container label and click Start.
NOTE:
If you are adding multiple driver
containers, make sure that each driver container has a unique port
number. This will prevent any port conflicts if multiple driver
containers are running at the same time.
-
Select the driver container corresponding to the
tracking system that you want to add to Security Center.
-
In the Communication
section, click Add (
).
-
In the Add/Edit device window
that opens, enter the following information:
- Name
- Enter a unique name for this device.
- Model
- Select M8 series QORTEX Sensor.
- IP Address
- The IP address of the Quanergy QORTEX server.
- Latitude and Longitude
- Enter the coordinates of the device. Coordinates are in decimal
degrees using the World Geodetic System (WGS84) format. You can use a web site like
https://www.latlong.net/ to find the
coordinates of a specific civic address.
- Elevation
- Height of the device from the ground, in meters.
- Bearing
- If the device has a field of view, identify the physical orientation of the device
using compass points. For example: If the device's field of view points towards true
North, set the orientation to 0 degrees. You can use a compass to find the degrees.
-
Click OK.
The Quanergy device is listed under
Devices in the Communication
section.
-
In the Events section under M8 series QORTEX
Sensor Events, turn on the custom events that you want to monitor
for this tracking system.
-
Click Save.
-

-
In the Name field, enter a name for your
tracking system.
-
From the Model drop-down, select the
driver container you are adding and click Next (
).
-
If applicable, configure the specific settings for
your driver and click Next (
).
-
If applicable, import the map from the third-party application and
click Finish.
-
Open the Area view task.
After a few seconds, your tracking system (

) should be added to the
area view.
To add your Quanergy
QORTEX server as a tracking system to Security Center without the IS Gateway:
-
From the Config Tool homepage,
open the Area view task.

- The model of device that is supported by the RSA Surveillance plugin.
-
On the
Communication page, enter the following
information:
- IP address

QORTEX server.
-
Click Refresh connection status (
) to connect.
-
When the connection status turns
Online (
), click
Next page (
).
-
On the Specific configuration page, set the coordinates of
the main lidar of your QORTEX server:
- Latitude and Longitude
- Enter the coordinates of the device. Coordinates are in decimal
degrees using the World Geodetic System (WGS84) format. You can use a web site like
https://www.latlong.net/ to find the
coordinates of a specific civic address.
- With map
- To set the device's position using a map, select With
map. In the Map list, choose a georeferenced map.
From the map, zoom in and out as needed using the map controls. Click the map to place
