Users can store and execute VIVOTEK's or 3rd-party software modules onto the camera's
flash memory or SD card. These software modules can apply in video analysis for intelligent
video applications such as license plate recognition, object counting, or as an agent for edge
recording, etc.
•
Once the software package is successfully uploaded, the module configuration (vadp.xml)
information is displayed. When uploading a module, the camera will examine whether the
module fits the predefined VADP requirements. Please contact our technical support or the
vendor of your 3rd-party module for the parameters contained within.
• Users can also run VIVOTEK's VADP packages as a means to access updated functionality
instead of replacing the entire firmware.
•
Note that for some cameras the flash is too small to hold VADP packages. These cameras
will have its "Save to SD card" checkbox selected and grayed-out for all time.
•
The file system of SD card (FAT32) does not support soft (symbolic) link. It will return failure
if your module tries to create soft links on SD card.
