SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users retrieve and understand recorded video analytics without manually searching Elasticsearch, answering questions about incidents, alerts, PPE violations, object counts, occupancy, speeds, and other telemetry.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Incident and Alert Queries: Retrieve recent incidents, inspect detailed event metadata, and filter confirmed violations.
  • Sensor and Location Discovery: Find registered sensor identifiers and configured places for targeted analytics queries.
  • Metric Analysis: Calculate trends such as average occupancy, speed, and field-of-view density over selected time windows.
  • Use Case: Ask which safety violations occurred on a specific camera or how many people were present during a defined period, and the Skill queries the VA-MCP service for the relevant records.

Quick Start

Ask the vss-query-analytics skill to show confirmed PPE violations from a specified camera and time range.

What is needed to calculate average occupancy and speeds from video telemetry?

Calculating average occupancy and speeds from video telemetry requires a running VA-MCP service on port 9901 and an initialized MCP session to execute Elasticsearch-backed metric queries over selected time windows.

How do I find registered sensor identifiers and configured places for video analytics?

You can discover registered sensor identifiers and configured places by querying the VA-MCP service, which returns the location and sensor metadata needed for targeted video analytics searches.

Does this video analytics query tool work without a running VA-MCP service?

No, this Skill requires a running VA-MCP service on port 9901 and an initialized MCP session to execute Elasticsearch-backed tool calls for retrieving video analytics metrics and alerts.
