MQTT broker
Analytiks computes metrics from the output of the computer vision model that runs on cameras.
We do not process video directly. For the solution to work, you need to configure cameras with our MQTT broker.
The MQTT broker can be configured either with or without encryption. The choice is up to you, but in any case, no personal indentifiable information is ever transmitted. We’re only receiving randomly generated IDs for the people detected as well as coordinates and timestamps.
Also note that IDs aren’t uniquely assigned to people: if the same person comes to the same place on two different days, they will be assigned different IDs.
Adding a broker
To add a broker, go to:
- Cameras

Save your settings
Don’t forget to save when you’re done or what you just did will have no affect:
