The method includes determining one or more scene description metadata in the scene from the video sequence. The method includes identifying one or more scene object types in the scene based on the one or more scene description metadata. The method includes determining one or more rules based on one or both of the scene description metadata or the scene object types, each rule configured to generate an event based on a detected object following a rule-specific pattern of behavior. The method includes applying the one or more rules to operation of the camera.

Automatic configuration of analytics rules for a camera

Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for configuring profiles for a camera, comprising receiving video from the camera. The implementations further include classifying a first scene of the first video stream. Additionally, the implementations further include determining a first metadata for the first scene. Additionally, the implementations further include selecting a first profile for the camera based on the first metadata, wherein the first profile comprises one or more configuration parameters, wherein values of each of the one or more configuration parameters of the first profile are based on the first metadata. Additionally, the implementations further include configuring the camera with the first profile.
