Who this is for
For VMS admins and developers mapping safety events into operator workflows.
The buyer question
What fields should a safety AI event include?
Core fields
A useful payload should include event id, event type, camera id, zone id, timestamp, confidence, severity, clip reference, and recommended action.
Review fields
Add acknowledgement status, reviewer, disposition, false-positive category, and notes so the pilot can learn from each event.
Privacy fields
Separate metadata from clip access. Some workflows need an event without exporting video outside the VMS.
How to use this with DHI
Use this page as a pre-pilot checklist. Pick one zone, one event type, one alert owner, and one review cadence. If the current cameras cannot support the workflow, fix the camera plan before expanding the deployment.
