VMS Event Payload Examples

DHI Safety Operations
Edge AI Architecture
Reviewed by: DHI Engineering

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.
