ADVANCED SEARCH (DS DataPoint)
DS DataPoint is an application integrated with DS ControlPoint that allows you to receive and analyze transactional data (TD), such as video
analytics, and information from devices, such as cash registers and ATMs.
NOTE: To use DS DataPoint, you must be connected to a DVMS with DS DataPoint software installed. When you add the system using
DS ControlPoint, you must select the DS DataPoint Server check box (refer to Figure 10 on page 16). All systems identified as DS DataPoint
Servers contain a DS DataPoint icon in the DP column of the Connection Management page.
To run an advanced search, complete the following steps:
1. Click the Search icon, and then click the Advanced Search button. This opens the Advanced Search Setup window (refer to Figure 42).
The Advanced Search tab allows you to search for data and video from integrated devices or video analytics events.

desired camera.
2. Drag a data channel from the navigation pane into the output window. This opens a tab related to the type of data channel selected:
