This Application Note is intended for Eagle Eye Cloud VMS account administrators that are responsible for the initial setup and configuration of the VMS and want to better understand best practices when it comes to naming conventions within the VMS.

 

Camera and Account naming conventions are an important tool for clearly organizing your VMS accounts and providing great service to customers.  A well-designed naming convention approach simplifies the use and management of the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS, making it easier for your customers to take advantage of the system and avoid confusion. 


This Application Note is intended to provide you with best practices for naming conventions of Accounts, Bridges, Cameras, and Tags within the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS.


Camera naming best practices begin with the End User account creation. An End User account should be named after the entity using the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS.  It's best to use the full legal name of this entity. If the customer has a DBA, it's best to put this in the account name as well.


Bridge naming conventions should follow the same model as Camera naming conventions (see section below) with the exception of ‘Field of View’ and ‘Scene’. Best practices for Bridge naming conventions include the Site ID or Account Name, geographic location when applicable, and the physical location. Including the Bridge Model or Serial Number for quick reference is also a good idea as these might be needed when working with Technical Support.
