Retail Search - GE Security DVMRe Pro User Manual

5.4 Retail Search

The local retail search feature is provided for customers who wish to search video for specific products
from the front panel of the DVMRe Pro. The customer can select from predefined product names from
predefined categories. To use this feature you must create a text file containing the categories (product
types) and product names (sub levels) that you want to search. This file is then uploaded to the DVMRe
Pro via the web interface.
Text File Format
To create a retail search text file open Notepad or any other simple text editor. The file must be saved as
a text only file. The meta-character # is used in this text file to identify a category. All strings below a
category are interpreted as sub levels of that category until another category appears. The creator of the
retail text file is responsible to put the categories and sub levels into correct order. The DVMRe Pro will
not sort the strings. A category has to have at least one sub level. The customer has to store this file as a
.txt file named retail_search.txt.
Example:
#Ice_Cream
Vanilla
Chocolate_Chip
#Soda
Vanilla
Root_Beer
Orange
#Beer
Draft
Light
Extra_Light
Uploading/Downloading the retail_search .txt File
The retail search text file can be uploaded to the DVMRe Pro unit via the Web interface. The index.ssi
page will contain a link to the retail search page. Open the embedded web browser by typing the DVMRe
Pro's IP address/index.ssi in the address field of your Internet browser.
