Merging

Merging pairs objects across Scans (for example multi-camera journeys or license-plate matches). Completed merges feed Merged scans mode in Reports. Use this only for those multi-scan scenarios — everyday reporting uses a single completed scan.

Merging list

Who uses this

  • Engineers and System admins with Merging access.
  • Viewers can open Merging in read-only mode.

Before you begin

  • At least two suitable COMPLETED scans (merge type rules apply).
  • Required pipeline modules and license features for the merge type (for example multicam track or ANPR).

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
Validation: need two scans Select at least two distinct completed scans
Merge failed Check status message, required modules/license, and scan completion
No pairs in report list Confirm merger is Completed; unpaired rows may be omitted from the pair list while totals still count all merge results
Cannot find merge Use Search on the list
