NVIDIA-AI-Blueprints.

alerts

Manage and monitor VSS alerts after the alerts profile is deployed. The deployment's mode (CV vs VLM real-time) is fixed at deploy time and determines the workflow — start/stop real-time alerts via the VSS Agent on a VLM deployment, onboard CV alerts by adding RTSP streams to VIOS on a CV deployment, query incidents, customize verifier prompts. Use when asked to start/stop a real-time alert, check or list alerts, add a camera, use a sample video for alerts, customize alert prompts, or view verdicts.

video-analytics

Query video analytics data and metrics from Elastic search via the VA-MCP server (port 9901). This includes incidents, alerts, sensor data, and metrics. Use for any question about violations, alerts, incidents, object counts, speeds, occupancy, or anything that requires looking up recorded events. This is the primary way to answer a question that requires incidents, alerts and other metrics such as people counts and violations.

video-search

Search video archives using natural language — find events, objects, actions, and people across recorded video using fusion search (Cosmos Embed1 semantic search + CV attribute search). Use when asked to search for something in video, find actions and events, locate objects and people, or query video archives. For these types of questions, default to this top-level fusion search unless user specifies otherwise. Requires the search profile to be deployed.

video-summarization

Summarize a video by calling the VLM NIM or the Long Video Summarization (LVS) microservice directly. For short videos (under 60s) call the VLM's OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint; for long videos (60s or longer) call the LVS microservice. Use when asked to summarize a video, describe what happens in a video, analyze a recording, call or debug LVS summarize/model/health/recommended-config/metrics endpoints, or configure and troubleshoot the LVS service that backs long-video summarization.

video-understanding

Call the vss agent to run video understanding on video to answer a text question. Use when the user asks about video content, or about visual details that cannot be answered from conversation history, search hits, or metadata alone.

Query VIOS REST APIs: sensor list, recording timelines, video clip extraction, snapshot capture, add/delete sensors and streams

vss-frag

Generate video summary reports using the VSS video_search_frag extension with Long Video Summarization (LVS), Enterprise RAG knowledge retrieval, and human-in-the-loop parameter collection. Use when: user wants to generate a video summary, report, or analysis using the frag pipeline.
