Domains
Every component in Viseron implements one or more domains. A domain provides a set of capabilities such as object detection and motion detection.
In the following sections you will find a short description of each domain and its general capabilities.
Camera domain
The camera domain is the base of it all.
This is the domain that connects to your camera and fetches frames for processing.
Each camera has a unique camera identifier which flows through the entire configuration.
A camera identifier is a so called slug in programming terms.
A slug is a human-readable unique identifier.
Valid characters are lowercase a-z, 0-9, and underscores ( _ ).

Object Detector domain
The object detector domain scans for objects at requested intervals, sending events on detections for other parts of Viseron to consume.
Object detection can be configured to run all the time so you never miss anything, or only when there is detected motion, saving some resources.
Whatever floats your boat!

Motion Detector domain
The motion detector domain works in a similar way to the object detector. When motion is detected, an event will be emitted and it will, if configured, start the object detector.
The motion detector can be configured to start recordings as well, bypassing the need for an object detector.

NVR domain
The NVR domain is what glues all the other domains together. It handles:
- Fetches frames from the cameras
- Sends them to the detectors
- Starts and stops the recorder
- Sends frames to post processors

Post Processors
Post processors are used when you want to perform some kind of action when a specific object is detected.
In the future more of these post processors will be added along with the ability to create your own custom post processors.
If you have any ideas for a good post processor, please open an issue on GitHub
Face Recognition domain
The face recognition domain is a post processor designed to recognise individuals in images.

Image Classification domain
Image classification labels an entire image with a single label, in contrast to an object detector which labels multiple objects in an image.
Image classifiers generally support more specific detections than an object detector. For instance, an object detector might be trained to detect the label birds, while an image classifier can be trained to detect multiple different species of birds.

License Plate Recognition domain
The license plate recognition domain can detect car license plates and report their text.
