Predictika · Multi HD video recorder orders

An AI sales agent's video recorder order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a 16 or 32 channel Multi HD video recorder from the iMHDX 3016 and 3032 range, with its cameras, video analytics, hard drives and accessories. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published data sheet and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: iMHDX 3016 and iMHDX 3032 orders: DVR or NVR mode, channels, camera technology and resolution, video analytics, hard drives, Wi-Fi adapter, operating limits. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the Intelbras iMHDX 3016 and iMHDX 3032 recorders, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Channels and mode — in DVR mode the iMHDX 3016 takes 16 BNC channels plus up to 8 additional IP channels (24 in all) and the iMHDX 3032 takes 32 BNC channels; in NVR mode the iMHDX 3016 takes up to 24 IP channels and the iMHDX 3032 up to 32.
  • Cameras — HDCVI, AHD and HDTVI inputs up to 5 MP, analog input without megapixel cameras, IP cameras up to 6 MP.
  • Video analytics — not available in NVR mode or with the additional IP channels; face detection on at most 2 channels and not together with people and vehicle detection or virtual line and fence; people and vehicle detection on up to 16 channels, fewer when virtual line or fence channels are used; the iMHDX 3016 operating mode for line and fence with smart detection is flagged for a person to confirm.
  • Storage, network and room — 1 internal hard drive on the iMHDX 3016 and 2 on the iMHDX 3032, with the drive checked against Intelbras's compatibility list by a person; live view splits (up to 16 views on the iMHDX 3016); the Action A1200 USB wireless adapter; FAT 32 backup devices; up to 128 simultaneous connections and 16 POS channels; 0 to 55 degrees C and 10 to 90 percent humidity.

Any iMHDX 3016 or iMHDX 3032 order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Intelbras does not publish them in the data sheet, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), other Intelbras recorders, camera models, hard drive models and regional terms.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong
Click to expand
    
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Channel limits that depend on the mode and the modelOnly with care
A rule per model and mode, with the additional IP channels as a special case; each combination is another rule to maintain.		Model, mode and channel counts are in one request and the limits are computed and compared together.
Video analytics that exclude each otherOnly with workarounds
Face detection, people and vehicle detection and virtual line interact, and the allowed counts shift with the choice, so it needs cross-line rules that change each other's thresholds.		The analytics channels are compared with each other, with the mode and with the IP channels on every call.
A hard drive count that depends on the modelOnly with care
A dependency rule per model; ordering one drive too many is easy to miss.		The model and the drive count are checked together.
Camera resolution per input typeOnly with care
Each input has its own limit, and someone has to write and maintain them all.		Every limit is computed from the input type and compared with the order on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for a 16 or 32 channel Multi HD video recorder from the iMHDX 3016 and 3032 range. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published data sheet and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote an Intelbras iMHDX 3032 recorder in NVR mode, with 32 IP channels (6 MP), 2 hard drive(s) not on the compatibility list. The order states a capacity of 32 channels. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings and one approval, all in one answer. The data sheet lists the Action A1200 USB wireless adapter for Wi-Fi; another adapter is on the order. USB backup devices must be formatted FAT 32. The installation temperature is 60 degrees C; the recorder operates at 0 to 55 degrees C.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings and one approval in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for a hard drive count that depends on the model, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the Wi-Fi to Action A1200, the USB backup format to FAT32 and the temperature to 35 degrees C.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Not blocked, but held for a person.
    12. 
      
  12. The three blocking findings are cleared; one approval remains for a person: hard drive not confirmed on the compatibility list.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the drive on compatibility list to yes.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    18. 
      
  18. Four problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    19.
