Cameras with built-in machine learning capabilities

We’ve taken the next step in video security with cameras that incorporate built-in machine learning capabilities. Camera Trainer enables you to tailor built-in Video Analytics to detect the things that matter most to you. The camera retains information on new user-defined objects and situations, or any subsequent changes. It then refers to these new learnings when processing scenes and can be combined with pre-determined alarm rules and object filters for even more accuracy and flexibility.

Camera Trainer substantially improves the level of security for people and property, but also opens up new customized applications and uses. For example, video cameras can be taught to recognize and detect stationary objects or certain situations instead of being triggered by motion alone. With this, video metadata is further enriched since Camera Trainer can deliver data when objects are present, but also once they have been removed, therefore providing more informative data. This can be translated into improved security or efficiencies, new business opportunities, or even new revenue streams. When a video security system can be taught, it supports you in meeting specific security and business intelligence requirements.

Intelligent Video Analytics already offers the ability to detect objects, such as people, cars, bikes and trucks. With Camera Trainer it is possible to go beyond merely the detection of these pre-defined objects. For example, video cameras can be taught to recognize people with a shopping cart.

Another advantage of the new video analytics feature is that it is now feasible to reliably separate those vehicles clustered together in front of traffic lights, regardless of movement. Or how long a vehicle has been parked in a bay. If parking spots are either full or empty. With Camera Trainer, an object no longer needs to move to create a change in a situation, because the camera can be trained to also analyze stationary situations and compare them over different points in time.

Now, imagine the benefits of translating all of this insightful information into instant alerts and business intelligence. You could be optimizing your business processes or improving customer satisfaction, with maximum security awareness for your people and property.

Camera Trainer is available on all Intelligent Video Analytics cameras with firmware version 7.10 or higher. There is a no-charge activation with license needed and setup must be done with Configuration Manager 6.20 or higher. (Download via Bosch Download Area) There is no additional integration effort needed and it’s fully supported by ONVIF.
