The ‘brains’ of your security system

To help you address a wide variety of security challenges, Video Analytics comes with a broad range of features. Standard alarm rules and tasks can detect according to a wide range of criteria from objects within, entering, or leaving an area to those crossing a route or loitering. Video analytics can also recognize changes in speed (running), shape (crouching) or aspect ratio (falling), as well as objects that move in the wrong direction or contrary to the motion of others. And because all features are embedded in our firmware, you will be able to take advantage of any Video Analytics technologies that are implemented in any future versions.

Essential Video Analytics is the ideal analytics solution for small and medium businesses, large retail stores, commercial buildings, warehouses and logistics depots. It can be used for advanced intrusion detection (such as loitering alarms and identifying a person or object entering a pre-defined field), enforcing health and safety regulations such as no-parking zones, detecting blocked emergency exits or objects that have been left behind, and analyzing behavior in retail environments.

The right choice for mission critical applications is Intelligent Video Analytics which is offered as of the IP 7000 series. It gives the unique ability to perform video content analysis over large distances. What makes it stand out from other Video Analytics technologies is the ability to differentiate between genuine security events and false triggers such as snow, wind (moving trees), rain, hail and water reflections that can make video data more difficult to interpret.

Easier to manage data

Video analytics makes managing data far easier. You can decide which information to stream, such as only streaming video when there is a moving object, or an alarm is triggered. This significantly reduces network strain and storage requirements. Technologies that make use of Video Analytics to increase the bitrate are Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction, it reduces image noise before encoding, and intelligent streaming, this technology achieves the most efficient bitrate by adjusting the encoder setting based on the level of movement.

Scalable and more robust

Intelligence at the edge also can make your surveillance infrastructure more robust and reliable. Every smart camera operates independently so there’s no need for a central analytics server. Decentralizing intelligence in this way means that a system can easily be scaled by adding more cameras, but also, if one camera fails, the rest of the system will maintain full performance.
