Avigilon analytics news

Avigilon today announced the availability of some exciting new developments . Soon to be on the market will be the new HD Dome and HD Bullet cameras with embedded adaptive video analytics technology.

 

The new Avigilon cameras will provide the benefits of adaptive video analytics technology directly to the camera This will allow users to connect directly to the latest version of Avigilon Control Centre software where analytics will be available to enhance the end user experience. The analytics are self-learning based on patterns of movement within the field of view of the HD cameras, these intelligent cameras can then automatically adapt to scene conditions without manual calibration. The outcome is detection where before there was none, reduced false alarms, and enhanced security for the end user.

1 MP, 2 MP and 3 MP resolutions are available. The footage is analysed in full high-definition resolution in order to detect and track objects that may come under suspicion It can be adapted to follow people and vehicles but with far more accurately than ever before. Where would we deploy such a system ? Well, building perimeters, Critical infrastructure, garage four courts, airports military facilities and any other area requiring a high degree of protection of high value assets. Footfall and business data can also be easily gathered to make operations more profitable.

Above is the Rialto unit that can be retro fitted to existing camera systems that may also require analytics. It has evolved using video IQ technology that was bought into the Avigilon portfolio when the two companies merged together their technologies.

So Avigilon continue to push the boundaries in order to increase their dominance of the HD market place with innovative software and high quality imagery and now analytics.

CCTV analytics perimeter security solution. It WORKS!

CCTV video analytics.

Video analytics has been a technology that has been talked about for a long time but at last it has  now finally arrived in a format that works reliably and achieves the results that will make customers keen to upgrade their legacy CCTV systems.

CCTV Alarms.

Used to alert the end user of an unusual event or an intrusion into a protected area it helps to give security managers a better insight to events and alarms occurring on their site. There are many types of events that can be raised to his attention and these include.

People counting

Speed monitoring

Facial detection

Loitering

Perimeter protection

Fall detection

Queue length monitoring

Panic alarm

Object abandonment.

And more to boot.

Advanced CCTV software.

Video analytics works by using advanced software to detect in real time changes within the view of the camera, far more advanced than motion detection, all analogue cameras currently in use in the UK can be converted to use this technology. It’s a simple process just install a unit called a codec. The codec is attached to the camera and behind the scenes converts all the video into a format that analyses events and through a set of clean contacts an alarm can be raised in a variety of different ways.

IP CCTV codec.

The codec is an IP device and is programmed through a laptop or if connected to a network it can be remotely administered. Xtralis, Bosch and March Networks all produce units that excel in video analytics.

CCTV Airport!

Examples of where analytics can be used to great effect include ports and airports combating threats of terrorism especially identifying abandoned objects, Protecting classic art using analytics means museums can also benefit from this feature.

CCTV perimeter protection.

Perimeter protection is another area that has seen far better security thanks to trip wire features and the ability to detect movement in a certain direction. Integrating analytics with FLIR thermal imaging cameras is an excellent example of how a sensitive area during hours of total darkness can suddenly be secured where before this would have been impossible.

Codecs.

Setting up the codec’s is a relatively simple task. Perspective is important to ensure only the objects or human movements are detected and things such as wildlife are totally ignored. A great advance for the industry analytics are now being incorporated directly into the heads of cameras and the Predator camera from 360 vision is the first 360 dome camera that can deal with analytics while on a tour something of a dream for security guards who are tasked with monitoring large establishments or estates.

CCTV investment.

As the investment goes heavily into this technology from the big manufactures we see the number of applications increasing and soon analytics will be commonplace in many businesses across the UK
