Axis Intelligent Video Intelligence where you need it

The challenge >Video surveillance is a booming business, and installations become larger and larger >Studies from Sandia N. Lab, US, concluded that personnel can only watch one monitor for 20 minutes before losing focus >So why do we expect a high attention span for hours on multiple monitors? >And how do we turn video surveillance from a reactive tool to a pro-active instrument?

The solution – Intelligent Video >“Intelligent video is a collection of technical solutions that makes it possible for systems and people to efficiently cope with large amount of video data.”

Some capabilities of Intelligent Video >Automatically analyzes and tags surveillance video in real-time >Detects suspicious activities >Initiates video recording, alarms or other actions >Alerts operators or field personnel

Main benefits of Intelligent Video >Available 24/7/365 –Relieves burden from operators –Information when you need it –Minimizes human errors >Creates new business possibilities –Store optimization in retail, cue management in transportation, etc. >Enables users to be proactive –Preventing crime rather than reacting after the fact >Lowers the total cost –More efficient use of staff –Reduced network load and storage needs –Faster return-on-investment

Example – Video Motion Detection >Why record hours of video where nothing happens? >With Intelligent Video, the system will only record when there’s motion in the scenery

Example – Active Tampering Alarm >If somebody has redirected or painted your camera, how will you know? >With Intelligent Video, the system will tell you

Example – Auto-tracking >How do you ensure enough image detail of activities even when monitoring large areas? >With Intelligent Video, the camera will automatically zoom in and follow moving persons or vehicles

Example – People counting >Want to know the number of visitors to your store? >With Intelligent Video, the camera can do the counting for you

Example – Real estate protection >How can you know when someone is approaching? >With Intelligent Video, a “digital fence” can be set up that sends an alert when security is breached
