Intelligent video monitoring software utilizing the highest levels of available technology and providing best performance to suit any requirement.
Video Content Analytics
OVERVIEW
Digifort VCA is able to accurately capture data to help a diverse range of businesses and organisations achieve a greater understanding of the behaviour of people who work or visit their premises. The software can detect movement within very small areas of a video image and can therefore provide operators with a powerful ‘exception’ reporting tool to help them identify suspicious activity and when appropriate, to despatch security guards or quickly report the incident to one of the emergency services. The ability to do this is significant in that it is widely acknowledged that operators can miss important events after monitoring video for more than 30 minutes or so, and the possibility of this happening is increased when individual operators are tasked to view multiple screens.
Digifort VCA is a real-time video analytics engine that utilizes advanced image processing algorithms to turn video into actionable intelligence. At the core of the product is an advanced object tracking engine that continually tracks moving and stationary targets. The tracking engine features built-in robustness to environmental nuisance conditions such as changing illumination, moving foliage, rippling water, etc.
FEATURES
MAJOR BENEFITS
Digifort VCA is constantly analyzing programmed behavioral situations, it generates alarms according to events that are occurring at the time of operation, for example: a car exceeding a speed limit, a person entering a property, a car parked or stopped in a restricted area, an abandoned object, an object removed or even to alert about suspicious movement of people. Generates statistical reports and graphs for all events in the system such as counting objects and people, abandoned objects and face detection among others. It has several advantages such as: advanced algorithm for detection and tracking of objects, easy configuration and operation, efficient and uncomplicated solution.
This module due to its high processing requirement needs its own server, which can process up to 30 cameras utilizing analytics.
- Unique, easy to use, patented 3D calibration suitable for overhead and side-viewing cameras, calibration in metric or imperial units.
- On-screen display of object classification, speed, area and height.
- Speed filter with upper and lower speed thresholds.
- Filter on object class. For example people, group of people , vehicle, clutter, etc.
- Filter out small animals, birds, and blowing trash by excluding object in the clutter category.
- Object classes can be changed by the user
- Combined filter using object class and one other filter.
- Includes full forensic metadata stream in XML format for customer use.
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA
Digifort VCA works on Thermal imaging cameras for security, fire prevention and temperature monitoring applications. A high proportion of incidents happen in low light conditions. It is therefore important that a detection system is capable of operating equally well both during the day and what could be total darkness.
Intelligent Thermal IP bullet cameras are equipped with the VCA video analytics engine and as such, offer a single device solution providing intrusion detection and alarm verification day or night, whatever the lighting conditions. Designed to detect objects and
people that might otherwise be impossible with traditional video surveillance cameras in environmental conditions such as through smoke, snow, heavy rain and fog, they are also ideal for projects where it is not possible to install supplementary lighting, or where there are concerns about light pollution
Digifort VCA also supports temperature monitoring application. It can be configured to detect potential faults in, for example, cold stores and freezers, as well as detect the danger of fire due to plant or machinery overheating. .
iLIDS CLASSIFICATION
The Image Library for Intelligent Detection Systems (i-LIDS) is the government’s benchmark for Video Analytics systems. It has been developed by the Centre for Applied Science and Technology in partnership with
the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure.
i-LIDS comprises a library of CCTV video footage based around ‘scenarios’ central to the government’s requirements. The footage accurately represents real operating conditions and potential threats.
VCA Technology Video Analytics has been independently tested against the UK Home Office i-LIDS image library for sterile zone environments.
