Videotec, the Italian CCTV manufacturer, has video analysis integrated into its ULISSE EVO cameras. The firm says that offers an end-to-end solution for detection of intrusions outdoors, at critical infrastructures, industrial sites and perimeters.
Videotec Analytics is the result of more than ten years of research and design. The ULISSE EVO camera with Videotec Analysis comprises algorithms for PTZ detection and auto-tracking, even in the most adverse external conditions outside, the developers add, giving the operator situational awareness.
An initial configuration will allow ULISSE EVO to detect an object or person present in a sensitive area. Depending on the rules set by the user, an alarm is displayed and auto-tracking activated if an object enters, exits, or appears or stops more than allowed in an area. The detection algorithm is the makers add reliable even in rain, snow, where the camera is affected by vibrations, in low contrast or sudden light changes or shadows, and where small animals or insects are present.
The auto-tracking keeps the target at the centre of the frame through its pan and tilt action and zoom control. This happens even if the target moves and changes direction quickly or if the area being monitored is in unfavourable lighting, such as low contrast, obstructions or sudden light changes, according to the company.
The metadata sent to the VMS (video management software) can be used to frame the target with a bounding box for identification of the subject or it can be used to activate alarms or begin recording. Depending on the rules set by the user, an alarm is displayed and auto-tracking activated if an object enters, exits, or appears or stays longer than a defined time.
Videotec adds that it puts its all-in-one products through hundreds of validation tests. Mechanics, electronics, positioning, networking, software, video analysis algorithms and firmware are developed end-to-end and can integrate with third-party products. Visit www.videotec.com.
