Hanwha Vision, the video surveillance product manufacturer, and Immix, the video and event-based monitoring software firm, report an integration that supports AI analytics in video surveillance for Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs).
By using AI analytics in-camera, ARC operators can receive fewer false alarms as surveillance systems alert them only to genuine events and ignore irrelevant motion, for example wildlife, flags and swaying trees, the firms say. As for operator efficiency, an ARC receives more detailed information about an event to assist them with decision-making. As for the installers, the AI is available within the camera devices, or โat the edgeโ. The integration supports a range of video analytics: face and audio detection, tampering alerts, object detection (people and vehicles) besides virtual line-crossing and loitering detection.
Forensic search is enabled via the metadata generated by the AI, for emergency response and investigation after an event. Network Video Recorder (NVR) play-back means operators can review pre and post-event footage. As the Immix platform connects various systems such as video surveillance, intrusion, fire alarms and access control into a single interface, alarms can be streamlined, the companies add.
Two-way audio and relay control is now available for operators to use, for example to deter intruders spotted at perimeters, and to offer added services such as entry management. Camera communication means devices can communicate with ARC software, to support rapid deployment cameras that require a remote connection.
John Lutz Boorman, Head of Product and Marketing at Hanwha Vision Europe, said: โHanwha Vision and Immix are committed to meeting the evolving needs of customers and mitigating the changing risk landscape. Our latest integration makes it easier than ever for control rooms and operators to access cutting-edge AI in video surveillance that improves responses, reduces false alarms, and optimises resources.โ
And Immix CEO Chris Brown said: โImmix is very excited to announce yet another product integration with Hanwha Vision. Hanwha Vision has been a very strong and trusted partner for many years now and Immix is pleased to be able to offer our customers a vast array of solutions from their portfolio that can enable new managed security services and foster growth opportunities for the industry as a whole. Immix prides itself in giving our customers as many choices as possible.”
