Azena has announced new integrations for its open platform for smart cameras, as tools for device management for system integrators. The integrators using the Azena platform and the AI-enabled video analytics from the Azena Application Store, have control over groups of devices, apps and configurations running on their customers’ smart cameras with the Azena Operating System.
An integrator can configure and deploy smart cameras using analytics – which produce unique events – into a customer’s video surveillance system. Metadata from these analytics, such as weapons detection, tank level monitoring or flood detection, are automatically converted into events for video management software platforms from Milestone, Genetec and Network Optics. This supports integrators in creating vertical and customer-specific, end-to-end solutions that use video analytics data, says Azena, an offshoot of Bosch.
Madhav Varma, Vice President, Product for Azena said: “Systems integrators are tasked with providing highly customised solutions to their unique client base and, with our platform, apps from our store, and integration tools they can build these specialised solutions – everything from oil flare monitoring in the energy sector to patient fall detection in healthcare facilities. These improvements to our platform will streamline the deployment and management of these solutions for integrators, saving time, labour costs and costly truck rolls.”
More than 100 unique apps are available in the Azena Application Store; integrators can select one or more, or develop and upload their own apps that can be visible and sold only to their customers.
Options for deployment and maintenance range from fully remote connections to new support for installations that run on a closed network, such as critical infrastructure installations or remote sites with little to no internet connectivity. With new project management features, integrators can assign app licenses to specific customers or projects. Camera installations can be more segmented by customer, project and location, and access rights for specific users can be assigned and managed based on projects.
