Our Ultra HD IP Cameras are highly intelligent and some of the best available on the market. The cameras have a range of features that are really useful to you or your business by keeping you, your staff, and your company, safe. Video analytics can transform standard CCTV systems into intelligent and effective detection and alert systems. CCTV technology integrated with CCTV video analytics and general recognition software systems is capable of monitoring intrusion, missing/abandoned objects, tripwire, perimeter detection and changes in your CCTV.
This feature can be used to detect when an item has been removed from a certain area that has been set up on the camera. There are many applications for object removal such as car forecourts, museums, auction houses and galleries etc. To use, you draw an area on the screen to cover the item that you are concerned about. From that, you can set the system up to both alert your mobile phone when the item is taken, and to record when the item is taken.
This feature is similar to Object Removal but is used to detect when an item has been left in a certain area that has been set up on the camera. This feature is ideal for fire escapes, walkways, and car parking spaces and does not enter zones etc. To use this feature, you draw an area on the screen to cover the area that you are concerned about. From that, you can set the system up to both alert your mobile phone when an item/person is in the area and to record when the item/person is in the area.
This feature can detect the change of environment affected by external factors, the blur and the cast of the surveillance images, meaning particular actions can be taken when the alarm is triggered. This feature detects the exception of the image in the whole surveillance scene, including six kinds of exception events — low light, excessive brightness, low definition, colour cast, interference and scene change. This feature is used in situations where the camera has been unwittingly adjusted. For example; If the camera has been forced out of position, had the lens damaged or a large object blocking the view. These exceptions allow you to act on any abnormalities straight away as opposed to having a camera out of action until somebody notices. This feature will trigger both an alert to the phone, and to record when triggered.
This feature serves two purposes, the first one we will cover is the tripwire feature. The tripwire can be set by drawing a tripwire line A->B, A<-B, A<->B.
Places best suited for this are entrances to factories, driveways, reception areas and weight bridges etc. This feature will trigger an alert to the phone and can also be set to record when triggered.
The second way this feature can be used is as perimeter detection. To apply this, you connect the tripwires on the image together with a maximum of 4 tripwires and set the feature to A<->B on each tripwire. Following this procedure will give you complete perimeter protection, meaning no need for beams wired to an alarm. This feature will trigger an alert to the phone and can also be set to record when triggered.
This feature is very similar to motion detection in that you can select an area which you believe could be sensitive to intrusion, but instead of just selecting blocks on the screen, you can simplify this by specifically choosing up to 4 intrusion zones by linking 5 dots to each other to create a zone. Ideal places to use this would be in any open space area such as a yard, farm, factory floor and stadium. This feature will trigger an alert to the phone and can also be set to record when triggered.
