Video Analytics

Security camera systems don’t have eyes and brains – but intelligent video analytics are the next best thing. Through constant automated digital screening and filtering, video analytics can identify specific conditions and notify operators of potential issues, allowing security officials to make quick, informed decisions.

Pelco analytics packages are included with Spectra HD systems, Sarix IP Series Cameras (EP models) and NET5400 Series Encoders. Pelco analytics are compatible with the Endura IP Video Management System and provide the following analytic behaviors.

When motion is detected in a specific direction, an alarm is triggered to notify security personnel. Users have wide flexibility in defining areas of interest and activity thresholds to minimize false alarms. It’s ideal to identify people walking against the normal flow in airports, cars taking an abnormal path in traffic settings or parking lots and an array of other security scenes.

This advanced motion detection behavior calibrates to scene conditions, allowing the system to distinguish targets from other movement in a scene, such as headlight glare, blowing leaves, a flag flying or snow falling. It’s ideal for identifying people and vehicles in parking lots and perimeter detection with such outdoor conditions. Adaptive Motion reduces false alarms due to environmental conditions.

This behavior reduces video shake in applications where cameras are subject to vibration. It’s ideal for manufacturing facilities, bridges, overpasses, cameras with long focal lengths, pole-mounted cameras and an array of other applications.

An alarm triggers when a stationary object, such as a priceless piece of art, is removed from a selected scene. This behavior allows the user to define an object or area of interest in a scene. Motion is allowed in the protected zone, but if an object is removed, an alarm is triggered. It’s ideal for museums, high-end retail and similar asset protection missions.

This behavior counts objects when motion is detected in a specific direction. Users have wide flexibility in defining areas of interest and activity thresholds. An alarm is generated when the threshold is exceeded. It’s ideal for counting cars on a roadway, counting products at a manufacturing plant, counting people entering/exiting a building and similar applications.

This advanced video loss detection recognizes when video has been compromised. For example, if a vandal paints or covers a lens, or reaches to move a fixed camera away from an intended scene, an alarm is triggered. It’s ideal for an array of high-security environments.

An alarm triggers when a stationary object appears and remains in a scene, such as a person setting down a briefcase or duffel bag. This behavior allows the user to define an object or area of interest in a scene. Motion is allowed in the protected zone. It’s ideal for malls, campuses, transportation hubs and more.

When people or vehicles remain in a defined zone longer than the user-defined time allows, an alarm notifies security personnel. This behavior is effective in real-time notification of suspicious behavior around ATMs, stairwells and school grounds.

Vehicles stopped near a sensitive area longer than the user-defined time allows are detected. This behavior is ideal for airport curbside drop-offs, parking enforcement, suspicious parking, traffic lane breakdowns and vehicles waiting at gates.

Unlike other analytics behaviors that function on a fixed camera, this behavior, currently available at no extra cost in Spectra HD cameras, has pan/tilt/zoom capability to track vehicles or humans entering or stopping in user-defined zones. Once identified, the camera locks on and follows the subject’s path. This analytic is ideal for building perimeters.
