Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA)

Developed for mission critical applications, this advanced video content analysis technology offers long-distance intrusion detection in extreme weather conditions. It is highly resilient to false alarm triggers by intelligently adapting to difficult conditions, including snow, wind, rain, hail, and water reflections. Additionally, it is designed to operate effectively in vibration-prone areas, such as on bridges.

IVA Pro Buildings, based on deep learning, is ideal for advanced intrusion detection in and around buildings. Its algorithms are trained with real-life data, enabling IVA Pro Buildings to differentiate between actual security events and known false triggers, such as rain, snow, blowing leaves, lighting changes, or a shaking camera. IVA Pro Buildings provides reliable alerts for line crossing and loitering, and person and vehicle detection, enabling security operators to spend time on AI-validated alerts, increasing efficiency and reducing operational costs. Facility managers or security operators can also use IVA Pro Buildings for high-performance people counting to maintain a safe occupancy level. No calibration is needed for people or vehicle detection, offering plug-and-play simplicity.

IVA Pro Perimeter layers multiple technologies to enhance detection while minimizing false positives. The software provides early and reliable detection of intruders alongside perimeters of buildings, energy facilities, and airports, at long distances and in challenging environmental and lighting conditions. It can detect rolling, crawling, or camouflaged intruders, enabling operators to secure sensitive areas. Additionally, it enhances situational awareness with object geolocation, speed, and size and offers easy setup with Person-based Autocalibration.

IVA Pro Traffic is a powerful software that uses deep neural networks to provide highly accurate real-time data, providing valuable insights into traffic patterns and historical trends. With its exceptional accuracy and user-friendly interface, IVA Pro Traffic helps create safer, more efficient, and sustainable urban environments. It’s industry-proven to deliver the highest accuracy levels, thanks to on-board IVA Task engine: 95%+ for real-time event detection and aggregation of valuable data using cloud-based or software services like Data Fusion (only available in the US), 95%+ for lane counting, and 99%+ for stop-bar presence detection. This software can detect, classify, and locate cars, buses, motorcycles, and trucks in heavy traffic, day, or night, even in challenging situations. It can detect pedestrians and bicycles in the road, enabling safety solutions for vulnerable road users.

Notably, the AI algorithms powering IVA Pro Traffic are adept at filtering out potential disturbances in the video stream, such as vehicle headlights, shadows, extreme weather conditions, sun reflections, and camera shaking or other movements, ensuring reliable and accurate performance in any environment. The AI-based 3D autocalibration ensures easy and reliable calibration with select cameras.

IVA Pro Intelligent Tracking detects, classifies, and tracks an object of interest with precise detail, even while the camera is moving and the object, such as a pedestrian or a vehicle, is standing still. This advanced video analytics solution ensures that the camera follows the person or vehicle consistently during movement or when temporarily stopped at a traffic light, traffic jam, or accident and keeps it prominently in the field of view. It filters unwanted sources of motion from the surrounding environment such as rain, snow, clouds, leaves, and lighting changes, providing the user with a higher degree of reliability – even when the security camera itself is moving. And provides metadata with GPS location, speed, and direction to support informed decision-making.

IVA Pro Visual Gun Detection is designed to detect people brandishing guns, including handguns and rifles, and promptly alert personnel who can verify the gun early and take proactive measures to secure approach and entry points. The computations are performed locally on the device, and the video data stays on the camera to ensure privacy. Security teams can rely on high-quality video footage for forensics supporting first responders. The installation process is simple; no extra server or camera calibration is required.

IVA Pro Visual Gun Detection can operate independently, but is also compatible with other systems such as video management systems, access control systems, and public address systems. These integration paths enable additional responses, including human verification, locking doors, initiating automated public address and two-way radio announcements, and dictating smart lockdown and evacuation protocols.

IVA Pro Appearance makes it easy to detect physical attributes of people without camera calibration. These attributes include hats, glasses, and bags, including their colors in the metadata. The software works best with forensic search for easy evidence retrieval and enables rapid investigations across multiple cameras simultaneously, enhancing the safety and security of public areas.

IVA Pro Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is designed to detect people and the proper use of safety vests and hard hats with proven accuracy and alert when they are missing. This award-winning AI-powered video analytics software enhances workplace safety to help reduce accident risk, support safety compliance, and improve operational efficiency by reducing the time supervisors spend in enforcing rules.

IVA Pro Privacy uses a semi-transparent privacy mask for moving objects, faces, individuals, or vehicles to ensure anonymization while still getting insights about them in the area. Users have the option to mask the camera image fully or partially while other IVA Pro software licenses obtain anonymized metadata, counting statistics, and alarm events. Another option is to dynamically mask all objects detected by other IVA Pro software, ensuring object anonymity while giving the operator an unhindered view of the rest of the scene.

IVA Pro Vehicle Make Model (VMM) recognizes vehicle details in real-time and adds it to the camera’s metadata stream. The software detects and identifies the make and model of moving cars, vans, buses, motorcycles, trucks, cars with trailer, trucks with trailer, and semitrailers based on a database of more than 140 manufacturers and 2,000 models at speeds up to 120 km/h (75 mph). This capability enables a more refined forensic search, especially when LPR is restricted or prohibited due to privacy concerns. It can be combined with IVA Pro LPR and IVA Pro Dangerous Goods Signs for a complete solution.

Instantly identify vehicles carrying hazardous substances with IVA Pro Dangerous Goods Signs, enabling city traffic operators to proactively monitor vehicle movement on roadways and entering and exiting tunnels, bridges, and other structures and make informed safety decisions. The technology automatically detects ADR (dangerous goods) signs on cars, vans, and trucks traveling at speeds up to 120km/h (75mph) at 95%+ accuracy and transmits data in real-time via different protocols ensuring easy integration.

IVA Pro License Plate Recognition (LPR) can identify license plate information at vehicle speeds up to 120 km/h (75 mph) day or night with 95%+ accuracy across multiple cameras and in various traffic settings, like city roadways, toll zones, parking lots, and school drop-off lanes. The AI-powered software analyzes the license plate images to extract the text and numbers, converting them into a readable format. Then, it adds this information to the camera’s metadata stream. The metadata extracted from vehicle license plates includes: Time stamp, license plate, country, state (if applicable), vehicle type (car, truck, bus, car with trailer, truck with trailer, semitrailer truck, motorcycle, van). IVA Pro LPR also empowers security teams with accurate vehicle identification, supporting crime prevention and investigation efforts by using vehicle information gathered across multiple cameras in BVMS and leading video management system providers Milestone and Genetec.
