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 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 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 license plate recognition is restricted or prohibited due to privacy concerns. This software can be combined with IVA Pro License Plate and IVA Pro Dangerous Good Signs for a complete solution.

Instantly identify vehicles carrying hazardous substances with IVA Pro Dangerous Good 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) and transmits data in real-time via different protocols, ensuring easy integration.

IVA Pro License Plate can recognize license plate information at vehicle speeds up to 120 km/h (75 mph) day or night 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). The software 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.
