‘X-Series cameras have analytics that enable them to perform advanced data processing directly at the edge, right on the camera itself,’ explained Mike Poe, Director, Product Management at 3xlogic. They use object, people, perimeter and vehicle identification algorithms to provide accurate detection and tracking in dense, complex and busy environments. Using vast volumes of representative data, the cameras continuously analyse movements and behaviour, while using predictive analysis to constantly track each object.’

3xlogic’s analytics technology utilises appearance-based models, as opposed to established motion-based solutions that depend solely on changes in pixels over time to indicate movement. This decreases the opportunity for false positives as a result of elements such as illumination changes or foliage, as the trackers identify and ignore them because they do not look like objects of interest. This level of filtering is particularly effective for improving accuracy or detecting complex behaviours, and once an object begins tracking, a unique identification code is assigned that stays with the object in the field of view.

X-Series cameras can be deployed both indoors and outdoors and allow valuable business intelligence to be gained. Core applications include retail, commercial and office premises, education, hospitality, warehousing and distribution, healthcare and critical infrastructure. 3xlogic’s deep learning analytics provide information about dwell time, entry and exit, appearance and disappearance, abandoned and removed objects, traffic direction and tailgating, as well as people movement and counting.

X-Series cameras form an integral part of 3xlogic's Vigil video management system, allowing users to harness the full potential of their surveillance ecosystem. For example, person, object and vehicle detection capabilities can be integrated into Vigil Cloud, so that only actionable detection and notifications are delivered. Meanwhile, Vigil Server provides support for use cases such as perimeter protection, business intelligence and alarm notifications. Integration with Vigil Trends makes security management easier and more efficient by turning data into meaningful information – collating, deciphering, and presenting it in a way that makes sense by showing present and historical data in a business context.

3xLogic’s Poe concluded, ‘Our X-Series edge based deep learning analytics cameras empower organizations to take their security to the next level by providing them with powerful analytical tools that deliver insights and actionable data, enabling them to make informed decisions and respond quickly to potential security threats.’
