"Analytics is fast becoming a mainstream capability of video surveillance systems. End users are also increasingly looking to analytics to help solve business intelligence applications," said Brian Eckert, vice president of sales and marketing for ObjectVideo. "We meet both challenges head-on with ObjectVideo OnBoard for IA. By making this software available for millions of existing security devices, we are dramatically extending the usability of the end-user's installed video infrastructure."

"There are a variety of surveillance devices based on Intel architecture in the market today," said Ton Steenman, VP and general manager of Intel Low-Power Embedded Products Division. "Now that the ObjectVideo OnBoard suite is optimized for Intel architecture, customers can easily integrate intelligent video capability onto their existing platforms."

ObjectVideo OnBoard on IA is available for both Windows and Linux. A single channel of full ObjectVideo analytics capability takes fewer than 5 percent of a 2.2Ghz CPU. Features can be quickly introduced using ObjectVideo solutions, or more tightly integrated through OV Ready APIs to create highly differentiated capabilities. OV Ready is an XML-based intelligent video network protocol that standardizes ObjectVideo analytic rule, alert and configuration communications. By creating a common way to exchange information between intelligent devices and enterprise video management systems (provided by OV Ready network partners), these essential components become interoperable in the handling of rules, alerts, count data, forensics metadata and more.

The result is a network of intelligent, ObjectVideo-enabled partners, which allows system integrators and end customers to pick and choose components that best meet business objectives, while seamlessly delivering powerful ObjectVideo capabilities.

"IA is the foundation of many devices available today. As the IP video market leader, the opportunity to rapidly expand analytics to those devices is extremely exciting for us," said Mariann McDonagh, senior vice president of marketing for Verint Systems Inc., "Making it easier to add embedded intelligence increases the value of video solutions and helps make intelligent video practical for organizations of all sizes."

"Whether it's through our OV Ready protocol or the availability of our analytics on IA, ObjectVideo is focused on making analytics easier to deploy and use. We are one step closer to making ObjectVideo analytics available on any hardware platform and therefore exponentially easier for customers to add analytics capabilities," Eckert added.
