Building on its track record of artificial intelligence innovation, Idis has taken another step forward in neural networks developing what is now one of the most accurate AI engines available.

Users can easily access a range of advanced AI tools through the latest version of Idis Deep Learning Analytics (IDLA) technology, either as a service module with the Idis Solution Suite VMS or via the cost-effective AI in the Box appliance for smaller applications.

The company will be demonstrating the latest AI-driven metadata filtering capabilities, designed to make incident investigation faster and more effective.

IDLA makes control room operations more efficient by dramatically reducing false positive alarms and in turn supporting proactive decision making and prompting faster officer intervention during security and life safety events. It can accurately recognise incidents such as intrusion, loitering, and trespassing, all in real-time, and trigger notifications. In practice, this guides first responders to take the most appropriate action and reduces the chance of incidents being missed.

Idis Instant Meta Filtering (IMF) now allows users to exploit the power of metadata to speed up incident investigations. Operators can do this not just through IDLA but also through the totally cost free Idis Center VMS via the deployment of new Idis 6000 Series Edge VA (EVA) cameras. IDLA or EVA cameras record metadata even when an analytic rule is not applied. This allows operators to easily collate footage, with Idis IMF scanning hours of recorded video from multiple streams, to identify relevant data. This makes it easy to search footage to track a person or vehicle, cutting through large volumes of video data to reveal the movements and last-known locations of persons or vehicles of interest.

IDLA combined with IMF promises to deliver significant labor efficiencies and reduce investigations from days or hours to just minutes. For busy security departments, this means less time spent staring at screens and more time engaged with more important and rewarding duties.

To serve the fast moving retail sector, Idis will be showcasing its line-up of analytics appliances and specialty cameras which now includes new 12MP Panomorph and 5MP Compact Super Fisheyes, giving complete situational awareness of stores and logistics centres. In addition, the new, compact DC-C4212RX 2MP micro dome camera blends discretely with the aesthetics of high-end locations such as jewellery stores and designer boutiques. The company will also demonstrate the new reporting capabilities within its popular retail plug-and-play, VA in the Box analytics appliance. 

In the education sector, the Idis Solution Suite is proving particularly popular as a scalable, affordable VMS that works with a wide range of robust NVRs and cameras suitable for varied lighting conditions and locations. These offer the advantage of ease-of-use for teachers and administrators, with essential privacy functions and affordable, wide area coverage.

“This year at ISC West we’re really making it easy for systems integrators and customers to take advantage of advanced deep learning AI with some practical tools,” says Keith Drummond, Senior Sales Director for Idis America.
