Illustra now offers its IP camera customers powerful video intelligence analytics to automatically analyse captured video and alert users of specific motion detected activities. The new intelligence analytics alert operators of key events that need immediate attention for perimeter detection in airports and critical infrastructure and give additional insight to daily operations such as crowd monitoring for retail applications. For example, if a line is forming in the wrong direction or a bag is left unattended in a restricted area for a period of time operators will be notified instantly to take action.

Available on the Illustra Pro 2, 3 and 5 megapixel mini-dome IP camera series, Illustra video intelligence analytics automatically detect alarms for key suspicious events. With the analytics on the edge, Illustra creates a cost-effective solution without the need for a dedicated analytics server. These analytics are easily integrated with Exacqvision network video recorders and VMS software and American Dynamics Videoedge network video recorders and Victor video management system.

“These new sophisticated onboard video analytics gives our customers a valuable tool to minimize operator’s time searching video and improve operational efficiencies, delivering a better customer experience,” said James Voss, Senior Product Manager, Tyco Security Products.

Illustra intelligence analytics offers nine new video analytic rule options including object removed, linger alarm automatically detects loitering in an area for longer than an extended period of time, abandoned object, enter/exit, crowd formation and dwell analysis.
