30



LEADER / FOLLOWERVEW's Leader/Follower functionality allows a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera to automatically follow an object that triggered an event in another camera's view. Specialized tools are also provided for precise camera calibration to insure accurate tracking of one or many targets.

HIGH RESOLUTION VEW supports high-resolution video processing, allowing for better image detail and larger coverage areas (more than double in most cases). As a result, the software identifies, classifies, and tracks objects from much greater distances when analyzing video from high-resolution cameras.

31



RULE-SPECIFIC INTELLIGENCEVEW enables users to create rules and notifications appropriate for those rules. Users can create rules that mimic defined security policies and receive real-time, actionable alerts when those rules are violated. Also users can define rules to gather business intelligence about customer behaviors or gather data for historical reporting and analysis. Available rule types include detection of objects crossing single or multiple video tripwires, loitering, entering or exiting areas of interest, left behind or taken away objects, occupancy, and dwell time.

HIGH RESOLUTION VEW supports high-resolution video processing, allowing for better image detail and larger coverage areas (more than double in most cases). As a result, the software identifies, classifies, and tracks objects from much greater distances when analyzing video from high-resolution cameras.

32



OBJECTVIDEO FORENSICSObjectVideo Forensics is a feature that allows users to discern critical intelligence about the environment based on past events. With this optional add-on, users can repeatedly apply rules to any repository of collected or stored video, and understand how to better define rules in the future.

MULTI-VIEW

Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras are essential threat assessment tools found in almost every CCTV environment. ObjectVideo VEW adds intelligence to any PTZ camera by allowing multiple camera views/positions to be defined, each with their own unique set of security rules. VEW automatically recognizes which view the camera is using and quickly engages the appropriate rule set.

33



FLOW CONTROLObjectVideo VEW Flow Control is specifically designed to detect people traveling the wrong way in crowded environments, such as airport security exits. Users can define the acceptable direction of motion and, when people move against the flow, the system generates an alert.

34
