| Two New High-Definition Video Surveillance Cameras
|
|
CoVi Technologies today announced two high-definition video cameras with
embedded video analytics -- intelligent software technology that automates the
process of monitoring and analyzing video information. The new CoVi CVQ-2500 and
CVQ-3500 MultiStream(TM) cameras provide security professionals with a powerful
new tool in their arsenal to improve video surveillance effectiveness while
minimizing personnel requirements and human error.
Constant threats to
the security of commercial and governmental facilities have pushed the limits of
conventional video security solutions. The increasing need for 24/7 surveillance
has put security professionals in the precarious position of having hundreds or
thousands of video cameras in place, but not nearly enough trained personnel to
monitor them all. CoVi's video analytics-enabled system automates the monitoring
process to dramatically improve security effectiveness and efficiency, while
minimizing the impact on network infrastructure.
The new CoVi CVQ-2500
box and CVQ-3500 dome cameras are designed for CoVi's flagship Crystal HD(TM)
video surveillance system. Both cameras integrate a dedicated Video Analytics
Engine (VAE) and intelligent ObjectVideo(TM) analytics software to monitor
numerous simultaneous video feeds, as well as detect, identify, classify and
track objects, and issue automatic alerts so that immediate action can be taken,
if necessary. CoVi's HD video surveillance system provides up to 12 times
higher-quality video resolution than standard definition systems to improve
analytics processing and monitoring by security personnel. The CoVi system also
minimizes false alarms and delivers faster response times to security events
than conventional solutions.
In addition, CoVi's distributed IP system
architecture dramatically reduces the processing requirements of conventional
server-based video surveillance systems, consuming zero bandwidth for the
processing of analytics-generated alerts.
"A video camera is essentially
an extra set of eyes, but without a human being on the other end to interpret
what the camera sees, cameras and recorders become strictly reactive devices,"
said CoVi president and CEO, Barry Walker. "The problem becomes an order of
magnitude greater as the number of cameras in the facility increases. Video
analytics acts as the 'brain,' dramatically increasing the functionality of a
surveillance system, freeing the security personnel to interact with people and
situations, instead of staring at monitors. Video analytics, coupled with CoVi's
high definition video, makes for an unbeatable surveillance system."
The
new CoVi cameras capture HD resolution (1280 x 720) video and offer a wide 16:9
aspect ratio, which provides 30 percent greater field-of-view coverage than
standard 4:3 video. Video is analyzed in real time prior to compression for
greater accuracy and fewer false alarms compared with traditional server-based
systems. The embedded video analytics software generates real-time alerts when
predetermined rules, such as a person crossing a virtual tripwire or an object
disappearing from an area of interest, are violated.
Key features of the
CVQ-2500 and CVQ-3500 cameras include:
-- Superior video quality -- The
cameras employ a megapixel, progressive scan sensor to capture HD resolution
forensic quality video with superior dynamic range
-- Open, Upgradeable
Platform -- Available with industry leading ObjectVideo software, the VAE is
remotely upgradeable, providing investment protection for future advances in
video analytics algorithms.
-- Edge-based video analytics -- Zero bandwidth
consumption for processing video analytics; up to 20 times less rack space and
processing requirements compared with traditional server-based systems
--
Pre-compression analytics -- Utilizes raw video from sensor without compression
artifacts; provides lower false alarm rates and faster response rates than
server-based systems
-- Truly scalable -- Up to 80 separate sensors per 1U
server
-- MultiStream technology -- Up to six different rates and resolutions
of video may be transmitted simultaneously, allowing a choice of video formats
suitable to the situation and need; supports simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG
streams
CoVi's new cameras are optimized for its flagship Crystal HD
system, the world's only high-definition, distributed, IP-based video
surveillance system. Crystal HD is based on CoVi's Security Camera Area Network
(SCAN(TM)) architecture, which encodes and stores video at the IP network edge
to provide unparalleled performance and reliability. Crystal HD's unique
distributed architecture is a dramatic departure from the legacy centralized
CCTV topology, and maximizes quality and functionality while minimizing network
usage. Crystal HD integrates cameras, Distributed Media Managers (DMMs) and
monitoring and management software to provide unparalleled performance and
reliability.
All CoVi CVQ series cameras connect to an IP network via
CoVi DMMs. Each camera/DMM pair acts as a single intelligent node and can be
accessed, monitored and administered using the Crystal HD Surveillance Suite
software.
