security events → seamless view without blind spots, plus exceptional responsiveness and situational awareness. The new Avigilon Unusual Motion Detection (“UMD”) video analytics technology was in focus for a preview on the Avigilon stand at ISC West. UMD is an advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology that Avigilon believes brings a new level of automation to surveillance. This technology is designed to continuously learn what typical activity in the scene looks like and focus the operator’s attention on atypical events needing further investigation. By continuously learning, UMD is able to automatically detect unusual events, such as a vehicle moving in the wrong direction on a road, or a crowd running in panic in a public space. This technology enables users to quickly search through volumes of recorded footage with ease, revealing events that might have otherwise been missed. This technology is designed for Avigilon’s complete line of video analytics solutions. Existing customers will be able to upgrade certain legacy products to benefit from this exciting new technology. On the exhibition Avigilon also showcased its expanding deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) search engine: Avigilon Appearance Search technology, with two powerful new features that help users save time and effort during critical investigations. Using deep neural networks for face analytics, Avigilon Face Appearance Search technology enables searching for a person by incorporating the unique characteristics of a face to find similar recorded footage of that person across a site. For operators, this technology increases the speed and accuracy of investigations, by detecting and understanding that it is searching for the same person, even if items such as their clothing change over time. Avigilon Vehicle Appearance Search technology enables users to quickly search recorded footage and find a specific vehicle across a site. This technology is designed to provide security operators critical information about where and when a vehicle might have been before and after an event. Both Avigilon Face and Vehicle Search have been designed to be part of Avigilon Appearance Search technology, and will be integrated with Avigilon’s full line of video analytics solutions. Existing customers will be able to upgrade certain legacy products to benefit from these exciting new technologies. Theia Technologies demonstrated its award-winning family of compact 4k lenses at ISC West on Hanwha’s new XNB-8000 Wisenet 5 camera as well as on Dallmeier’s DF5400HD-DN 4k camera. Theia’s motorised TL1250 and TL936 lenses were shown at ISC West on Arecont’s Megavideo G5 series cameras. The motorised zoom, focus, and P-iris lenses also feature custom housings. Theia’s family of compact 4k lenses in fully motorised or manual versions continues to be selected and approved by OEM camera companies including Vivotek for use on their IP9181-H camera,and by Dahua for their 4k cameras. Video analytics solutions Geovision showcased its new deep learning based smart camera GVSmart camera GVVD8700, VD8700 from Geovision. powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 series IoT connected camera portfolio and Intellivision’s Face Recognizer solutions. With this new camera Geovision brings what it believes to be the world-first deep learningbased, 4K HEVC, intelligent video analytics (IVA) on-device smart camera, featuring on-camera face detection, tracking, recognition of up to eight faces, human detection, and intrusion detection for various security applications. Traditionally, video analytics processing for video surveillance has been limited to server or cloud management due to CPU or GPU constraints, which are often still time lagging to properly provide meaningful and useful analytic results in real-world applications, and on time. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 connected camera platform and Intellivision’s video analytic algorithm fundamentally changes how video is captured and analysed, to truly build a new class of “Artificial Intelligence (AI) camera”, so that the camera can help to sense, gather, and analyse data. With the new platform, the GV-VD8700 can easily add deep learning capabilities with very low power requirements; reduce data streaming, and create immediate action and event alerts. Video analytics features such as facial recognition, human detection, and intrusion detection will be able to operate on multiple channels in real time. Another face recognition solution was launched by 3M. The 3M Live Face Identification System (LDIS) is a software only back-end system that processes video in real time or post-event and searches against person-of-interest databases for the identification of people. It is scaleable, easily configurable, clouddeployable, and leverages the customers’ choices of IP cameras and/ or mobile devices. According to 3M laboratory testings the LFIS is more than 95 percent accurate with less than a second between capture and identification. Other video surveillance products WES3HTG from KBC Networks. The latest updates in transmission solutions by KBC Networks was showcased at ISC West. The company displayed the new and improved WES3HTG wireless transmission system and some of the best in real-time encrypted video and data communication over 3G/4G networks with the new generation Thrulink. The new WES3HTG wireless transmission system is marketed as one product but with three configurations - client, host or multipoint host. The new system incorporates enhanced userselectable firmware, backhaul applications, compact design and full technical support. Thrulink allows real-time, encrypted video, voice and data to be transmitted over public networks such as the Internet or 3G/4G/ LTE. It enables users to take full advantage of public infrastructure while maintaining data security. Hikvision’s new, single-unit intelligent video management station – the Blazer Express – focuses on managing Hikvision IP cameras with the Windows-based NVR, using the operating system on an SSD (Solid State Drive). It has16or 32-camera options with 16 built-in POE inputs for IP cameras, and up to 24 TB of onboard storage; central management, with live view and playback from up to 15 remote NVRs or Blazers; and powerful video analytic searches with POS integration. Nuuo from Taiwan presented their NVR and VMS platform, which work in both Linux and Windows O/S environments. Their VMWare version is engineered to be scalable and flexible with advanced functions such as, intelligent video analytics, facial recognition, license plate identification, and point of sale for retail applica- One of the product highlights of the show was Mission Control, a decision support system from the Canadian VMS company Genetec. Rémi Bréval, the director of Mission Control Group, demonstrated the system for the impressed editor of Detektor. Security News Every Day – www. securityworldhotel.com 34 • d ete ktor internati onal
