Ipsotek announces the integration of their hybrid video analytics with Milestone video management software (VMS) to provide users with a more complete solution in a foundation for long-term success. The integration of hybrid video analytics with Milestone VMS Corporate is a powerful solution to seamlessly manage video surveillance of large areas with many IP networked cameras enhanced by adding Ipsotek video analytics capability. The integrated solution makes it possible to configure and manage hybrid video analytics from the Milestone VMS front end user interface. This allows each operator to configure and manage the integrated system from one workstation making it a “Mini Control Centre”.
Compressed video from Milestone VMS is received by hybrid video analytics via an IP link. The video is decoded and analysed by hybrid video analytics for the predefined behaviours. Events/alarms generated by hybrid video analytics are reported in Milestone VMSin real time. Using the Milestone software's ability to load third-party plugins, the solution allows operators to add Ipsotek's ‘VISDK Plugin', capable of displaying video along with overlay of metadata (marking tracks, events etc.). The solution does not suffer from any time synchronization issues (such as those with alarm reporting time and metadata display which are known in integrations of this type) as hybrid video analytics uses the frame timestamp which is embedded in compressed video streams sent by Milestone VMS.
The video analysis output from hybrid video analytics is low bandwidth, reliable metadata related to people/vehicle movements (tracks), event detections (alarms) and counting statistics (people/vehicle). Ipsotek's product pipeline capitalises on hybrid video analytics's metadata in solving complex problems such as multi-camera tracking. The counting statistics, yet another form of hybrid video analytics metadata, are presented to users via Visualization (VIZ), Ipsotek's business intelligence tool.
