Provider of intelligent video software
All surveillance cameras can record what they see, but most cannot make
sense of what they are viewing. Surveillance systems utilizing ObjectVideo’s
intelligent video software, however, fall within the elite exception. According
to Tan Kok Kheng, VP OEM Division of WPG Systems, the exclusive
distributor of ObjectVideo products in Asia-Pacific, ObjectVideo’s OnBoard
solution enables video surveillance equipment manufacturers and
system integrators to create intelligent video surveillance products. Such
intelligence-imbedded products can see and process visual information in
the way humans do. For example, these smart cameras can tell the difference
between a human and a car. The system can be programmed to track
anything identified as a human and send an alert when the human violates
pre-defined rules—like when climbing over a physical wall.
Using technology from Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA)—the US military research organization that created the Internet,
M-16 assault rifles and GPS—ObjectVideo has over 35 percent of the world’s
market share in intelligent video surveillance systems. Customers include
the military, homeland security teams, banks and the Sydney Opera House.
ObjectVideo technology is used to protect U.S. Marines in a war zone.
The Shift to Intelligence in Surveillance
There has been a substantial increase in the use of security surveillance
cameras in recent times, largely due to the heightened security in today’s
uncertain times and the dip in the costs of such cameras. Mr. Tan said,
“In
the past, security personnel viewed one camera on a single monitor. Now
it is not uncommon to find them looking at 20 cameras linked to a single
display. After 20 minutes of surveying, the human attention to video detail
degenerates into an unacceptable level and video surveillance becomes
meaningless. Traditional video surveillance can no longer meet the increased
demands of the industry.”
The solution is to make use of smart surveillance systems with automated
tracking and alert systems. Some standard video cameras also make
use of video motion detection, but only in a certain area, which results in
many false alarms. Motion detection makes no distinction between falling
leaves, a leaping cat or an adventurous burglar. ObjectVideo’s technology
not only distinguishes the objects, it also lets the user easily set rules to
