Case Study Smart Surveillance Systems Tap Reliability and Performance of Seagate SV35 Series Drives Eco-Partner ObjectVideo Location Reston, VA Contact www.objectvideo.com www.wpgintl.com Primary Focus 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
