With a new firmware update 1.8 for its HD camera line, the video analytics from RIVA gets a new feature – complex rules. With it, different zones/lines and filters can be combined logically. Thus, the German company says, the video analytics is more reliable, fewer false alarms are triggered and more application areas covered.
For example, when monitoring a large industrial area, one detection line can be set around the perimeter walls and one detection zone can cover the whole courtyard. Only if someone crosses the line and within a few seconds the same person enters the zone, an alarm is triggered. Thus, on both sites of the walls people such as security guards can move freely without triggering an alarm.
The video analytics can act in relation to specific time intervals. For example, when monitoring an entrance hall of a company which is entered by hundreds of employees and customers during the office hours, but which shouldn´t be entered by anyone outside the office hours, the video analytics only triggers an alarm detecting an object between 6pm to 6 am.
The new feature also offers benefits it is claimed when monitoring traffic flows. For example, to control if drivers keep their distance on a highway every few metres a detection zone is set. If a vehicle crosses a line and within two seconds another vehicle crosses the same line in the same direction, an alarm is triggered.
