Video IQ detects humans, not just motion

November 2003 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection

Elvey International, distributor of Kalatel, has introduced VideoIQ, an intrusion detection solution which 'looks' through your surveillance cameras to detect humans, not just motion. According to Elvey International, Kalatel's new Concept Coding technology enables VideoIQ to work like a human brain, by actually teaching VideoIQ how to recognise people, not just by shape and colour, but also by how they act. VideoIQ brings the kind of intelligence to surveillance systems that other forms of intrusion detection - including traditional motion detection - fail to deliver.

Background motion cannot fool VideoIQ

VideoIQ even continues to learn after it is installed, learning to recognise and ignore each new background, concentrating on moving foreground objects like people, cars and animals. When it sees a new environment, VideoIQ detects background motion and recognises that it is not human and, after a few seconds, it learns to ignore such repetitive background motion altogether. Kalatel claims that VideoIQ is not confused by trees and shrubs blowing in the wind, or even dramatic lighting changes caused by moving clouds, pouring rain and heavy snowfall. "When VideoIQ puts its signature red box around an object, you can rest assured that it is human."

Add intelligence to your current system

According to Elvey International, adding VideoIQ to a surveillance system brings immediate benefits, including:

* Reduced cost by reducing the time spent responding to false alarms and, because it works with existing equipment, it enables users to improve - not replace - existing systems.

* Improves system effectiveness as it alerts guards to incidents and frees them to perform other tasks.

* Gives users more time to respond. It can watch an entire fence line and beyond, effectively extending the protected perimeter and enabling users to act before an intrusion occurs.
