Skandi-CCTV's DVR and IP products now offer VCA features developed by UDP as options.

UDP’s embedded intelligent Video Analytics software is fast becoming the standard for all surveillance and security systems.
When combined with Skandi-CCTV’s comprehensive range of IP standard, Megapixel and HD cameras, IP encoders and compression cards, Video Analytics provides the most comprehensive surveillance coverage to combat today’s increasing security risks.
The system adds real value to any CCTV installation in a simple and cost effective manner through use of its powerful intuitive tracking engine.

Benefits

• High quality tracking engine
• Quick and easy to use – intuitive patented 3D graphical interface
• No algorithm parameters
• Cost-effectiveness

Tracker
This high-end tracking engine, which is the basis of the system, offers a wide variety of intuitive, intelligent functions. When incorporated into the various applications, they enable one of the most sophisticated Video Analytics packages available:

• Tracks up to 100 targets simultaneously.
• Up to 40 general purpose, user-defined, polygonal detection zones
• Camera shake cancellation – tracker works even if the camera is on a swaying pole
• Tracks objects when they stop or move very slowly
• Continues to track objects which pass each other, ensuring that the trail is continuous and unbroken
• Continues tracking when objects are partially or completely obscured temporarily
• Adjusts to image degradation caused by rain, fog, dirty camera lens and low sun position causing dazzle
  
• Ignores changes in light due to clouds and switching on artificial lights or camera auto-iris operation
• Ignores repetitive movement – waving trees, rippling water
  
• Ignores cloud shadows passing across the ground
• Ignores video interference and missing video frames
• Does not trigger false alarms from PTZ camera movement
• Tracks objects on 100% of screen area (except in any non-detection zones as defined by the user)
• Includes on-screen Annotation Metadata – draws drawing bounding boxes and object trails.
  
• Highlights alarmed and non-alarmed objects in different colors

System Overview
UDP’s Video Analytics package covers a range of CCTV platforms, including IP cameras, encoders and PC-based server solutions. It offers:

• Two levels of functionality: Primary, VCApresence – and more advanced analytics, VCAsurveillance

Three specific applications:

• Intrusion Detection, Perimeter surveillance and security
• Retail management intelligence and security
• Traffic and transport surveillance, management and security

FUNCTIONALITY

The high performance of VCApresence and VCAsurveillance is available due to the underlying high quality tracker. It results in a much lower false alarm rate and higher detection rate than many other Video Analytics systems.
