1 Analytics Features Video Management Solutions The Video Analytics Suite provides a powerful enhancement to the world-class, feature-rich Video Surveillance Management software, and significantly enriches the value of any CCTV surveillance installation. goes beyond surveillance to offer the most sophisticated and fully integrated infrastructure and security management system that delivers maximum return on surveillance investment. Seamless integration, easy installation and exceptional ease-of-use have made the preferred surveillance software solution for the global retail, banking, mining, education, residential, commercial, healthcare, transport, logistics and city surveillance sectors.

2 VIDEO ANALYTICS CATHEXISVISION VIDEO ANALYTICS The Video Analytics suite uses several algorithms, which can be configured to automatically provide triggers to the system, and enable specific user-defined actions, depending on the specific trigger received. The resultant event trigger could result in the sounding of an alarm, switching selected cameras to selected monitors, automatically sending s to selected recipients or just recording pre- and post- trigger event video footage from selected cameras to a particular database for review and analysis later. THE CATHEXISVISION VIDEO ANALYTICS SUITE INCLUDES: Presence Detection Enter/Exit Area Line-Crossing Motion Detection Time or Stop in Area Direction Speed Loitering Abandoned / Removed Object Detection Appear/Disappear 3D People Counting Object Counting Queue Length Analysis License Plate Recognition

3 ALGORITHM SET-UP FEATURES EASE OF SET-UP Our experience over the past 20 years has shown us that Video Analytics require an empirical approach to configuration, and that more sophisticated algorithms present complex and challenging configuration. The Cathexis team has therefore developed the ability to configure the analytics on pre-recorded and live video footage. This enables users to adjust the algorithm until the user is completely comfortable with its performance. In addition, Cathexis provides feedback on the performance of the algorithm in real-time, making the set-up of the algorithms easier and more intuitive. Within its various algorithms, has provided the flexibility, functionality and ease-of use to provide the most accurate results. These include: INCLUSION ZONES The analytics set-up allows the user to structure inclusion zones or masking. This is easily accomplished by using the multi-point polygon. SIZE FILTERS If the user wants to track objects that are a specific size, has the necessary width and height settings to enable this functionality. CALIBRATION The analytics set-up algorithms take into account camera positions, camera angles and the perspective of the scene. Therefore, objects that are further away will appear to be much smaller than objects closer to the camera. The graphical calibration feature enables the user to calibrate according to the camera scenario to ensure accurate results. IMAGE STABILISATION Certain camera installations set-up at height in harsh or windy conditions may result in camera shake. has developed an image stabilisation algorithm that will reduce the negative effects of this. SHADOW SUPPRESSION One of the major influences on false alarms is the existence of shadows associated with moving objects. also provides the functionality to minimise this effect. DIRECTION SETTINGS Algorithms may need to trigger objects that are moving in a specific direction. provides the functionality to accomplish this.

4 ANALYTICS ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS PRESENCE TRIGGER The user has the ability to draw a multi-point inclusion zone, which will trigger an event in the presence of an object in the specific area. As a result, any object that is detected according to the set-up parameters, and is detected in this zone, will generate a trigger. Application Example: Movement in the passageway of a building will trigger recordings and an alarm. ENTER AND EXIT AREA This feature forms part of the Cathexis Advanced Area Analytics and the algorithm allows for the configuration of object entry or exit detection into or out of a selected area or inclusion zone. The area for detection is selected via a multi-point configuration tool, and the algorithm can be set to trigger on objects entering the area, leaving the area, or both. Notification when a vehicle enters a restricted area of a carpark. A person entering an area in an oil refinery or mining facility where workers are already active. STOPPING IN AREA Similar to the Loitering algorithm, this is more specific in that the trigger will only be activated if an object has entered and then stopped in the inclusion zone for longer than a pre-determined time. 05:54 A vehicle that has stopped on the shoulder lane of a freeway. A person entering a waiting area of a bank and waiting for longer than a specified time.

5 ANALYTICS ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS LINE CROSSING An imaginary line is placed in a specific place on the video image, and any objects of pre-determined size that cross this line will generate a trigger. The algorithm can be configured to detect forward, reverse or both directions across the line. Customers entering and exiting the entrance of a retail store. Intruders crossing a boundary line or fence line. Pedestrians walking across a highway. ADVANCED LINE CROSSING This algorithm provides an extension to the basic algorithm by firstly, providing an articulated line with as many points as required (Example: if you want a curved line). Secondly, by providing a double line that will then only trigger if both lines have been crossed. An intruder entering a no-mans-land area will be tracked and detected, but only once they have crossed both lines, will the alarm be triggered. An articulated line around a perimeter. LOITERING 02:54 This algorithm allows for the configuration of objects in a certain area based on a set timer. An alarm will be triggered if the object has been present in a specific area that exceeds the pre-determined time. Application Example: An alarm can be sounded if a person is loitering near an ATM machine for longer than a specified period of time.

6 ANALYTICS ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS NO MOTION This algorithm can be configured to set-off an alarm after a specified period of time to indicate a lack of movement in a designated area. Application Example: The No Motion algorithm could typically be used in a control room environment to monitor the control room operators. If No Motion has been detected in the operator seating area for 30 minutes, an alarm will be triggered. No Motion detected may indicate that the operator has fallen asleep or left the control room. 31:54 SPEED DETECTION This algorithm enables the measurement of the speed of a tracked object across a pre-determined distance. The speed triggers can be configured in either a forward or reverse direction. The speed between two points that a vehicle is travelling in a certain direction. A person running instead of walking in a specified area. MOTION / STATIC OBJECT DETECTION Object Detection is used to monitor and trigger user-defined actions based on introduced or removed stationary objects. If an object is detected in a pre-defined area for longer than a specified time, the system will generate a trigger. A suitcase left in an airport public area. An illegally parked vehicle or an abandoned parcel in a public area. An object left blocking a fire escape area.

7 ANALYTICS ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS QUEUE LENGTH ANALYSIS The Queue Length Algorithm is used to detect if a queue of people or objects is occupied for too long. This is done by creating multiple zones along the queue area and then generating a trigger if the zones within the queue are occupied for longer than a specified time. The queue for the tills of a retail store, so that the store manager can be notified if customers are not being served quickly enough. Queue at a carpark. AUTOMATIC NUMBER PLATE RECOGNITION (ANPR) Also known as LPR (License Plate Recognition), this algorithm uses a Character Recognition Algorithm through which the license plate details of vehicles can be identified. This sophisticated algorithm has been proven in more than 200 countries and works with both standard visible light cameras and specialised ANPR cameras, depending on the requirements and the environment. Identifying stolen vehicles in cities. Access control for individuals or groups for hotels or carparks. 3D PEOPLE / OBJECT COUNTING A 3D sensor creates an image from the measured distances of different parts of the object. This algorithm uses the image closest in distance to count as a single object. Application Example: The number of people entering a retail store on a daily basis. IN: 03 OUT: 01
