What about this meta data - Who, why & how? Alarm centre Long term evidence of objects detected in an image => saving of storage Recording for evidence Extraction of video material => easy forensic Statistical reports New alarm rules after event => Additional possibilities to the alarm reporting VCA installer No need of rule definition => saving installation time 8

How can I use it? Meta data written in open MS SQL Server database Any tool that can read the database can be used, e.g. MS Office, SQL Management studion, etc... Bespoke application development easy Imagine e.g. a database browser application Defining graphical search rules Result list with playback link (if video is still available) Reports and statistics of results From: To: Color: Search 10
Result list of search for the red car 11
The three layers of Carbon VCA VCA partner solutions Pre-integrated analytics Carbon VCA Platform 12
Pre-packaged VCA solution option for analogue cameras Full-featured VCA functionality for cost-effective analogue cameras Easy to use configuration tool Rules based alarms generation All metadata collected to database e.g. for forensic search New in version 5.12 all MiraCap capture cards supported 13
Steps to take VCA into use 1. Installation with database 3. Send a file from your installation to Mirasys. Receive VCA license 4. Enter VCA license, start configuration 2. Upgrade Mirasys license with Carbon VCA channels 8. Define alarm (with actions) for VCA events. Based on the zones, rules,... created in #6 7. Add text channel (UDD) with pre-defined parameters 5. Calibrate cameras 6. Create zones, rules,... 14
VCA functionality Camera stabilisation Object classification and filtering Person, vehicle, etc. Zones and lines With versatile event options 15
Integrated ANPR engine Runs in the Carbon VCA recorder Licensed separately Writes number plate information to metadata database and/ or text channel e.g. search for a license plate from text channel and view the synchronized video to see that particular car 16
