First of all, what is intelligent video monitoring software? What's the difference between it and ordinary video monitoring software? Answer these two questions, so that you can better judge the quality of intelligent video monitoring software!
In general, it is through software analysis of videos and a series of complex algorithms to determine simple behaviors or phenomena (at present, it can only achieve simple determination), including path tracking, behavior analysis, population statistics, out of focus detection, abandoned objects, lost objects detection, indoor and outdoor flame/smoke detection, etc, The difference between it and ordinary video monitoring software is that it has more analysis functions. The ordinary one is just a display and operation platform. If the security personnel do not notice the accident in the video, they can not handle it in time. In most cases, it can only be used as evidence after the event, while the intelligent video monitoring software can give early warning and alarm in the event.
A good monitoring software must have good compatibility, at least it must support analog/IP cameras in a mixed way, so as to facilitate the current market situation (at present, most people use analog cameras, but IP cameras will replace them sooner or later). The hybrid system supporting simulation/IP provides users with a better transition method, It enables users to make the original simulation camera and the new IP camera operate smoothly in the same system, and achieve the goal of system upgrade and function expansion without spending a lot of money on system restructuring. Different from the mixed DVR devices on the market, the software based video management system has the advantages of lower equipment cost, easy upgrade, and high scalability, allowing users to obtain good monitoring technology on the market at any time.
Secondly, the function should be powerful and easy to use! Functions such as event alarm, event recording, timeline playback, remote playback, real-time playback, bookmark system, log management, electronic map, camera control, etc., make it easier for monitoring personnel to handle daily work; Powerful network functions provide remote login, webcast, email notification, etc., so that users can achieve monitoring management wherever they are connected to the Internet. This is a good video monitoring software!
The best is an open platform with strong software/hardware compatibility and high scalability. Support various types of IP cameras, DVRs, DirectShow acquisition cards; At the same time, it can intelligently integrate with access control, fire protection, POS, ATM and other third-party application software or systems, expand functions according to different needs of various industries, and complete monitoring and management.
Finally, there must be a variety of intelligent analysis modules, including license plate recognition, face recognition and so on. Only in this way can we call it a good intelligent video monitoring software!
