Intelligence-at-the-Edge Concept
Embedded Video Content Analysis (VCA), that decides
which video is captured, is an implementation of the
Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept. By only selecting alarm
video for streaming or recording, less bandwidth and
storage is used.
Alarm conditions can be signaled by a relay output on the
unit or an alarm connection, to stream video to a decoder
or video management system. Alarms can also be
transmitted to a video management system to start
extended alarm scenarios.
As well as creating alarms, IVA 4.0 produces metadata
that describes the content of the analyzed scene. This
metadata is sent over the network—and may also be
recorded—together with the video stream. It can be used
for providing a forensic search capability for recordings
together with the Archive Player program and a Forensic
Search license. Forensic searching is very time efficient
and can scan a huge recording database for events within
seconds.
Intuitive Graphical User Interface
A new wizard-based GUI guides you through the
configuration with ease. The Configuration Manager
program with an intuitive plug-in is part of the product CD
and provides all the necessary tools to set up IVA 4.0.
A wizard-based graphical display within the IVA Task
Manager, allows you to set the sensitive area, size, speed,
perspective, and aspect ratio as well as the movement
direction and object color, which are then simply
superimposed upon the image.
The pick object functionality enables configuration to be
carried out just by clicking an object of interest in the live
scene. All specific information regarding size, speed,
direction, aspect ratio, and color are automatically set for
task configuration.
Up to eight independent tasks can be selected and
combined in the scene to build sophisticated detection
rules, each one individualized with its own parameters.
This allows the detection of multiple object states in
parallel, generating separate triggers that can be handled
independently or in combination. The interface allows a
flexible selection of each sensitive area through polygons
with up to 16 corner points.
A further improved calibrator is used for easy perspective
correction and camera calibration making measurements
more accurate for both metric and imperial systems.
When movement is detected, the object is outlined in
yellow on the display and motion is tracked on the
monitor. If an object and its motion match the rule
conditions defined for one of the detector fields, it
creates an alarm and its outlines are switched to red.
Additionally, an idle object is marked with an [I] and a
removed object with an [X].
Installation/Configuration Notes
The IVA 4.0 software functionality is a free-of-charge
upgrade of IVA 3.5 and already part of all IVA 4.0 enabled-
products with the firmware release of 4.0 or higher. It
upgrades automatically from an already installed
IVMD 2.0, IVA 3.0 or IVA 3.5 when installing the 4.0
firmware to the device. New IVA 4.0 customers only need
to enable the 4.0 license to make it operational.
The IVA 4.0 license enabling all IVA 4.x features, can be
installed in parallel with an IVMD 1.0 license on the same
unit (not on VIP X1600 XF). IVA 4.0 is set up using the
Configuration Manager program that is included with the
product and available for download from the Bosch
website.
Configuration Manager can be installed as often as
required on any PC that will be used for configuration of
IVA 4.0 and the products themselves.
Video content analysis may require up to 40% of the
available calculation power of an encoder or camera. As
priority is always given to recording and live video
streams, video content analysis may be affected if the
calculation power it requires is not available. Correct
selection of encoder settings should resolve this. The
performance meter on the Web page of the product may
be helpful for set-up. IVA 4.x is not available for VIP X1
and VIP X2 because of technical restrictions.
