Introduction
VCAsys is a real-time video analytics engine that utilizes advanced image processing algorithms to turn
video into actionable intelligence. At the core of the product is an advanced object tracking engine that
continually tracks moving and stationary targets. The tracking engine features built-in robustness to
environmental nuisance conditions such as changing illumination, moving foliage, rippling water, etc.
VCAsys is a generic name for a suite of analytics products that include:
• VCApresence: continually tracks moving and stationary targets and generates real-time alerts of
object presence in multiple overlapping detection zones.
• VCAsurveillance: continually tracks and classifies moving and stationary targets and features a
full suite of rule-based filters including: enter, exit, appear, disappear, stopped objects,
directionality constraints, object counting, loitering, object type and object speed. Multiple filters
are supported on any combination of multiple overlapping detection zones.
• VCApro: includes all the features of VCAsurveillance, in addition to an advanced people tracking
engine optimized for tracking people in cluttered indoor scenes such as retail scenarios. Includes
specific high-accuracy counting functions optimized for use in busy scenes.
• A full range of packages: optimized for specific scenarios. Contact your supplier for up to date
information about the packages available for different platforms.
Using the intuitive web-based configuration application, it's possible to quickly and easily define rules that
generate real-time alerts when triggered. The alerts are available in all formats supported by the
hardware on which it is enabled.
This user guide will help you get VCAsys configured for your application quickly, as well as lead you
through some of the advanced features provided by the product.
