2021
New features which address the unique challenges of Covid-related safety measures, provide useful functions when exporting data, and optimise the operational environment.
Face Redaction
We value data privacy and want to support the measures our clients take to comply with relevant data protection regulations. The CathexisVision Archive viewer now provides the option for faces to be redacted when exporting footage from an archive to MP4 format.
Advanced, Accurate Analytics
Updates to CathexisVision’s powerful range of video analytics make the system even more efficient in response to the unique challenges of video surveillance. Cameras are often positioned outside, exposed to the elements, or indoors, in hard-to-reach areas. We have therefore updated our advanced analytics algorithms to reject false positives and detect anomalies, such as spiders, cross the camera lens, to prevent them causing a false trigger. We have also added options to offload analytics processing to selected Graphics Processing Units, allowing users to operate more algorithms on the system simultaneously.
COVID security
We have added features to CathexisVision to support safety measures aimed at preventing the spread of Covid-19.
New features include:
- Mask Detection: Users can configure the system to trigger certain actions, depending on whether or not a person is detected to be wearing a mask.
- Maintaining Physical Distancing: Tracks activity using people proximity analytics, automatically identifying instances in which people are closer than the configured distance.
- Managing Occupancy: The are several benefits to being able to monitor occupancy and configure system actions based on occupancy in an area being above, below or matching the desired threshold – such as managing customer occupancy in retail settings, planning logistics in parking areas, or enacting Covid safety regulations.
- Temperature Monitoring: The temperature of specific facial landmarks can be taken, and temperature monitoring can be automated, limiting the risk of close contact between individuals. With a range of model and backed options, and customised overlays, thermal face temperature monitoring increases the efficiency and safety of your security solution.
- Facial Detection: On detection of a face, the system can be configured to trigger events, perform temperature readings on the detected face using integrated thermal cameras, and even export a thumbnail image of the face to third-party systems, such as face recognition platforms.
New Translations
We provide security solutions for systems in market sectors worldwide, and continue to expand into more and more global markets. To support our clients across the globe, our software and documentation is available in multiple languages, and new translations are continually being added.
Enhanced ANPR
Two new features have recently been added to CathexisVision’s already powerful ANPR offering:
- Average speed measurement: this enables us to record vehicle speed between two ANPR detection points. We store the vehicle speeds and associated video into our database and provide the ability to set speed thresholds for alerts/alarms.
- Vehicle loitering: trigger events based on a license plate not exiting an area within a given time period.
Integrations
CathexisVision integrates with several third-party systems, and we are always developing new integrations. In 2021, the following integrations have been added:
- Impro Access Control: combining Impro’s Portal Pro software and CathexisVision, this integration enables CathexisVision to receive information from Portal Pro. When an access control event is detected (such as a door being forced open, or a cardholder entering the premises), the user can define a range of actions. To enhance the options available, doors can be allocated to a group for triggering customised actions.
- Grekkom Ngaro analytics: the Ngaro software monitors camera activity. When an object is detected, the integration sends an alert to CathexisVision, which creates events and database entries for the duration of alarms. Operators can configure live events to trigger desired actions.
- Mettler UC3 scale: this point-of-sale integration connects the Mettler Scale UC3 device with CathexisVision, recording data and triggering CathexisVision events based on information received from the device. This integration brings together Mettler’s weighing technology and CathexisVision’s advanced features in a single platform.
- Axis and Moxa I/O devices: in both of these I/O integrations, the integration receives triggers from the device (Axis or Moxa) and creates CathexisVision events based on the data. Users can set unique actions based on these triggers. Both the Axis and Moxa I/O integrations link I/O technology and CathexisVision into a single, user-friendly solution.
- OnDis gateway: this integration is especially useful in retail settings, where stocks need to be monitored. In the OnDis Gateway integration, a scale on a shelf can be configured to send an alarm or report to an inventory system if an item is removed. Using this integration, retail outlets can decrease the likelihood of theft, and increase possible sales by keeping shelves stocked with products.
- Stentofon intercom: the integration displays device events in order to log calls. When there is a call on the intercom, an event is received and logged by CathexisVision. Selected cameras can be associated with the intercom. Operators can monitor events happening on-site or configure the system to set off actions in response to detected intercom events.
- Cameras: CathexisVision has integrated with several leading camera brands and developed updates and advanced features on existing camera integrations, such as the FFGroup LPR plugin on Axis and Mobotix cameras, support for the SentryWay ONVIFv2 driver, audio out support for Milesight cameras, and advanced settings on the Mobotix thermal driver.
