Here is a little video showing what the VideoIQ can do for certain camera installations. To learn more, PM for info. http://support.videoiq.net/docs/Demos.mp4

Take a look at one of our IP camera vendors Inscape Data. They use the Sony lens and they are pretty inexpensive and come with a free software. www.inscapedata.com. Let me know if you are interested.

I have 5 more real world applications I can give you, but I don't have the time to type them all out. They are for a Car Ferry Boat, Cruise ship and Cargo, commericial buildings and property owners, chemical/gas facility, and residential communites.

This is how our rep from VideoIQ replied. If you want to learn more, please contact me and I would be glad to get you in touch with the folks over at VideoIQ. 1) Humans vs Animals - That’s what we do. The product is extremely good at properly categorizing non-human objects. Occasionally a large animal (deer, etc) may be temporarily mis-identified as a human if it is approaching the camera head-on, this is usually not an issue when combined with other rule or ROI factors (such as a dwell time in combination with an ROI). VideoIQ’s approach is different. We look for patterns in the pixels that match the objects we are trying to detect. *Remember that our current analytic implementation is for – people, vehicles, suspicious objects. This is our core competency; we have made it plug and play. 2) Weather and 3) Lighting - Our analytics algorithms have been specifically adapted over 7 years of development to be immune to the factors that affect other video analytics solutions. This includes lighting changes, weather (snow, rain, etc. in the field of view causing lots of pixel changes), and gradual scene changes (ie: seasonal changes of leaves on trees, growth of foliage, etc). Our analytics self-calibrate by observing moving objects in the scene and comparing them to our pattern database. Because we use a pattern-match approach, things like lighting weather, etc are not a factor, as these issues do not alter the overall “patternisticâ€

Here is a real life install with the Video IQ cameras and how they are limited in their "False Alarms". Highland Builders in the Boston, MA area has deployed 1-4 iCVR cameras at their higher risk sites to monitor daytime activity and generate alerts for activity on the property after hours. Many of their clients have large properties in areas where there is wildlife activity. This, along with some construction debris that can blow in the wind, prevents the use of simple video motion detection, as the false alarm rate would be excessive. As construction progresses, the camera mounting location is sometimes moved to a different point on the property. A solution that required constant recalibration would be cumbersome to maintain. The iCVR camera installs quickly, requires no complex setup, and provides a reliable mechanism to receive after-hours alerts or to allow the builder to check on his crews throughout the day.

I would use something like the NVS480 or NVS480R from Inscape Data to give the analog cameras the ability to do IP. From there, the customer can use the IP Video Viewer and Recorder Software to stream the video to a server. Then it would be just a matter of making the server(s) available to the main office. The NVS480 & NVS480R each support up to 4 cameras. It would be best to have the servers available at the locations for bandwidth purposes for recording the videos if that is something the customer wants.

I highly recommend the VideoIQ products as you can set parameters for what you want the camera to look for. It turns on only when the progamed event happens saving bandwidth and need for someone to watch over the screens 24/7. It will then send out an alert of a breach of that parameter. PM me for more info.

PM about getting my contact info. WAV is a distributor like Northern Video offering many wireless AP's and IP Cameras. We are located in Aurora, IL just North of you. We would be glad in assisting you in getting you up and running and a little help installing if needed .

Try looking at the Inscape Data product line. They have cameras specially made for wireless installs. They even have a fairly inexpensive wireless AP. PM me for pricing as we offer that product at my company WAV.
