Smart VCA

AI-Powered Video Analytics on Edge

VIVOTEK Smart VCA is the next-generation video analytics suite running on VIVOTEK cameras for security applications. The on-board Smart VCA suite includes Intrusion Detection, Loitering Detection, Line Crossing Detection, Running Detection, Crowd Detection, Face Detection, Unattended Object Detection, and Missing Object Detection.

  • Advanced AI engine for people detection, dramatically reduces the adverse effects of distraction by small animals, light rain, lighting changes, etc.
  • Higher accuracy and fewer false alarms.
  • Multiple event rules for different application scenarios.
Deep Learning Technology

The core of VIVOTEK’s Smart VCA is a deep learning AI engine offering advanced accuracy in people detection compared with traditional rule-based designs. VIVOTEK took advantage of its extensive experience in the surveillance field and resulting vast image databases to develop a neural-network powered detection engine for the human form. Based on a database of human silhouettes and rapid responses via a pre-trained deep learning model, the smart engine instantly recognizes the appearance of human forms in the surveillance area. As humans are the objects of interest in the majority of video surveillance, the people-detection feature enables users to quickly configure their installation. With people-detection, only human activities will serve as event triggers, while swaying vegetation, vehicles passing by, or animal activities in the scene will be ignored. This helps reduce both false alarms as well as the time and effort taken for camera configuration.

Benefits
Intrusion Detection

VIVOTEK Intrusion Detection can be used to detect persons entering or leaving a virtual area within the camera’s field of view.

Example Application Scenarios:

  • Detect when a person enters a bank vault or school after hours.
  • Detect when a person leaves an emergency exit hallway and fire escape.
Loitering Detection

VIVOTEK Loitering Detection is used to detect a person or a group of people lingering in one area longer than a preset time threshold.

Example Application Scenarios:

  • Detect a person loitering at a walk-up or drive-up ATM lane.
  • Detect a person loitering in a high-theft area of a store.
Line Crossing Detection

VIVOTEK Line Crossing Detection detects a person or a group of people crossing a virtual trip-wire.

Example Application Scenarios:

  • Detect someone who enters a driveway, an entrance or an exit.
  • At a fenced boundary, detect when:
    1. Someone is close to the perimeter
    2. Someone has crossed the perimeter
Running Detection

VIVOTEK Running Detection can be used to detect the moving speed of a person in a scene. In surveillance applications, person(s) running at high speed in places such as campus, hospital, factory, shopping mall, or bank could potentially be an abnormal situation.

Example Application Scenarios:

  • A thief is running away in a shopping mall when people found and are chasing him. Running Detection can detect the running persons in the scene.
  • If a crime occurs in a parking lot, Running Detection analytic can quickly detect an individual running and provide an instant notification.
Crowd Detection
VIVOTEK Crowd Detection can be used to identify how many people there are in a given area. Stores and business' can then effortlessly manage social distances between customers, intelligently helping to alleviate the stress of managing customer congestion.

Example Application Scenarios:

  • Detect congestion when the number of people in a region is more than a set number and trigger an alarm.
  • Monitor a special area within which at most one person is allowed at any given time.
Face Detection

VIVOTEK Face Detection detects and tracks faces in the camera’s field of view.

Example Application Scenarios:

  • Detected and captured faces can be used for monitoring and evidence purposes.
Unattended Object Detection

VIVOTEK Unattended Object Detection detects unattended objects or objects left behind.

Example Application Scenarios:

  • Detect boxes placed in front of an emergency exit.
  • Detect objects left on subway tracks or platform, on a bridge, or in a bank lobby.

Missing Object Detection
VIVOTEK Missing Object Detection detects the removal of a predefined asset from a scene.

Example Application Scenarios:

  • In a campus setting, the Missing Object feature can be used to monitor high-risk areas, such as the administrative offices, computer labs, or science laboratories, for theft.
Restricted Zone Detection

VIVOTEK’s Restricted Zone Detection enhances security by monitoring and preventing unauthorized access to sensitive or controlled areas.

Application:

  • Unauthorized entry into high-security zones like dust-free rooms, data centers, and treasury departments
  • Gym entrances
  • Protecting botanical gardens from trampling
  • Hazardous or fenced-off areas
Parking Violation Detection

VIVOTEK’s Parking Violation Detection helps reduce illegal parking and traffic congestion by instantly alerting authorities to violations in real time.

Application:

  • Passenger pickup areas at bus stations, train stations, and airports
  • Illegal parking near fire hydrants
  • Enforcing no-parking zones around hospital emergency areas
  • Reducing the need for constant police patrols and lowering labor costs
Multiple Event Rules

Above the AI core, multiple event rules are provided to detect intrusion, persons loitering or running in a zone or crossing a line, objects missing and abandoned, or to detect faces from a crowd within the zone. These rules cover most of the typical security application requirements, and multiple rules can be applied to a single camera view.
