Early and accurate detection are key to properly responding to events and these intelligent video applications help to make that possible and are a big reason why intelligent video is used.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Video Motion Detection<\/h2>\n<p>Video motion detection (VMD) has been around the block a few times.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the veteran intelligent video appliction.\u00a0 The original and most widely used feature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As such,\u00a0VMD is now the foundation for\u00a0advanced intelligent video applications like people counting, digital fences, object tracking, license plate recognition, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.securitysales.com\/Blog\/Under-Surveillance\/Story\/2011\/01\/Panasonic-President-Sees-Industry-Getting-a-Facial-Recognition-Lift.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">facial recognition<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Video motion detection prioritizes video recordings by only\u00a0higlighting the video when changes occur.\u00a0\u00a0This\u00a0saves on storage space and bandwidth by not having to record everything making searching for occurences easier as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Camera Tampering<\/h2>\n<p>Camera tampering alarms in an intelligent video system work great in applications where vandalism is a threat such as schools, prisons, subway stations or other transportation hubs.<\/p>\n<p>Camera tampering detection will notify you when the camera&#8217;s view is obstructed (spray painted or covered), out of focus, or re-positioned so that potential threats do no got undetected.<\/p>\n<p>Either someone does not want to be seen by the camera or occasionally the camera could be unintentionally redirected or covered.\u00a0 Whether it&#8217;s vandalism or simply an accident, it&#8217;s important to have this detection so that hours, days, or months go by and you&#8217;ve been recording nothing of value.<\/p>\n<h2>Image Enhancement<\/h2>\n<p>One of the issues\u00a0with video surveillance from <a title=\"outdoor ip cameras\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ipcamerasupply.com\/outdoor-ip-cameras\" target=\"_blank\">outdoor ip cameras <\/a>is that they captures only as well as the weather cooperates.\u00a0 Rain and snow, fog and smoke, shadows and bright sunlight can severly affect image quality.<\/p>\n<p>When adjusting brightness and contrast only do so much, intelligent video image enhancing algorithms step in, in real-time, to analyze the images and rebuild them to\u00a0be as clean, clear, and crisp as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Advanced Audio Detection<\/h2>\n<p>Having audio integrated into your surveillance simply gives you more information about a situation. Many times something is brought to our attention first by what we hear, not what we see. Car alarms, gunshots, breaking glass, and screams will not be recognized by a surveillance camera without audio. With 360\u00b0 coverage, an event happening behind a camera can still be detected.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way that an IP camera can analyze video, they can intelligently analyze audio as well. As noted above, audio can hear what the video cannot see. <a title=\"ip camera audio\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.ipcamerasupply.com\/uncategorized\/ip-camera-advanced-audio-detection\" target=\"_blank\">IP camera audio detection<\/a> complements video motion detection very well because it reacts to events in areas that are too dark for the video motion detector to pick up on.<\/p>\n<h2>More Advanced Applications<\/h2>\n<p>Next time I&#8217;ll examine the advanced intelligent video applications.\u00a0 The ones that are based on the classic video motion detection such as object counting, people counting, crowd detection, object tracking, digital fences, and license plate recognition to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned but, in the meantime if you have any questions we&#8217;d be happy to help you.\u00a0 Please call us at (866) 885-4853.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier I talked about what intelligent video is and why it is used.\u00a0 This post tackles\u00a0how intelligent video applications are used.
