Unlock new possibilities with built-in advanced analytics
Every Managed Network Edge smart camera goes beyond capturing footage to transforming video streams into actionable business intelligence. By leveraging cutting-edge AI and machine learning, the platform delivers advanced analytics. It empowers you to make informed decisions, optimize operations and enhance safety across your organization.
Motion detection and search capabilities: Our smart cameras are equipped with highly sensitive motion detection, capable of identifying and isolating specific movement events in real time. Motion search allows you to quickly locate relevant video footage, eliminating the need to sift through hours of recordings.
- Isolate key motion events.
- Summarize activity in a single motion with Motion Recap.
- Easily export important video segments.
Motion heatmaps: Heatmaps provide a visual representation of activity hotspots for understanding traffic flow in retail environments, customer waiting areas or high-activity zones in your facility. The data helps you optimize your layout and improve safety measures.
- Identify hot spots, patterns and trends.
- View video segments hour by hour of day by day.
- Generated entirely from metadata.
Object detection and classification: Monitor specific objects like people and vehicles with powerful object detection and classification capabilities. The system automatically categorizes these objects, providing insights into traffic patterns, security incidents, or operational inefficiencies.
- Automatically detect and track people and vehicles.
- Identify movement patterns and detect suspicious activity.
- Track object movement over time for actionable insights.
People counting and presence:2 Accurately count people, monitor occupancy and foot traffic and track vehicle movement on your premises to better manage customer queues, ensure compliance with occupancy limits and optimize space utilization.
- Get precise counts of people entering and exiting areas.
- Monitor zone usage for better resource allocation.
- Generate foot traffic and occupancy trend reports.
Attribute search filters:3 Use attribute filters to quickly and easily filter motion events by color of clothing, vehicle make and model and the “find similar clips” function.
- Search by the color of a person’s clothing.
- Search by vehicle make and color.
2. People counting and presence is available for all second-generation and third-generation cameras; advanced people counting is only available for MV33 and MV93 series cameras.
3. Attribute search feature is only available with the MV13M and MV63 series cameras.
