Intelligent Video Analytics

Smarter Video,
Tighter Security

Honeywell's video analytics suite analyses the

behaviour of individuals and vehicles to provide real-time alarms and search
tools that enhance manned and unmanned video surveillance systems.

This unique, patented software automatically:

Distinguishes between humans, vehicles and other objects.
Tracks up to 20 targets in each camera view.
Reports more than 50 actionable events and behaviours.
Delivers real-time alarms: local voice/visual notification, relay closure for integration
with alarm panels, e-mail, mobile-phone text messages, and Remote Network Client.
Offers data mining capabilities to enable end users to spot trends and modify
operations to maximise security.

Key features:
Enables user-defined event and alarm settings for each camera view.
Remote Client allows full distributed system access regardless of location.
Powerful search tools offer an instantaneous method of searching and locating
incident video captured by digital video recorders and network video recorders.
By combining user-friendly smart indexing with interactive retrieval tools,
Active Alert enables rapid search, review and filtering of selected video incidents.
Flexible query system allows the user to specify a combination of alarm or event
types, object types or cameras, within any target time range.

Sample applications:

Sterile Zone Surveillance

The analytics suite

includes:
Active Alert Base:
Identifies and classifies the most
common user-defined events and
behaviours, and provides basic
perimeter intrusion detection.
Active Alert Standard:
All the benefits of Active Alert Base,
plus tracking of up to 20 objects in
a scene and automatically alarming
on more than 35 different events,
incidents and behaviours.

Person Counting

Active Alert Premium:

All the benefits of Active Alert
Standard, plus additional analytics
for high-risk facilities and locations
such as abandoned object,
removed object and possible theft
functionality.
People Counter:
Powerful traffic flow measurement
with real-time or periodic reporting.

Vehicle Monitoring

Abandoned Baggage

Smart Impressions:
Smart video solutions optimise
operations by analysing individual
customer and vehicular activities
and traffic patterns.
See back page for a detailed
overview of these packages.

Our unique solution automatically detects, analyses and classifies the behaviours of people and
vehicles as they move through a scene. It significantly reduces false alarms by suppressing
environmental triggers such as rain, snow, shadows, reflections, flying birds, and waving trees.
It also provides instantaneous histories of scene activity against user-selected parameters to enable
fast interactive searches on site and/or remotely.

Key benefits:
Greatly increases event detection accuracy while virtually eliminating false alarms.
Vastly improves video effectiveness while reducing total cost of ownership.
Increases the number of cameras per operator, dramatically reducing human monitoring
costs.
Retrieves incidents rapidly in seconds or minutes via comprehensive built-in search tools.
Organises data for easy auditing and rapid event analysis by event type, time, event
sequence, or assigned priority using a highly indexed databaseregardless of
whether you have 4 cameras or 400.
Significantly expands video storage capacity.
