Let us introduce to you the powerful Eocortex update which will make video surveillance by times more efficient and user-friendly. The new version of the software was created to save time of system administrators and bring you even more benefits thanks to the novel set of features and video analytics.
NEW PRODUCT FOR MANAGING LARGE-SCALE VIDEO SYSTEMS
Eocortex Union
Union is a platform for creating large-scale distributed video surveillance systems based on Eocortex. It is an independent software solution that permits to combine any number of units - independent video surveillance systems - for ease of monitoring and response. The configuration of each unit implies the existence of a main server. Thus, if one of the constituent systems temporarily fails, the rest of the units will continue to operate.
Eocortex Union is compatible with ST, Enterprise and ULTRA licenses. At the same time, the units can be deployed using different Eocortex licenses.
The novel feature allows to administer all the components of a video surveillance system using one account. The product provides a multi-level system of access rights that permits to limit the access of branch employees to cameras and data from other systems.
Eocortex Union is designed for video monitoring centers, private security companies, Smart and Safe City projects, retail chains, groups of companies, banks and pharmacies. The product license is purchased separately. Its cost depends on the number of cameras in the video system.
NEW VIDEO ANALYTICS
Uniform detector
Workforce management at manufacturing and construction sites has become easier.
The Uniform Detector module will help control the movement of employees between production workshops and areas of the enterprise. The system generates an alarm when a person not wearing the required outfit or a person not authorized to enter the area crosses the control line. In addition, the module will allow to prevent job-related injuries and safeguard your business from fines for the absence of personal protection equipment.
The software solution verifies if the employees are wearing protective clothing in the supervised area: it identifies hard hats, safety vests or uniform of the required color. It is possible to configure the detection of up to three colors, including fluorescent yellow, orange, and red, which conform to GOST.
If an employee's clothing does not comply with the regulations, Eocortex will notify the system operator or the responsible specialist about this by sending a message to messengers, e-mail or in the client application. All events are automatically recorded, allowing to quickly find a fragment of a video with a violation in the system archive.
The Uniform Detector is a follow-up of the Hard Hat Detection module. The algorithm for detecting hard hats has been redesigned, making the solution much more accurate. An additional license is required for the module to work.
Tracking. The ability to select the type of vehicle for tracking
The Tracking module can now classify vehicles. Now Eocortex can notify its user about the crossing of the control line or a long stay in the secured area of vehicles of a specified type.
The solution recognizes:
- passenger cars,
- trucks,
- motorcycles.
For user convenience, each category of objects will be highlighted with a frame of a certain color with a corresponding legend in the Eocortex desktop application.
Neural network-based fire detector
The fire detector has received new "brain" – the neural networks have replaced classic computer vision algorithms. The solution now operates much more accurately: its sensitivity has increased 1.4 times, and the number of false alarms has been minimized. A graphics card is required to use the new fire detector.
The previous version of the smoke and fire detector will also be available to users. If the technical capabilities of the system allow, it will be possible to change the operation algorithm of the solution in the module settings.
Note that it is more efficient to use a smoke and fire detector together with a fire alarm system: such a solution will allow to instantly send notifications about a contingency situation to emergency services.
EASE OF USE COMES FIRST
Supports 4 video streams from a camera
Increase the functionality and performance of your video surveillance system through the ability to use up to four video streams from an IP camera. Selection of the frame rate and resolution for each video stream permits to flexibly configure the video surveillance system and use the most suitable stream for performing certain tasks, as well as transfer the optimal streams from the server to client applications, and thereby save the resources of the server and the workstations.
Video streams can be used for the following:
- broadcasting video to the operator's workstation, mobile and web clients;
- recording to the archive;
- as a stream for video analysis.
Multithreading support is particularly important for large-scale video systems, since it can significantly reduce the cost of stationary equipment.
Eocortex client application for Linux
Eocortex has released a beta version of a client application for working with video surveillance systems operating under Linux. In this version, the users will have access to the full functionality of the software: from configuring the equipment to viewing images from cameras. Eocortex has been tested on Astra Linux Common Edition and Ubuntu operating systems of versions 20.04 and above. Please bear in mind that earlier it was possible to interact with a video system deployed on Linux servers only via a web client.
This novelty will allow to implement Eocortex at the facilities of those companies that are obliged to follow the requirements of the state program of import substitution in the sphere of information technology.
Real-time video analytics in the web client
The data of video analysis modules is now available both in the Eocortex application for personal computers and in the browser. In the Web client, the users can work with the visitor counting and face recognition modules. This allows to monitor business performance from anywhere in the world, including when working on Linux or MacOS.
Fragment mode
The fragment mode improves the convenience and speed of working with the video archive: it allows to quickly view the recordings for the desired period of time. The step of fragments can be in the range from 5 minutes to 4 days: this parameter is specified in the settings. It doesn't take a long time to watch a large volume of video recordings anymore. With the fragment mode, you will definitely not miss an important event.
The user can independently adjust the duration of one fragment: from 5 minutes to 4 days. By default, this parameter is set to 1 hour. The fragment mode works only with the archive stored on the server.
Assigning a cell to an alarm monitor
Pay closer attention to the camera from which comes a large number of notifications in the alarm monitor mode. Assing the desired cell to track all activity in the frame - it will not close upon timeout. After the cause of the alarm is removed, the cell can be returned to normal mode.
Eva, show the archive.
Eva the virtual assistant learns all the time so that the users quickly get information from the video system without having to use a computer! In version 3.5, the voice assistant knows how to show the archive. To view the archived recordings, the user must give one of the appropriate commands: “Open archive”, “Show archive”, “Go to archive” or “Camera archive”, then name the camera and the required time.
Note that Eva is the very first voice assistant in the video surveillance industry. She “lives” in the Eocortex mobile application. You can communicate with the assistant in Russian and English using voice, text and by pressing the shortcut buttons. Among other things, Eva knows how to add new people to the database, notify when the required employee or visitor has arrived, and find the last location where the required person appeared in the field of view of cameras in the video archive.
New features of the face recognition module
We have received many suggestions from users of large-scale video systems regarding how to make working with the face recognition module more user-friendly. Some of them have been implemented in version 3.5:
• sorting the data of the face database by the date of adding or alphabetically;
• search for information in the face database using a photograph;
• group operations in the face database: adding/removing persons from a group, mass deleting of entries, etc.;
• receiving reports regarding the operation of the face recognition module in the PDF format.
NEW INTEGRATION
Integration with POS terminals
Eocortex can now work with POS terminals, the devices that issue receipts or other text information about financial settlements. The data coming from POS terminals to the video surveillance system can be viewed in real time and in the archive; the user can set up scripts and search for receipts using preset words. The solution allows to monitor cash transactions, identifying and recording violations and suspicious activities in the work of cashiers.
Eocortex works with POS terminals of any brands. The integration is available only on a Windows-based server and requires an additional license.
Eocortex 3.5 is already available for download. Updating software under current licenses is free of charge.
