By themselves, cameras with Bosch Intelligent Video Analysis make your surveillance setup more effective. But as part of a complete system they bring a wealth of additional benefits.
Capturing details in metadata
IVA captures data on everything that happens within the active areas of each monitored scene. Content analysis information, in the form of metadata, is generated and stored with the video images. The metadata contains details on all objects within, entering or leaving the monitored areas. And the analysis doesn’t stop with live scenes, Bosch IVA can also provide event recognition during playback of recorded video. The recorded metadata, comprised of simple text strings describing specific image details, is much smaller and easier to search through than the recorded video images. By searching the metadata with smart search facilities like those provided with an Internet search engine, IVA quickly takes you to the relevant footage without having to scan through the entire recording.
Real forensic search
What if something happens in a scene that your system was not set up to detect? Bosch IVA forensic search offers you a unique solution – simply review the archive video using new detection criteria. With our Intelligent Video Analysis forensic search, you can search for different events compared to those detected during live viewing. For example, you can reconfigure the system to detect a ‘left object’ when searching your archived video, even if the system was not originally configured to detect this event.
