45. The video analytic processing should be able to run on top of a server or to be virtualized using virtualization technologies.

46.The system can offer the following video analytic:

– Object Detection – identifies people, cars, busses, trucks, motorcycles and animals in a defined area/zone.

– Face recognition – an algorithm for human identification and verification, based on the facial recognition as well as the age and gender estimation. The algorithm creates a database of all faces captured by video cameras and lets you search the database for similar faces.

– License plate recognition – an algorithm for license plate recognition. Video streams can be processed to search for and recognize license plate numbers in the frame. These license plate numbers are saved to a database and associated with the relevant recorded video. The database is searchable. License plate numbers can be compared to lists in real time, with actions performed (or not performed) depending on whether or not a license plate is found in the list. Aside from license plates, system can recognize the make, model, and color of vehicle, as well as the country and direction of movement of the car.

– Traffic Analytics – intended for the calculation of intensity and determination of traffic structure classify the types of vehicles (car, bus, truck, bicycle, motorbike). It also counts people and provides statistical report with graphs and pies by hours, days, weeks, months.

– Crowd Detection – estimates the number of people within a given area in real time and triggers an alarm when a specified number of people (capacity) or a specified percentage of people (occupancy) is reached.

– Hard Hat Detection – detects people not wearing helmets, records video and sends alarms.

– Heat Map – color visual representation of data analysis of customer activity presented by color visual representation of data (warm and cold zones).

– Age & Gender Detection – determines the gender of customers and their approximate age by detecting and analyzing the faces of visitors.

– Motion Detection – captures any movement in the scene. The following rules can be applied: line crossing, loitering, intrusion, abandoned object, disappearance of an object.

– Smoke & Fire Detection – recognizes smoke and fire in the image.

– Smart Tracking System – search people by attributes (color of clothes, bag, hair, hat, gender, and age).

– Body Movement Detection – identifies a person in different positions: sitting, standing, walking, lying, getting up.

– Wagon Identification – detection and recognition of wagon UIC numbers.

– Smart Parking – management of parking lot, detection of license plates of entering vehicles, recognition of model, direction of movement, and payment status of the car.

47.It is possible to setup several “lists” in the database of the analytics platform. A list contains License plates or faces and related data.

48. The analytics platform detects license plates or faces in the live stream provided by the cameras and shall match them against the license plates and faces stored in data-base of the analytics platform

49. When there is a match, an event should be sent by the system to the video management system. Additional data such as the camera and the time of detection should be included in the event provided to the video management system.

50. When the event provided by the analytics platform triggers an alarm in the video management system, the following content shall appear in the alarm panel of the VMS:

– A cropped extract of the original image.

– The corresponding face or license plate taken from the database of the analytics platform to allow the operator to compare the captured image with the reference image from data-base

On this popup, just click Done.

NB – Turning on Open this page in Internet Explorer mode next time will save you needing to repeat step 4 the next time you browse to this page.

You will see the Internet Explorer icon on the left side of the address bar to show that you are now viewing the page in IE mode.

You can quickly add the URLs / IP addresses of other cameras that require IE to a list that opens in IE mode automatically.

To do so, just go back to:

Settings and more (Alt + F) → Settings → Default Browser

And click the Add button beside Internet Explorer mode pages.

This will bring up a popup in which you can enter each URL – click Add again to add it to the list.

Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) Being Retired on June 15th 2022 – How Will I Access My Hikvision System?

As we have been aware for many years, Windows has been slowly running down support for Internet Explorer. Last year they confirmed that IE11 would be completely retired from Windows 10 on June 15th 2022, after this date IE11 desktop application will no longer work and users will be redirected to use Edge.

Lots of users will also be aware that Hikvision products have been reliant on IE for browser access for many years, even with our and other users’ repeated requests for a complete solution for Hikvision products to work in modern browsers the solution has been slow coming.

With the June 15th date fast approaching Hikvision has released the attached documents that explain 3 main methods for browser access going forward and which models support which method, the methods are listed below:

1. Non-plug-in service (For modern browser access, not all models support this method)

2. Local service (Plug-in required)

3. IE compatibility mode on Edge browser

Some of the oldest Hikvision models may not support any of the above methods, if that is the case then you will have to use Hikvision’s desktop VMS software – iVMS-4200 – to access your Hikvision devices.

This is not the simple, clean solution we were hoping for from Hikvision and we are sure there will be issues discovered along the way, but it is a first step and hopefully means that all Hikvision users will have some way to access their systems going forward.

If you do run into any problems or have any questions please share them below and we will try to get the answers for you.
