What analytics does a VMS come with as standard?

As standard nearly all of them bring what can be drawn on the image: motion detection, line crossing, entering a zone, an object left behind or removed, dwell time, and in many cases the basic distinction between a person and a vehicle. That covers a good part of the alerts a normal installation needs.

What usually comes separately, with its own licence or as a module, is whatever needs more processing: number plate reading, counting and occupancy, heat maps, searching by the characteristics of a person or a vehicle, facial recognition. And there is a third route that gets forgotten: the analytics that run inside the camera itself, which use no server, work with the network down and are usually enough when the problem is solved with a line and a zone.

The common limit of everything above is the same: they are rules over a field of view. They see what comes into their frame, they do not know what happened thirty seconds earlier on the camera next door, and they do not understand a situation that will not fit into a drawn rule. When what you need is an understanding of the scene and not a line, you move onto other ground, which is that of the systems built around exactly that. In the same house there is IRIS Neural, the NVMS from Infinity Neural, and we say so here because it is our own product and we would rather you found out by reading this line.

Where you can see it working.

On the IRIS Neural website, on real scenes.

All the questions.

Five hundred and forty-four, grouped by topic. Each with its own page.

See it working.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
