Just seeing may not be enough. CCTV cameras seen in urban settings to ‘eyes’, while the analytics applied to the video feed serving as the ‘brain’. As such, lacking video analytics, relying solely on human opinion to watch streams would not make sense in this age of technology.

London-based IHS Markit estimates that there are 770 million CCTV security cameras in use today, which are slated to cross the one billion mark by 2021.This number of uses indicates that it will grow the video analytics market to reach $ 11 billion by 2025. There are many solution providers on computer vision video surveillance in the current market. Just like Xena Vision Ipsotek is one of the biggest visionaries in this field. Ipsotek was established in the UK in 2001. Building on experience from over 600 projects and advances in technology, the system has continued to evolve. Advanced machine-learning, background estimation, and movement-based models have been incorporated into the system. Founder Kevın Lomax describes Ipsotek as a technology company that uses artificial intelligence for Cctv video analytics to increase security.

Video analytics is a vital solution that can be integrated into every sector of developing technology. A video analytics technology can be developed where there is a living thing and any risk that may arise from it. While surveillance and comprehension are the primary use cases, it is worth mentioning the uses for video analytics. In this sense, Xena Vision and Ipsotek produce many similar solutions.

An airport will likely have more than 3,000 surveillance cameras recording simultaneously. These are very important for reviewing events, but at least 1000 people will be required to keep track of them in real time. Even if this is done completely correctly, it will be inevitable to overlook a detail in the slightest distraction. Besides surveillance of passengers, crowd management, and detection of abandoned objects and harmful substances, video analytics can be used for monitoring critical infrastructures such as cargo depots, hangars, runway health, and surrounding areas for preventing illegal entry. While Integrated Cameras capture the feed indoors, drones fitted with cameras are being used for monitoring external assets.

It is not surprising that companies are trying to automate this development process. Video Analytics, which has been thought to be an empty dream for a long time, tries to make sense of all these images through companies such as Xena Vision and Ipsotek. These systems must interpret small changes in the color of each pixel in order to immediately detect, classify, and track everything that moves. It should be smart enough to reduce animals and moving plants to avoid false alarms. It must be adaptable to snow, rain, intense glare from the sun, reflections.

As the video analytics industry moves towards standardized solutions, Xena Vision and Ipsotek’s systems work differently. Both have maintained a customer-centric approach, and instead of limiting users to a list of analytics rules like ‘loafing’, they design each rule according to customer needs and camera views. This creates a custom template that can be quickly applied to hundreds or thousands of cameras.

Xena Vision adds a smart feature to day-to-day cameras as well as vision. This will increase the importance of video analytics used from airports to nuclear facilities and safe cities and maximize the benefits of the developing new era.
