  • ONVIF Profile T Certification
  • Built-in Help file for finding the necessary information on setting up and working with the VideoNet platform

 

 

FACE RECOGNITION MODULE

 

Identification of the person by the image of the face is the most demanded technology of artificial intelligence in the field of security systems. The face recognition module built into VideoNet PSIM can be used both for solving traditional tasks, such as controlling access to a site or detecting offenders, as well as for implementing unique and individual solutions thanks to the PSIM concept.

 

The use of face recognition module:

 

  • Identification of the person (comparison of the person with the base of employees, regular customers, criminals, etc.)
  • Access control to protected sites. Identity verification for granting access
  • Search for a person in the video archive of the video surveillance system

 

 

Algorithm of the face recognition module:

 

The face recognition module in VideoNet PSIM in real-time automatically selects the face image that is optimal for recognition, stores and recognizes it, comparing it with the reference images in existing databases. For example, it gives commands: a warning to the police or security services about the appearance of offenders in a protected area, sends a message to the manager about the arrival of a VIP client, gives a command to controllers of actuators when using a face as an identifier of an access control system.

 

Features of the face recognition module:

 

 

  • Automatic real-time face detection
  • Real-time comparing of faces from a video stream with a face database
  • Perform actions on the result of recognition: allow or deny access to the site, call / inform the security service, issue an alarm, other, previously regulated actions
  • Face search in the archive by specified parameters: photo, age, gender, time and date

 

 

Convenience and automatization of the operator allows you to:

 

  • See the result of the comparison of faces detected in real time with stored face databases
  • Generate new databases based on detected and recognized faces with saving of information on the place and time of appearance of the person, links to the video clip in the archive
  • Manually create a face database for access to the site or premises
  • Search for people in the archive by specified parameters: photos, age, gender, time and date, emotions
  • Receive notifications for face recognition results
  • Automatically inform the security service about the fact that a certain person has appeared in the control zone or about the result of searching for the desired face in the video archive
  • Form reports
  • Automatically count faces
  • Generate alarm events when face is substituted by a photo

 

 

Person classification by face image:

 

Using the image of a person, following characteristics of a person can be determined: gender, age, emotions (joy, sadness, etc.). The definition of human characteristics is called classification. The classification of a person by the face image is used in many areas:

  • Analysis of the age structure of the audience, for example of a store or a restaurant
  • Analysis of the gender composition of the audience
  • Analysis of customer service quality
  • Search for people in the video archive by photo, gender, age, emotions

 

 

Access control to the site by face recognition

 

VideoNet PSIM allows you to organize a single solution for access control systems, video surveillance systems and face recognition systems. The face recognition module in VideoNet PSIM uses the object identification by face recognition, analyzes the image and makes automatic decisions, giving commands to controllers of executive devices.

 

Access control system with face recognition

 

  • Automatically provides access to premises based on face recognition result
  • Ensures access to specially protected areas only to authorized persons
  • Uses the face recognition result as the main or additional access control identifier (card + face, only face, face + fingerprint)
  • Prevents unlawful intrusion of the site and helps in the search for offenders
  • Detects outsiders on site and generates alarms in real time

 

 

SUPPORT FOR HIKVISION BIOMETRIC READERS OF FINGERSPRINTS

 

 

In the release VideoNet PSIM SP4, Hikvision's fingerprint readers support is organized. Support for fingerprint readers in VideoNet allows you to enter or delete biometric templates directly from the VideoNet ACS environment.

VideoNet PSIM combines fingerprint identification with other identification methods, including biometric. For access to particularly important areas of the facility, multi-factor identification can be organized, for example, identification by fingerprint plus access card or recognized face.

DS-K1201EF, DS-K1201MF fingerprint readers are supported for controllers DS-K2601, DS-K2602, DS-K2604.

 

 

SUPPORT OF THE GATE ACS CONTROLLERS

 

VideoNet 9.1 SP4 supports Gate access controllers: Gate-8000, Gate-8000 Ethernet, Gate-4000, Gate-8000/4000-Parking

 

The VideoNet PSIM security platform enables you to build a solution with multi-factor identification using the controllers QUEST, GATE, HIKVISION, Bolid. VideoNet PSIM allows you to use ACS controllers from different manufacturers at one site and manage them within a single system. Select different controllers for the access group and for the premises. Restrict access to more important areas of the site using more functional controllers with double identification (card + code) or on the basis of biometric features, accompany mode, or duress opening function. And at the same time, use general reporting and schedules for all controllers, apply data titration from the ACS system to the video image to get all the evidence in one file.

 

 

SUPPORT OF THE VIZIT INTERCOMS

 

For interaction with VIZIT equipment, support for intercom control units BUD-485 and BUD-485-R is realized. Intercom control units are connected directly to VideoNet. In VideoNet, you can adjust the parameters of an intercom, load a schedule, and send commands to open/close a lock.

The solution is useful for organizations that serve multi-apartment residential complexes. The solution based on VideoNet allows you to add new keys to VIZIT intercoms remotely, without going to the site. VideoNet PSIM allows you to combine all the security systems of a residential complex into a single system, which includes a video surveillance system, access control to the facility, restricted access to the staircase and the floor, security and fire alarms, perimeter security, car entry to the territory by recognizing licence plates, and create a single dispatch center.

 

 

SUPPORT OF THE ONCAM FISHEYE CAMERAS

 

Support of the Fisheye Oncam cameras was added. This functionality allows you to convert a spherical image from a Fisheye camera or from a camera with a panoramic lens into a flat image. VideoNet removes spherical distortion, and the camera image on the operator’s workplace takes the form of panorama wide, panorama double and panorama narrow.

Oncam has a reputation as one of the most innovative companies in today's IP video surveillance market. The company specializes in 360-degree and panoramic intellectual IP video surveillance and uses its own award-winning technologies.

 

ACQUIRED ONVIF PROFILE T CERTIFICATE

 

Starting with VideoNet 9.1 SP4 ONVIF Profile T is officially supported in the VideoNet PSIM security platform. ONVIF Profile T provides more functions than Profile S, and has enhanced video streaming and advanced features for streaming metadata and analytics.

Profile T supports the H.265 video compression codec, which has a higher compression ratio for video from cameras. Using the H.265 codec reduces the size requirements for disk arrays for storing high-resolution videos, and also reduces the requirements for communication channels and leads to a decrease in the total cost of owning a video surveillance system. Profile T standardizes analytics, streaming metadata, working with bidirectional audio and other important functions.
