LILIN Americas, an entity of IP video provider Merit LILIN serving North, Central and South America, today launched a new series of IP cameras featuring on-board Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS) analytics, marking a significant milestone in the expansion of the company’s IP portfolio. Six cameras will make up the new LILIN IVS iMEGAPRO™ Series, including indoor and outdoor models in bullet, dome and box form factors.
“Cameras with On-board analytics create more manageable and versatile IP systems by processing the video analytics at the camera instead of using a typical recorder with built in analytics that takes up recorder processing power by individual camera channel” said Joe Cook, Vice President/General Manager of LILIN Americas. “By incorporating this breakthrough technology into our IVS iMEGAPRO cameras, suspicious events or behaviour will minimize the number of false alarms by focusing on specific events through the use of video algorithms processed at the camera. Having less false positive events recorded will speed up the review of events minimising the time it takes to investigate alarm activity”. The systems integrator is able to program the camera to send data over the network based only on specific IVS alarm events freeing up bandwidth on already burdened connections to remote sites that may require the use of a cellular or other low bandwidth network.
