Intelligent Video Encoder Series

The ioibox series from ioimage includes a range of intelligent video encoders that enhance standard security cameras and systems by infusing powerful video analytics that automate indoor and outdoor video surveillance, scenario detection, and alarm event responses. Each ioibox is a DSP-based device with built-in selfsustained video analytics for powerful automated detection and autonomous tracking of intruders, suspicious baggage, stopped vehicles, removed items and more. Providing hybrid connectivity, ioiboxes convert analog video into MPEG-4 streaming over IP, as well simultaneously outputs analog video with graphical overlay features.

Rule-driven video analytics

	intrusion detection automatically detects and alarms on forbidden directional movement with three flexible options to choose from including detection of human and vehicle movement in controlled areas, tripwire (single or multi-segment lines), and fence trespassing
	loitering provides an alarm when a person remains in an area for a prolonged period of time. Offers an adjustable alert time for different scenarios, alerts of suspicious behavior in crowded areas, crowd gathering, squatting, trespassing and soliciting
	unattended baggage detection automatically detects and alarms on the abandonment of baggage or objects in controlled areas
	stopped vehicle detection automatically detects and alarms on the presence of a stopped vehicle in an area where parking/standing is a violation
	object removal detection automatically detects and alarms on the sustained removal of objects or products from their given location
	autonomous ptz tracking self-driven vision-guided tracking of a person or vehicle by commanding the pan tilt and zoom of a PTZ camera to assure a constant visual on the target without the assistance of additional stationary cameras

Advantages

• Creates invisible fence capabilities without the costs of fence installation and hardware or the degradation of aesthetics
• Provides wide-area detection that can alert security of suspicious behavior inside and outside of the perimeter
• Provides PTZ camera uninterrupted tracking and automatic camera handoff that follows moving objects
• Provides better coverage than straight-line detectors or point sensors, such as PIR, fence sensors, ground sensors, smart fences, etc.
• Provides instant video confirmation and additional information for assessment of an alarm event
• Can be used on a wireless network reducing deployment and infrastructure costs
• Automatic responses provide instant deterrent and remediation capabilities that can prevent escalation
• Built-in stand-alone video analysis outperforms high-maintenance network dependant solutions that share processing resources, use up bandwidth, and suffer from network latency
• On-alarm video-display reduces the need for fulltime displaying and constant watching of unchanging video

Simplicity

• Easy to install, sets up in minutes - intelligent video detection is configured using a web browser or optional control software
• Automatically adjusts for best detection at all times – no ongoing configuration required
• Fully-embedded stand-alone units – no PC required

Performance

• High probability of detection while maintaining a remarkably low false alarms rate
• Detects intruders under harsh weather conditions, low visibility and poor lighting
• Detects camouflaged intruders, extremely slow progression (as slow as 1 ft/5 min), and burst movements
• Superior non-flat detection sees objects in 3D-scape and at great distances for reliable detection
• Supports pre-alarm recording for capturing the moments before an alarm

Reliability

• Certified by the Israeli Defense Forces and by leading testing laboratories
• Field-proven with thousands of units deployed since 2003 protecting nuclear facilities, government sites, petrochemical factories, airports and sea-ports
• Robust DSP-based Intelligent video edge device, no central PC processing required
• Ignores false alarms generated by small animals, swaying branches, cloud shadows, light changes, rain, snow and trivial movements in the scenery

Highlights

• Intelligent video and network video encoder in one, operates both as a stand-alone unit or as part of an integrated network configuration
• Built-in high-performance self-sustained video analytics
• High resolution low-latency MPEG-4 audio and video streaming
• Hybrid support for both analog and IP network streaming MPEG-4 architectures –includes audio, video and indication of the cause of an alarm with on screen display overlays
• Integrated with existing stationary and Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras
• Two-way audio capabilities
• On-alarm recording to any network PC featuring continuous, event driven and scheduled recording
• Performs predefined actions upon detected events
• Built-in HTML web server for access, configuration, and viewing through a network via a standard web browser
• Maintains Quality of Service (QoS): automatically optimizes network quality of service for one or more units, adjusting audio and video streams to bandwidth, traffic characteristics and priority
• Supports remote field-deployment with easy configuration and software upgrades over a network
• Non-PC based processing provides better system reliability and avoids network latency that slows detection
