Hitachi Develops Smart CCTV Camera
Posted on Feb 1, 08 09:02 AM PDT
Hitachi of Japan has come up with a way to ease surveillance work, featuring a CCTV camera that relies on artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and prioritize just a handful of humans from an entire sea of them for closer inspection. This system is capable of taking feeds from up to 100 online cameras, transferring them to a PC for image processing and a central server that searches through video archives for comparable footage. Subsequently, four of the most important video streams will then be pulled out and displayed in high resolution on a monitor while the rest remain as thumbnails. The system uses face-recognition as well as behavior-analysis software to root out the potential troublemakers. Data load is kept at a manageable 70Mbps thanks to its quartet of main streams. Hopefully more testing will be done so that the profiling process won't be biased.

This camera is not an Hitachi camera- it's an ioimage multi megapixel intelligent surveillance camera - please either correct the caption or update the picture. Thank you

The proof is in the pudding - if the camera was any good Hitachi would have put image results on their website. A lot of these cameras require ideal conditions to function. www.AMW1.com
