Eagle Eye Networks introduces analytics to the Eagle Eye Cloud Security Camera VMS

Eagle Eye Networks has released the first phase of its video analytics platform, which offers users line crossing, intrusion detection and object counting functions within the Eagle Eye Cloud Security Camera VMS.

Businesses needn’t necessarily replace existing cameras to install Eagle Eye Analytics, because it will function on any camera – including analogue variants – that is supported by the Eagle Eye Cloud Security Camera VMS.

Here are some advantages that the platform offers by dint of being cloud-based, according to Eagle Eye Networks:

Cloud benefits

• Rapid deployment
• Users needn’t install additional hardware or software to access the analytics, which are activated from the web dashboard or mobile app
• No requirement for on-site technicians, remote project management or system replacement
• Available to customers for as little as $4-5 per camera, per month

Analytics functions

• Line crossing. Detects when an object crosses a virtual line. Users can specify direction and can receive notifications. Useful for receiving notifications when a security boundary (eg a fence, restricted area or one-way road) is crossed. Also well suited to monitoring building entrances, loading docks and parking lots.
• Intrusion detection. Detects when an object encroaches into an area defined by the customer, generating an instant notification.
• Object counting. Counting how many objects cross a line in both directions, object counting is useful for counting cars as well as people. Total daily count and current count delta are displayed.

Offering benefits beyond just security, the analytics generates meaningful insights from which businesses – especially retailers – can optimise processes and enhance customer experience.

Eagle Eye Networks says

“The Eagle Eye Cloud Security Camera VMS Analytics are a true cloud solution that are available on demand, per camera, instantly activated, and customers are only charged for what they use,” says Eagle Eye Network’s founder and CEO, Dean Drako. “Over the next few years, customers will have the option to turn on more sophisticated analytics as Eagle Eye Networks’ cloud-based model leads the physical security industry in making analytics more functional and more accessible.”

A customer says

If cloud-based solutions appeal to large enterprises on account of their rapid scalability, then smaller businesses that choose them often do so because they unburden them of so many system management and maintenance tasks.

Aaron Diaz, owner of Gulf Coast Hardware stores in Southwest Florida, explains how he intends to deploy the new analytics platform: “Our store is nearly 6,000 square feet with additional outside retail areas and I’m really excited about the ability to receive alerts based on activity in areas I specify. The counting will come in handy for me to gain a better understanding of the number of visitors (daily), who may or may not make a purchase.”
