Nowadays, most CCTV equipment manufacturers develop software to manage the images generated by surveillance cameras, whether they are digital or analogue cameras. This type of software is called VMS (Video Management Software). The main function of a VMS software is to manage the images and data (IVS) coming from the cameras, so that this information can be processed by operators or by automated procedures and provide a timely response to a particular event.
The capabilities of this type of software are growing every day, as today it allows us to integrate various physical security technologies such as intrusion systems, access control systems, fire systems or even BIM systems, which can converge on a single platform and make video surveillance systems more efficient.
Another widely used CCTV software in the world of CCTV is Video Analytics. Video Analytics is software that extracts useful information from video images, converting the video into data that can tell us something or send an alarm depending on the type of data. A very common video analytics is LPR (License Plate Recognition), which is responsible for identifying the license plates of a vehicle through an algorithm in charge of identifying and separating that data from the video.
Another very common analytic is VMD (Video Motion Detection), which simply reacts to any movement that exists in a given image. Grupo Covix can provide the CCTV software that best suits your needs, whether it is a simple VMS, or a complex video analytics that requires integration for a turnkey project.
