In a groundbreaking development for video surveillance, AXIS Object Analytics, a state-of-the-art, edge-based video analytics application launched in 2023, is now available. This innovative tool, offered at no cost, is designed to enhance security systems by detecting and classifying humans and vehicles within a camera’s view.
Highlights of AXIS Object Analytics:
- Built-In Convenience: AXIS Object Analytics comes preinstalled on compatible cameras, eliminating the need for separate downloads. It requires firmware version 10.2 or higher for cameras with a Machine Learning Processing Unit (MLPU) and version 10.3 or higher for those with a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU).
- Simple Activation: To use AXIS Object Analytics, upgrade your firmware, navigate to the Apps section, activate, and open the application.
- Broad Compatibility: To verify if your camera is supported, please visit the Compatible Axis Cameras link.
Enhanced Capabilities with Vemcount Integration:
Numerous Axis cameras have been integrated with vemcount.app, with specific setup instructions available in our Knowledge Base: Axis Object Analytics FAQ.
Advantages for Various Applications:
With millions of Axis cameras already in use, this complimentary feature can significantly improve the utility of security cameras for both indoor and outdoor environments. Although the precision of people counting may not match that of overhead 3D sensors, AXIS Object Analytics delivers valuable data and insights using existing cameras.
- Smart Cities and Urban Planning: AXIS Object Analytics provides a cost-effective solution for gathering data on public space usage, including beaches, parks, trails, and bicycle paths. Additional sensors can be added over time to enhance accuracy.
- Street Monitoring: While detecting bicycles remains challenging, AXIS Object Analytics excels at identifying pedestrians, cars, trucks, buses, and other vehicles. With advancements in AI technology, we expect even greater accuracy in object detection.
A Complimentary Tool:
AXIS Object Analytics is designed to complement, not replace, 3D overhead counters. It offers an additional revenue stream for customers with existing cameras and introduces a new product for areas not covered by 3D sensors, particularly outdoors.
We are enthusiastic about the potential of this innovative feature to improve security and data analytics for our customers.
