6. Symphony Architecture • Dependencies: • MS .NET Framework 2.0 (32 / 64bit) • MS Data Access Components • MS Extendible SNMP Agent • OPC Core Components

7. Server: Data Organization • Configuration information stored in MS SQL Server Express

8. Server: Core Services

9. Server Farm • Distribute the work load of camera processing across several servers • Server Failover / Redundancy • Fail over camera processing from a ’down’ server to a ’redundant’ server • Devices, users, rules and alarms tied to the ‘farm’ not the server • All ’live’ and ’redundan’t servers run the same software services, share a license file and can potentially run the processing of any camera • Configuration data redundancy ... Server n Server 1 Server 2 Database Cluster (For configuration data) ... DB1 DB n Data Store NAS or SAN (Configuration Data)

10. Main View

11. Live View / Playback • Live & playback mode integrated in main view • Overlay • Tracking boxes, tracking paths, time, camera messages, etc. • Multiview • Can display up to 25 cameras simultaneously • >1 multiviews can be opened • Carousel • Loop through multiple cameras across multiple servers in a single view, pausing on each camera for a defined period of time.

12. PTZ • Mechanical PTZ • Camera Tour • Digital PTZ • Digital Tracking(Digitally zoom in on hot spots) • Support for Axis Joysticks

13. Analytics • Differenciate between foreground movement & environmental change • Process video and produce metadata used by search engine or rule engine • More than one analytic can be enabled per camera • Applications • Motion Tracking, Object Classification, People / Vehicle Counting, Virtual Fence, Alarm zone(s) / restricted areas, Left/Removed Object, Wrong Direction, Loitering, Dwell Time, Occupancy, Auto-PTZ Tracking, Automatic License Plate Recognition Rule Engine Alarms Video Engine Video Source Video Metadata Search Engine Search Results

14. Analytics: Three Key factors • 1. Selecting the right engine for different environment

15. Analytics: Three Key factors • 2. Camera placement & image quality

16. Analytics: Three Key factors • 3. Proper configurations • Typical configuration • Analysis FPS: Can be set lower than the record frame rate • Capture resolution • Analysis resolution • Motion mask • Perspective(Camera position) • used to help with object classification • configured once per camera • More than one analytic can be enabled per camera • One motion mask & perspective per analytic/preset(for PTZ cameras)

17. Analytics • Hardware requirements • Depending on: • Type of analytics running • Number of analytics running • Image size & frame rate • Typically 12 cameras can be analyzed on a single Intel Core2 Duo

18. Event Management • Rules • Uses meta-data created by video engine • Allows combination of sub-events • Events must occur in sequence/within a specified time period • Typical configurations • Alarm mask(zone), actions, alarm schedule • Many alarm masks can be set per analytic • More than one Rule can be enabled per analytic • Special Actions • Enable another rule • PTZ Auto-tracking • Launch external program on the server (no GUI) • OPC

19. Video Search • Event-driven Video Search • Pinpoint specific events by setting search parameters such as: • Search by time, location, activity • Review and export qualifying snippets of video • Export as .aira file (together with Symphony Player) • Export as MPEG files • Recurring Search

20. Reporting • On-demand business intelligence reports

21. Demo Session • A typical use cases • Add a camera • Configure analytics • Configure rules • Search • Report
