Citilog Intros Intelligent Real Time Video-Based Incident Detection Solution for North American Security, Safety and Transportation Markets.Anti-Intrusion Solution Provides 4D-Based Incident Detection That Can Be Used With Existing Infrastructure to Manage Traffic, Security and Safety Operations HAVERFORD, Pa. -- Citilog, a world leading provider of intelligent real time video monitoring and surveillance solutions for traffic, transportation, security and safety management, today announced MediaIntruder[TM], its intelligent incident detection software-based solution, is now available in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . MediaIntruder automatically detects in real time any indoor or outdoor intrusion activity using video streams from video surveillance cameras. It uses existing camera infrastructure for rapid deployment and lower total cost of operation while enabling effective incident and intrusion detection See IDS and IPS. in mission-sensitive indoor or outdoor environments. MediaIntruder is based on patented 4D (time and 3D analysis) full-frame video processing Video processing techniques are used in video codecs, video players and other devices. For example—commonly only design and video processing is different in TV sets of different manufactures. technology that is a key differentiator in Citilog's products. This technology enables the solution to reliably detect various types of intrusion, from simple intrusion detection in a 3D zone, to forbidden trajectories (movement from one place to another) detection. During an incident, the monitor displaying the video feed flashes the location of the incident in red, highlighting the specific image of the intrusion and providing alarm-based notification as well. This automation greatly reduces the risk of human-eyes not detecting the intrusion. With MediaIntruder, events are detected immediately and an alarm is instantaneously provided to operators. MediaIntruder provides traffic, security and related operations centers The facility or location on an installation, base, or facility used by the commander to command, control, and coordinate all crisis activities. See also base defense operations center; command center. with a fast detection of such events and with reliable alarms to enable quick and proactive action to incidents in time to potentially affect a more positive outcome. MediaIntruder allows the implementation of large scale anti-intrusion systems, where one single operator would normally not be able to monitor each video stream efficiently or effectively. Application features and ideal deployment environments include: * Intrusion detection indoor and outdoor * Perimeter surveillance * Residential area surveillance * Access control * Bridge pillar surveillance * Unauthorized entry within restricted or security-sensitive areas * Tunnels, ports, airports, bridges, sensitive industries, borders monitoring * Critical asset protection * Restricted area safety and security Based on more than 10 years of research and development, MediaIntruder processes images from color or black and white cameras, on fixed cameras, or with IR or thermal cameras. It is adaptive to various lighting and weather conditions while allowing monitoring of 100+ meters. The software runs on standard hardware and communication protocols and features client-server architecture client-server architecture Architecture of a computer network in which many clients (remote processors) request and receive service from a centralized server (host computer). as well as a simple user-friendly interface designed with and for operators to minimize any learning curves. It includes a database for incident archiving of video clips A short video presentation. and integrates elaborate self-diagnosis features.

"MediaIntruder is an ideal cost-effective solution to meet these challenges in that it can discriminate the presence of individuals from vehicles or animals, or from local disturbances such as reflections, shadows or interfering movements like moving trees. Such intelligence in video surveillance monitoring has been sorely lacking yet needed to enable effective and efficient operations management Operations management is an area of business that is concerned with the production of goods and services, and involves the responsibility of ensuring that business operations are efficient and effective. for safety, security, traffic and sensitive sites. MediaIntruder meets these requirements in a solution that seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructures of CCTV CCTV abbr. closed-circuit television CCTV closed-circuit television cameras." MediaIntruder performs advanced trajectory tracking. This allows keeping track of a person even when he/she passes behind an occluding object (examples: pillar or fence). It can also automatically adapt in real time to environmental variations such as, changes from day to night, rain, snow or other lighting variations. Pricing and Availability The software is provided with a set of MediaIntruder Analyzers (hardware to receive video signals from cameras for purposes of incident/intrusion detection) and with MediaIntruder Server(s) for concentrating data from all Analyzers. Workstations are also available for alarm displaying and management, such as providing a global view of all monitors on a single display. Devices are all connected via a local Ethernet network using TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. protocol. Various recording options are also possible for archiving or later reference of video clips. MediaIntruder is available today. Pricing varies by configuration and specific deployment scenarios.
