Mobotix MxActivitySensor: video motion analysis to reduce false alarms

The new MxActivitySensor technology developed by Mobotix significantly reduces the number of false alarms thanks to its advanced video motion analysis.

The German manufacturer of network video surveillance systems Mobotix has developed the MxActivitySensor software, de descarga gratuita, which records intentional movements of people and objects while ignoring all changes in the observed area that are not relevant, which significantly reduces the number of false alarms.

For Mobotix's CEO and founder, Ralf Hinkel, 'MxActivitySensor is a completely new technology that is literally five years ahead of other video motion detection systems currently available on the market', que reduce el número de falsas alarmas hasta en un 90% con un mínimo trabajo de configuración”.

Con MxActivitySensor el tiempo requerido para evaluar las imágenes recogidas por las cámaras IP se acorta considerablemente. “En los sistemas convencionales -explica Hinkel-, la búsqueda de eventos relevantes era comparable a buscar una aguja en un pajar. Cualquier movimiento activaba automáticamente la alarma. Ahora los usuarios se pueden concentrar en los eventos relevantes y encontrarlos de forma más rápida y eficiente con esta innovadora solución gratuita”.

El método inteligente de detección de movimiento que ofrece MxActivitySensor sólo es posible realizarlo a través del sistema descentralizado de Mobotix, ya que este software está integrado en la cámara IP de Mobotix y el análisis puede realizarse directamente en la misma.

As the founder of the company specifies, the great innovation is that 'only relevant events trigger the alarm that is sent over the network'. This allows users to greatly reduce the required bandwidth, especially in systems with many connected cameras'.

Once the camera software is activated, the analysis of the defined area begins. If a person or a vehicle crosses the field of view, MxActivitySensor triggers an alarm function through the camera (via video recording, phone call, email, SMS, etc.).

In this sense, The changes in the image that are not relevant, such as snow, the rain, the movements of clouds and trees or the lights and shadows, are ignored by MxActivitySensor.

Once activated, MxActivitySensor proves, in most situations, more accurate than conventional video motion detection, even with the default settings, saving time for the user.

'The difficulty lies in making the difficult easy,' emphasizes Hinkel,, and precisely this is the idea behind the software. It is so simple that no specialist is needed for installation, maintenance, and analysis. The possibilities offered by MxActivitySensor are within reach of all users to obtain the desired results.

The new S15 camera models, D15 y V15 de Mobotix integran ya MxActivitySensor. Para los modelos Q24M, M24M, D24M, T24M, D14D, S14 y V14 (sólo modelos Secure), se puede descargar gratuitamente en la web de la compañía, junto con la actualización del software de la cámara a partir de la versión 4.1.6.
