Panasonic CLVR: video analysis in the 'cloud' to improve companies' video surveillance tasks

No configuration required, affordable and tailored to the customer's needs are the main features that define CLVR, the world's first cloud-based video analysis service developed by Panasonic to help businesses optimize their video surveillance tasks.

CVLR, which refers to the English term clever, is part of the subscription to Panasonic Cameramanager and helps businesses optimize their video surveillance tasks through an alarm system and intelligent cloud storage, whose first feature presented under this brand is CLVR Detection, as the company announced during Ifsec 2014.

As Tijmen Vos explains, Panasonic Cloud Management Service Europe Operations Director, The most advanced daytime security cameras integrate some form of motion detection. The problem that usually arises with motion detection is that the user receives too many irrelevant notifications or receives very few notifications. CLVR Detection significantly increases the proportion of valid and useful notifications received by the user.

Cameras connected to the Panasonic Cameramanager app running CLVR are capable of sending relevant notifications when, For example, customers enter a store or when a car enters a parking lot.

CLVR is the result of the collaboration of the international research institute TNO, que ha proporcionado los algoritmos; de la empresa de I+D Vicar Vision, responsable de manipular el algoritmo y optimizarlo para cloud, y de Panasonic Cameramanager, que ha convertido el algoritmo en una solución de análisis de vídeo basada en ‘la nube’ capaz de detectar movimientos pertinentes de personas u objetos y de activar alarmas. Este proyecto ha contado además con una subvención de 200.000 euros procedentes del proyecto Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR).

Este servicio se dirige tanto a pymes como a grandes empresas interesadas en sacar el máximo partido a su solución de vigilancia. “Queríamos ofrecer a las pymes acceso a funciones de videovigilancia de calidad superior, activated by intelligent analysis and instantly accessible from mobile devices and computers - points out Tijmen Vos -. The next step will consist of including the monitoring of people's movements and the generation of reports in the Cameramanager subscription. The main retail firms already use this type of information.

The commercialization of CLVR will begin as of 1 July within the Business and Professional plans of Cameramanager, and the first deployment will be carried out in Benelux, as part of the all-in-one Cameramanager video surveillance solution!
