The integration of Optex and Tempos Analytics allows optimal video verification processes

Tempos Analytics' video analysis software allows integration with Optex IP detectors, minimizing false alarms.. The combination of these solutions, distributed by ProdexTec, ensures decisive effectiveness and quality when choosing video surveillance systems..

When we have a security system composed of sensors and video surveillance cameras, each alarm signal triggered by the sensors must be sent and processed by the alarm receiving center (CRA), which will activate the corresponding perimeter cameras to confirm it..

This type of system has two major drawbacks. On the one hand, the time it takes in the process and, for another, the possibility that the cameras do not detect anything and it is a security guard who has to perform the final verification of the alert.

Video verification

Some modern alarm systems have video verification technology, which instantly checks what caused the alarm to trigger by sending images, confirming whether it is a false alarm.

That is to say, the alarm is triggered, which sends an intrusion alert to the CRA. The cameras send live images that are analyzed, it is determined whether the alert is real or if it is a false alarm, and action is taken accordingly.

The Spanish brand Tempos Analytics, through its smart video analysis solutions, basadas en un software de alto rendimiento y disponibles en varios formatos de hardware, permite la integración con sensores IP de la marca Optex (Redscan, barreras infrarrojas, Redwall y Fiber Sensys).

In this way, cada evento que se produzca en los sensores se enviará a la CRA junto con un clip de vídeo. Este está compuesto de imágenes previas y posteriores a la intrusión, including, besides, información importante sobre la misma.

La combinación de estos dos elementos de seguridad garantiza la completa eliminación de falsas alarmas.

Integración y videoverificación con sensores

En el caso de los sensores de Optex, cualquier evento generado por un sensor IP Optex puede transmitirse a una central receptora de alarma (CRA) junto con un clip de vídeo. In this case, video verification is available with native IP sensors or through the Optex PIE One accessory.

Sensors from other brands can also rely on video verification through Tempos Analytics, by using one of the available I/O modules (IP or USB) activating video analytics at the moment of detection.

Video verification with Optex sensors

2V (Sensor video verification): For maximum protection and critical installations. The initial detection is carried out by a sensor and analytics is automatically activated to video verify the event that triggered the alarm or sensor activation.

2D (Video verification and dual sensor detection): Una solución redundante para instalaciones críticas o estratégicas con necesidades de seguridad extrema. El sensor y la vídeoanalítica funcionan paralelamente si el sensor detecta una posible amenaza, la vídeoanalítica verifica el objeto que ocasionó la alarma; si la detección se realiza por la analítica, la alarma se envía según los protocolos establecidos, independientemente del sensor; y si detectan el sensor y la vídeoanalítica, se envían ambas alarmas.

Ultimately, la gran ventaja de la videoverificación es que permite distinguir en tiempo real qué ha ocurrido cuando una alarma se activa, comprobando si la intrusión es real o desactivando la alarma de manera remota si se ha disparado por error.

Tempos Analytics and Optex are brands marketed by ProdexTec in Spain and Portugal. The integration of both solutions, guarantees effectiveness and decisive quality when choosing security systems in the video surveillance sector.
