Organizations can now set alerts on two types of activity: individuals climbing over a fence, gate, or wall; and individuals falling. To support this new feature, our in-house team of AI and computer vision engineers has built and trained a video-based model designed to recognize specific types of activity. Rather than analyzing a single frame of footage - which is how our cameras identify a person or vehicle - this model ties multiple frames together to identify the action taking place in the camera’s field of view.

AI-powered unified timeline lets users visually reconstruct an incident end-to-end by unifying video events from all cameras onto a single, map-based timeline. 

All sightings of the subject of interest are added to a chronological timeline, with the option to add sightings of additional relevant people or associated vehicles in a single view. For organizations with floorplans in Command, a dedicated view highlights which cameras detected the subject(s) of interest, along with the order of these detections. Once a complete and organized view of relevant footage has been built, easily convert all sightings into a comprehensive evidence package. To learn more, read the full announcement.

The redesigned CH53-E and CH63-E four-camera multisensors and CY63-E two-camera multisensor join the CY53-E to offer a robust line of next-generation multisensor cameras.
