Spec Sheet

• Detect condition change properties such as size,
speed, direction, and aspect ratio change within a
specified time span (for example something falling
down)
• Detect heads within a configurable area
• Detect flow of a constant moving object
• Detect object that moves against a flow of objects
• Alarm task script manager in the expert mode to
combine tasks logically
Filters
It is easy to configure IVA 4.0 to select sensitive areas
of the image, minimum object size, and the motion
direction that will trigger an alarm. IVA 4.0 will only
detect the relevant moving objects in a scene. Use the
object size, speed, two-way direction, aspect ratio,
head detection and color filters to create specific
detection rules. These filters can be used in any
combination to exactly determine the object features
you are looking for. Detection statistics for objects are
stored for fine tuning the object filters.
Intelligence-at-the-Edge Concept
Embedded Video Content Analysis (VCA), that decides
which video is captured, is an implementation of the
Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept. By only selecting
alarm video for streaming or recording, less bandwidth
and storage is used.
Alarm conditions can be signaled by a relay output on
the unit or an alarm connection, to stream video to a
decoder or video management system. Alarms can also
be transmitted to a video management system to start
extended alarm scenarios.
As well as creating alarms, IVA 4.0 produces metadata
that describes the content of the analyzed scene. This
metadata is sent over the network—and may also be
recorded—together with the video stream. It can be
used for providing a forensic search capability for
recordings together with the Archive Player program
and a Forensic Search license. Forensic searching is
very time efficient and can scan a huge recording
database for events within seconds.
Intuitive Graphical User Interface
A new wizard-based GUI guides you through the
configuration with ease. The Configuration Manager
program with an intuitive plug-in is part of the product
CD and provides all the necessary tools to set up
IVA 4.0.
A wizard-based graphical display within the IVA Task
Manager, allows you to set the sensitive area, size,
speed, perspective, and aspect ratio as well as the
movement direction and object color, which are then
simply superimposed upon the image.
The pick object functionality enables configuration to
be carried out just by clicking an object of interest in
the live scene. All specific information regarding size,
speed, direction, aspect ratio, and color are
automatically set for task configuration.
Up to eight independent tasks can be selected and
combined in the scene to build sophisticated
detection rules, each one individualized with its own
parameters. This allows the detection of multiple
object states in parallel, generating separate triggers
that can be handled independently or in combination.
The interface allows a flexible selection of each
sensitive area through polygons with up to 16 corner
points.
A further improved calibrator is used for easy
perspective correction and camera calibration making
measurements more accurate for both metric and
imperial systems.
When movement is detected, the object is outlined in
yellow on the display and motion is tracked on the
monitor. If an object and its motion match the rule
conditions defined for one of the detector fields, it
creates an alarm and its outlines are switched to red.
Additionally, an idle object is marked with an [I] and a
removed object with an [X].
Installation/Configuration Notes
The IVA 4.0 software functionality is a free-of-charge
upgrade of IVA 3.5 and already part of all IVA 4.0
enabled-products with the firmware release of 4.0 or
higher. It upgrades automatically from an already
installed IVMD 2.0, IVA 3.0 or IVA 3.5 when installing
the 4.0 firmware to the device. New IVA 4.0 customers
only need to enable the 4.0 license to make it
operational.
The IVA 4.0 license enabling all IVA 4.x features, can be
installed in parallel with an IVMD 1.0 license on the
same unit (not on VIP X1600 XF). IVA 4.0 is set up
using the Configuration Manager program that is
included with the product and available for download
from the Bosch website.
Configuration Manager can be installed as often as
required on any PC that will be used for configuration
of IVA 4.0 and the products themselves.
Video content analysis may require up to 40% of the
available calculation power of an encoder or camera.
As priority is always given to recording and live video
streams, video content analysis may be affected if the
calculation power it requires is not available. Correct
selection of encoder settings should resolve this. The
performance meter on the Web page of the product
may be helpful for set-up. IVA 4.x is not available for
VIP X1 and VIP X2 because of technical restrictions.
