4 Security for the global need of safety Security Management: The all in one security management solution based on innovative intelligence DIVA IP Security Platform The DIVA platform is an IP based Security Management solution developed for the need of a comprehensive and complete security solution. DIVA stands for Digital Intelligent Video Architecture and has been developed by VDG Security BV. The DIVA platform combines: Video Management software NVDR: Video Data Recorder for handling all incoming video data, metadata and events, performing VCA and at the same time functioning as a scalable high-end storage solution NMS: Management Software for remote viewing and system-wide configuration NVSP: Video System Pack for simultaneous recording and viewing on a single hardware system Plug-in software for additional functions, like video content analysis (facial recognition, object recognition, license plate recognition and even camera tampering detection) and communication with third party security systems like access-control, alarm verification, intercom and more external security systems. Software Development Kit (SDK) Hardware IT components Intel based technology with Windows / Linux OS High quality IT components such as server-grade hard drives, RAID controllers, redundant power supplies, multi-monitor graphics cards, high-end monitors and more components switches and routers External I/O-devices Wireless transmission CCTV products IP and Analog CCTV cameras and encoders Lenses Camera housings IR Lighting DIVA as an reliable open platform Combining the above mentioned ingredients, the DIVA platform makes it possible to cover customer requirements regarding security and marketing related video surveillance. The DIVA platform is designed to be an open platform, meaning that it can communicate with products of different manufacturers in different markets with the use of plug-in software. Customized communication to and from other external systems by using the XML protocol. 4

5 DIVA project in Poland: The Lech Stadium Functionality for the operator High-End Security Management Scalibility The DIVA platform offers a high level of scalability, enabling the platform to offer the solution closely matching the functional requirements of the customer. Scalability is offered in different dimensions: 1) System dimensions 2) Functionality for the operators 3) Intelligent features System dimensions With respect to system dimensions the DIVA platform can be scaled from a system for only several cameras, a single storage server and one viewing monitor up to the largest and most complex cases like the DIVA project recently in Poland, the Lech Stadium in Poznan (video and audio monitoring including intelligent features) and the prestigious installation at the Formula 1 circuit in Abu Dhabi which supports over 900 cameras and feeds the CCTV images to multiple operators simultaneously. For the customer this translates into high stability, cost efficiency and preservation of investments for the future. Intelligent features Finally the DIVA solution is scalable in the offering of various optional intelligent Video Content Analysis features such as Object Tracking, License Plate Recognition (LPR), and Face Recognition. The available suite of intelligent algorithms can amplify the responsiveness of the DIVA system through automated detection of the occurrence of specific events. The detection of events is translated by the DIVA interpretation mechanism into pre-defined actions for the DIVA system to take. These actions include for example audio signaling, camera highlighting, enhanced quality recording and the presentation of predefined viewing monitor layouts. For the customer this translates into increased reliability and agility of the DIVA platform. DIVA offers the solution closely matching the functional requirements of the customer. Functionality for the operators In our view the most important user of a DIVA platform is the operator. In our definition operators vary from the office manager looking at a split-screen of the entrance and parking cameras up to the security officer responsible for guarding the premises, office buildings and warehouses. The varying profile of each operator demands a tailored presentation of exactly those video images and functions that are required. The DIVA platform offers all of such features with the extensive user rights and fully customizable screen layouts. For the customer this translates into a tailored functionality adjusted to operators using the system. 5

8 FaceR CarR SceneR ObjectR DIVA and Facial Recognition The core: Video Management software The very most essential part of the DIVA solution is the software application itself, available in three software packages. NVDR Video Data Recording A server based software application developed for storage and handling of incoming video streams with the optional Video Content Analysis applied. This application also manages incoming metadata of any external source, such as (XML) data/messages from other connected third party systems, that can be integrated in the database of the NVDR server(s) to activate the action reaction principle. NMS Management Software Once installed, the NMS takes care of operator and management tasks. The NMS can exchange information with multiple NVDR servers. It is the main instru ment for the user/operator to manage all security and safety related matters. The NMS Graphical User interface (GUI) can be totally customized to its users or groups of users, enabling all their rights and restrictions, which is another strong element within DIVA management. NVSP Video Software Package This basically is a standalone software application that combines the functionality of the NVDR and the NMS in one application. It also can combine the stand alone functionality for local management of all connected cameras but in the same time be a part of a bigger DIVA network where more NMS (or NVSP) servers can connect to the video data recording part of the stand alone NVSP server. With additional software plug-ins for use of intelligence, like image processing algorithms, DIVA provides another important key feature to video surveillance and security management. The available suite of intelligent software plug-ins provides the needed efficiency and comfort for any user/operator towards the essence of video observation. VCA algorithms such as Facial-, Object and License Plate recognition nowadays are essential for the efficiency of security surveillance. DIVA is is available in in server-, client-, and stand-alone alone licenses & additional software plug-ins for adding more efficiency. 8

9 DIVA and License Plate Recognition DIVA and Change of View Recognition DIVA and Object Recognition DIVA Intelligence Facial Recognition FaceR FaceR can isolate faces from video images and digitize them into metadata. Metadata points are placed on eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. The found face print can be compared with the person lists (blackor white list). With a match or mismatch an event can be created. Besides comparing face prints with the person lists, risk profiles can be programmed to detect people returning within a pre-defined period. All these events can be used to trigger macros from other components. Object Recognition ObjectR ObjectR can isolate & classify objects from video images into several categories. Events are created when a rule is violated. Objects who enter a specific area, crossing a tripwire, loitering, leave behind or take away items can be marked as an event. These events can be used to trigger macros from other components. Multiple rules can be set per camera, together with the event/macro feature an amazing number applications are possible. This algorithm can also be used for people counting (unique) for marketing purposes. License Plate Recognition CarR CarR can detect number plates from video images and can also classify them into country of origin. The found license plate number can be compared with the license lists (black- or white list). With a match or mismatch an event can be created. Besides comparing license plate numbers with the license lists, risk profiles can be programmed to detect vehicles returning within a pre-defined period or vehicle counting for parking purposes. Scene Recognition SceneR The CCTV camera itself is an important device. The right angle-of-view, contrast, white balance and more adjustments are necessary for getting the best result of the needed image produced by the camera. If a camera s view changes (deliberately or by innocent mistake), the installed algorithm (intelligence) will not work anymore. For that reason, SceneR has been developed: a smart camera tampering detection algorithm that can analyze video images on change of angle and/or loss of detail. SceneR is the ideal tool for the automated maintenance of network cameras. It also can be used in a high secure environment where it can be configured in such way, that within one second an alarm will be given if a camera in the network has been moved, covered or the image itself has been become unfocused and not giving a perfect image anymore. 9

10 DIVA is an IP based security management solution Key features IP based Using IP technology the system itself is no longer limited by any number of physical video inputs as with a digital video recorder. The camera has become an addressable device on the network as well are monitor decoders and I/O contact units. Like in every standard network, scalability is achieved by connecting routers and switches to attach more devices. In effect this means that only the network bandwidth and the hardware specifications set a limit to the number of cameras that can be connected on that network and hardware. Another advantage with respect to analogue technology is that separate wiring (such as coaxial cable) for each device is no longer needed. Existing analogue cameras can be included in the IP system using an analogue /IP converter (encoder). Processing and storage Processing multiple video streams with additional video-analytics, require powerful and reliable hardware. DIVA uses only state of the art and powerful Intel technology. The 19" high performance servers we provide offer a variety in storage solutions with reliable RAID configuration and heavy duty hard disks that are specially developed for 24/7 non-stop performing: reading and writing video-data. There is virtually no limit to the number of cameras that can be implemented with a DIVA solution. The limitation of how many cameras a single server can handle mainly depends on the specific type of processor technology and storage capacity. User management Once the IP network is realized and the hardware server(s) are configured as advised, the next strong key feature presents itself as an essential part of the DIVA solution: User Management. User accounts can be created and edited by the system administrator(s). There is a wide variety of functions and features that can depend on the level of authorization the administrator has granted for users and user groups. Some features are: access to cameras, monitor layouts, user events, event search, playback options, modification of settings and more options for an effective use of DIVA. Statistics Engineers, technicians and network managers are very well informed by the statistics tab in the DIVA software. It shows a real time overview of the network activity of all connected devices. This can be used for the finetuning of camera-, recording- and profile settings. Profiles A profile is a combination of the systems settings that can be set to change on a predefined time frame or in a predefined situation. These settings apply to all or some of the connected devices (such as: camera settings, motion detection settings, storage settings). The systems macro commands are also profile related. Profiles can easily be created within the DIVA application. Once a profile is completed it can be (de)activated by the built in calendar function, external XML commands, devices, internal macro commands, user events, and I/O contacts. With such a smart profile option, the possibilities within effective security will increase the safety with certain efficiency. 10

11 Screenshot DIVA search Screenshot DIVA object search Screenshot DIVA cameras and devices Database Data of all events are stored in the database and are related to the associated stored video images. For all cameras that have motion detection enabled, all motion activity is also stored in this database as motion events, enabling very efficient searches within each recorded camera stream. More specific information can be stored in the database if video content analysis (VCA) algorithms are used. The metadata from these algorithms are also related to the stored video and can be used for event handling and event matching in black list and white-list functionality. For example: when using FaceR, the metadata (face-print) from a scanned face will generate a face found event and the file will be stored in the database. Simultaneously the new entry will be compared against previous stored metadata of faces. This could result in a face match event, in addition to the previous described face found, if the comparison comes up with a match. The database enables to efficiently find information that is stored by events, so called smart search. Another possibility to optimize the DIVA interaction is using information from sources outside the DIVA platform and providing information from the DIVA platform to third party sources. To provide this functio nality a software development kit (SDK) is available to structure the communication of messages to and from the DIVA database. This HTTP/XML based SDK enables the interaction (and smart search!) to and from other systems. A common example is to provide event information of matched faces and license plates to a third party access control platform. The other way around this access control might send commands to us, instructing the DIVA to switch monitor layouts, select pan & tilt presets, change profile settings and more. Metadata As described above: events generate data about the detection process, called metadata. These data are stored on the server(s) and are available for use in other applications Stored metadata of ObjectR can even be used to evaluate recorded video afterwards with new or other rules. Diva Match The DivaMatch screen shows the last 1,000 recognized events and returns the images of the best results of the stored matches. Diva Search With this smart search feature, the database will be searched for images that correspond with the required event type over the selected time frame. Based upon criteria as motion, scene changes, object behavior, license plate numbers and faces, the corresponding events will be listed with the attached reference image. Cameras Using high-resolution cameras within the DIVA concept, live images are displayed and stored in perfect quality. The user will have the full benefit of the resolution of the monitor panel in which it is displayed. DIVA also offers digital zoom (with the mouse wheel) that can even further increase the value of these high resolution images when the operator quickly needs to focus on a certain part of the image. The DIVA platform is an open platform that supports a large number of camera brands. Scene detection (anti masking) & motion detection are standard software profile features for each camera. 11

12 Yas Marina F1 circuit in Abu Dhabi DIVA on the spot Abu Dhabi Airport & Yas Marina F1 circuit It was quite an honor that DIVA has been chosen as the main Security Management platform for the High Secure environment of Abu Dhabi Airport by supplying DIVA encoders with Object Recognition software. The complete system is based on 15 de-centralized servers. Storage takes place through a high-end SAN solution and through the DIVA Platform Management System, all images will be shown to the operators in the video control center. Of course this takes places through the implemented Object Recognition software, so the operator only will be triggered if a serious event occurs on the airport: an increase of efficiency towards reliable video surveillance. Another prestigious DIVA project in Abu Dhabi is about the Yas Marina F1 circuit. The past 2 years, the F1 circuit in Abu Dhabi organized with a lot of success the famous F1 Grand Prix Tournaments. For the need of security, the entire CCTV installation has been powered by the innovative DIVA video management system. The Abu Dhabi Police and the Yas Marina F1 Circuit security operators are now using almost 900 cameras for observation and monitoring the public areas and general surroundings of the F1 circuit. The complete system is based on 54 IP video network hardware servers with a total storage capacity of 1 petabyte (1,000 terabyte). Intelligent features are executed with Video Content Analysis (VCA) to detect luggage that has been left behind in public areas using object recognition software. To scan the license plates of all cars that enter the circuit area, our VCA named CarR has been implemented with success. EURO 2012 in Poland Euro 2012 is coming to Poland and heavy preparations have already been made for this popular soccer event. The Lech stadium in Poznan, Poland, is one of the brand new soccer stadiums that use DIVA for its security management in and around the soccer stadium. With a complete range of Megapixel cameras and PTZ domes all spectator areas, access ways to the spectator areas and entrances are monitored and observed for complete safety during events. Next to video observation & recording, the brand new stadium is also using audio recording by targeting microphones that are all installed above the spectator areas. The result is a complete coverage of video and audio that has been realized to follow the strict safety regulations during Euro To secure the system itself, a failover server is installed to ensure the online status of other connected servers. This back-up server will come online if one of the servers is defective and appears to be offline. The failover server automatically takes over the entire configuration of the offline server with all its settings and tasks, ensuring the continuous security and safety of Euro
