AxxonSoft concluded a successful three days of networking at Securex, held at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg between 14 and 16 May 2019. This expo provided the team with the chance to engage with its African partners while showcasing their latest state-of-the-art technology, with a strong focus on behavioral analytics in video management software and the company’s deep learning technology which has been adapted to tell the difference between humans and animals. Rather than just engage in conversation with clients, this year, the team wanted to create something experiential for visitors and partners alike, giving them the opportunity to experience some of AxxonSoft’s award winning solutions — such as the company’s AI and neural network analytics — in action. “As a global security and surveillance organization, it is important for us to be involved in big exhibitions such as Securex, particularly in Africa. We are looking to grow our footprint in the market, and Securex ...

An early fire notification system based on intelligent video technology successfully passed comprehensive testing in Miloshevichi forestry station (Lelchits district, Gomel region, Belarus). Based on the Axxon Intellect PSIM platform with smoke detectors powered by deep learning, the sample system includes three PTZ video/thermal combos located on 35 meter-high lookout towers. The customer, Belgosles state enterprise, is completely satisfied with the test results. Cameras automatically pan 360 degrees to scan the forest for rising smoke. The neural network was specifically trained in similar environments to distinguish smoke from clouds, fog, and dust. The detection distance ranges up to 50 km in clear weather. Video and thermal images are displayed on an operator’s monitor along with an interactive map where current camera FOVs are indicated. Upon detection of smoke, an alarm sounds while a set of targeted emails containing a map screenshot and the alarm image are sent. A hot spot can...

In October 2018, ONVIF announced the newest Profile T standard as an extended set of functions for video analytics and video/metadata streaming. As of February 16, 2019, Axxon Next VMS and Intellect PSIM officially support the ONVIF Profile T standard. This makes AxxonSoft the first vendor to establish server-side support for the new standard. The ONVIF Profile T device interoperability protocol supports compression and streaming with H.264 and H.265 codecs. H.265 video codec exceeds its predecessor H.264 in compression efficiency and processing high definition video streams. H.265 video takes up less disk space to store and less bandwidth to stream. That means lower total costs of system ownership. Moreover, the new standard supports metadata transmission (including analytics- and event-related data), bi-directional audio for conformant devices, and applying analytics to specified areas of the video image. With ONVIF Profile T, AxxonSoft software is compatible with the most advanced H...
