Smart CCTV strengthens portfolio with Intellio video analytics

Smart CCTV Ltd announced today that it has become a UK distributor for the Intellio ILC-210 series of smart cameras for video analytics applications. Smart CCTV will share stand 17042 in the CCTV Hall at IFSEC with Intellio Ltd, to demonstrate the latest range of smart cameras for a range of behaviour recognition applications in security, retail and traffic management.

Smart CCTV joins a growing list of international distributors of the Intellio range of products. Intellio’s ILC-210 cameras are fully IP compliant, combining megapixel resolution with true day and night capability and onboard video content analytics. Embedded intelligence allows better control of bandwidth consumption, as decisions are taken onboard about when to send alerts or video images in the event of a security breach.

A notable benefit for remote monitoring situations is that ILC-210 cameras can provide a verified alarm from a single unit, by sending alerts in parallel to video images.

Nick Hewitson, managing director of Smart CCTV explained the reason for expanding the product range: “We decided to use Intellio for a particular traffic related contract. No other camera on the market was able to classify vehicles, count them and work out their speed, all within the smart camera itself. Intellio is complementary to our other products, as we can offer a range of solutions with different processing power from PC-based to fast, IP-enabled smart cameras.”

Intellio’s ILC-200R cameras for retail applications use the company’s leading-edge IntelliZoom™ object tracking software to implement ‘Entry Detector’, ‘Direction Detector’, ‘Traffic Detector’ and ‘People Counting’ features.
