The retailer installed Intuvision Video Analytics integrated with ExacqVision Z-series network video recorders (NVRs) throughout its US stores. Seamless integration between IntuVision Video Analytics and ExacqVision's VMS software makes it possible to use a wide range of video analytics rules on any camera, both for security and business intelligence purposes. This retail company uses powerful video analytics with intuVision to count people entering its stores, as well as spot people loitering after hours. IntuVision's Video analytics have provided the retail store with 98% accuracy on people counting traffic through their stores.“IntuVision Video Analytics gave us accurate check-in and check-out counts without the need for a dedicated camera over the door,” said Director of Loss Prevention. “We tried competitor products that require using a dedicated people counting camera and they still had issues with groups of people arriving at the same time.”
Intelligent features within the IntuVision and ExacqVision systems provided detail and a high level of accuracy to analyze video streams and collect the best business data. IntuVision Video analytics provide intuitive statistical insights into people's activities in stores and keeps hourly records of how many customers have entered and exited a store. In addition, they can count the number of vehicles entering and leaving their parking lots and monitor the perimeter of the building. These statistics are used to measure and report sales to improve overall sales.
Since intuVision-VA is an Exacq Certified Application Software, it installs directly on the Z-series recorder and requires no additional equipment to run the Analytics software. “We have invested in a better server to run all of our applications including Intuvision Video Analytics on a single NVR,” said the Director of Loss Prevention. “The ExacqVision / intuVision integrated system saved us additional hardware and maintenance costs.”
Store associates control PTZ cameras in the ExacqVision client to better investigate events detected by intuVision VA and create optimal store views. In addition, intuVision VA sends software events to ExacqVision to alert the occurrence of specific events to record video when they occur. For example, without a gate around the perimeter of the stores, they can easily monitor and visualize outside facility activity at night from the ExacqVision client or mobile app when alerted by IntuVisionVA if someone is out of the building after hours. . Security personnel easily file investigations with ExacqVision's powerful thumbnail and timeline search capabilities.
