Linux DVR can identify objects
According to LinuxDevices.com Neugent Technologies, a Philippines-based video capture card vendor, lunched its LX8000 SmartDetect DVR. It’s based on Linux and has “built-in object detection video analytics” which allows to watch for left, abandoned, missing or stolen objects. The LX8000 is built from standard PC components and offers remote management, live views, recording and playback functions, and support for JPEG and MPEG4 streaming.
The rest features of that DVR include:
- Tailored alarm generation
- When an object is left in a busy scene (such as a bag in an airport or subway station)
- When an object is suddenly removed from its place (such as thefts in art galleries, schools, and museums)
- Illegal parking violations and roadblocks
- Motion detection can be constrained to areas or zones on the screen
- Alarms via email or SMS (text messaging)
- Live view on 3G mobile phones (optional)
