Market is flooded with depth sensor that runs stereo vision or time-of-flight (also known as ToF), two different approaches to retrieve height information to construct a depth model for counting. But just as Tesla moved to a full vision approach in 2021, computer vision is a serious contender in the mix.
In the fast-paced world of security, staying ahead means embracing innovation. The latest release of VAST Security Station video management system (abbreviated as VSS) introduces practical improvements to help streamline day-to-day security operations.
License Plate Recognition Cameras and Facial Recognition Cameras
VSS 1.3's List Management solves the time-consuming challenge of updating multiple camera lists. It allows users to create, manage, and distribute lists from a single interface, automatically syncing across VIVOTEK's license plate recognition camera (or auto license plate recognition, ANPR) and facial recognition cameras.
Moreover, the List Management feature can be configured as a trigger for alarms, enabling automated responses when specific individuals or vehicles are detected, further enhancing the system's proactive security capabilities. This integration saves considerable time, reduces errors, streamlines access control, and enhances security responsiveness through instant unauthorized access alerts.
VSS 1.3's Web Client addresses the challenge of accessing surveillance systems on computers with software installation restrictions. By providing a browser-based interface that requires no additional downloads, this thin client solution allows users to securely view live and recorded video. With a familiar interface similar to the desktop version, it enhances system accessibility and usability across various office workstations while maintaining essential surveillance capabilities.
VSS 1.3's CMS Remotely Upgrade Substations tackles the time-consuming task of updating multiple surveillance substations separately. By enabling centralized, system-wide upgrades from a single location, this solution allows system integrators to maintain consistent software versions across all connected substations.
VIVOTEK's Commitment to Excellence
VIVOTEK's VAST Security Station 1.3 release demonstrates an ongoing commitment to supporting security professionals with practical solutions. By focusing on streamlining operations, improving accessibility, and enhancing system reliability, this release aims to help both system integrators and end-users more effectively manage modern security challenges. The new features represent another step forward in the continual improvement of security operations and support for a safer environment.
