4 questionsVideo analysis on Deva HD
Deva HD model is equipped with a Full HD camera that provides ONFIV-compliant video streams. Those streams are available on the entire local network through any rstp media player, so Deva HD can easily be integrated with third-party video-analysis software to manage the different scenarios, improving the security:
- Video surveillance
- Abandoned object detection
- Queue evaluation(People counter)
- Parking Control
- Gate transit(People counter)
- Restricted area intrusion detection
- Social distancing(Crowding monitoring)
The scenario listed above can be set using the provided video-analysis software V-Track for Win10 OS or Reko for Ubuntu OS and require a compatible graphic card with memory resources, based on the number of video flows that need to be processed.


Figure 1 – Example of Queue evaluation.
Notes:V-Track and Reco are external software that requires additional licenses per video flow.
