Person and Vehicle Analytics

Person and vehicle detection analytics give you more actionable intelligence through person and vehicle events and by being available natively in OpenEye Web Services (OWS) It creates more value in your existing surveillance system by not requiring the replacement of cameras in order to take advantage of analytic capabilities.
Person Detected

With Person Detected events available natively within OpenEye Web Services (OWS), you can receive alerts or search for person-detected events, regardless of your camera's analytic capabilities. The server-side detection allows you to leverage motion events tied to individuals or surveil your business without a costly camera upgrade.

NOTE: The amount of channels for person-detected events is limited based on hardware compatibility. Contact your sales representative if you have any questions.
