Azena expands smart camera platforms

Azena has announced upgrades to its open platform for smart cameras that offer new integration capabilities into existing video surveillance systems.

Upgrades also include tools for more efficient device management for systems integrators.

The company suggests that integrators using the Azena platform and the AI-enabled video analytics have wider control over large groups of devices, apps and configurations running on their customers’ smart cameras with the Azena Operating System.

The new integration capabilities help to simplify configuration and deployment of smart cameras using specialized analytics – which produce unique events – into a customer’s existing video surveillance system.

Metadata from these specialized analytics, such as weapons detection, tank level monitoring or flood detection, are automatically converted into events for some of the most commonly-used video management software platforms from Milestone, Genetec and Network Optics. This supports integrators in creating vertical and customer-specific, end-to-end solutions that leverage video analytics data across systems and departments.

“Systems integrators are tasked with providing highly customized solutions to their unique client base and, with our platform, apps from our store, and integration tools they can build these specialized solutions – everything from oil flare monitoring in the energy sector to patient fall detection in healthcare facilities,” said Madhav Varma, vice president, Product for Azena in a statement.
