Cernium Unveils Analytics Application Software Suite For Video Management Systems

  • Apr 03, 2008

Cernium Corp., developer of video analytics-enabled products, recently announced the launch of its next-generation Perceptrak software, which seamlessly integrates with leading video management systems to provide full-spectrum, intelligent video analytics capabilities to enterprise-class IP video surveillance installations.

Cernium will demonstrate Perceptrak at ISC West at Booth No. 9057.

Milestone Systems' XProtect Enterprise video management software is the first in a planned series of world-class video management systems to be fully integrated with the new Perceptrak application.

"As analytics become an essential tool for proactive video surveillance, there is a very real need for them to be available on all cameras, all the time," said Craig Chambers, president and CEO of Cernium Corporation. "This new generation of Perceptrak makes that goal a reality with an unprecedented combination of power, flexibility and ease of operation at an affordable cost."

The new Perceptrak builds upon Cernium's P-Core video analytics engine operating on the company's powerful, efficient High Density Analytics Server appliance. P-Core enables any combination of behaviors to be detected on any camera, thereby adapting to a wide range of environments and security policies for real-time, automated 24x7 monitoring. By adding metatags to user-defined events of interest, Perceptrak can also retrieve critical information from hours of video within seconds to support investigations or the management of risk and business operations.

Perceptrak's open standards software operates on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computing hardware and scales with video management systems as IP video networks continue to grow. The result is lower cost of ownership and the flexibility to evolve along with changing security requirements.

It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
