IoT platform for cameras
Security & Safety Things GmbH (S&ST) is due to offer new smart IP security cameras, from a variety of vendors, that use the Security & Safety Things open IoT platform. These cameras will operate using the free S&ST camera operating system, which enables the cameras to run multiple AI-enabled applications in parallel. The apps automate the analysis of video data.
Hartmut Schaper, chief executive officer, Security & Safety Things, says: “Organisations of all sizes around the world need flexible, easy to deploy solutions that enable compliance with constantly changing pandemic health and safety mandates and provide future value to ramp up and optimise their ongoing business operations.
“Companies can now deploy cameras, running the S&ST OS and using a selection of apps from our Application Store. Tomorrow, the same camera can help that same retailer to optimise merchandise placement based on store foot traffic, in one store or throughout the enterprise, along with further optimisations.”
Qisda/Topview will be the first camera manufacturer to launch a camera running the S&ST OS in May, followed by AndroVideo, who will also start shipping their S&ST enabled cameras in the summer. Bosch is making their INTEOX camera line available as of July followed by camera firms Vivotek and BSTsecurity who plan to ship in the autumn. The first devices from Hanwha Techwin that run the S&ST OS are expected to be commercially available in the last quarter of the year. Security & Safety Things, Hanwha, Vivotek, Bosch, Qisda/Topview, and AndroVideo are all members of the Open Security and Safety Alliance (OSSA).
The free Security & Safety Things OS is built on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). It uses the processing and analytic power of IP cameras to increase the amount of operational intelligence that can be mined from traditional IP-based surveillance footage, the developers say.
The applications that can be installed on these cameras, in an on-premise as well as a remote setting, are created by third-party developers and are available through the platform’s open Application Store. It already features more than 50 applications from more than 35 developer partners, with more than 30 other apps expected to reach the store soon. Besides pandemic applications, use cases include detection of weapons, behavioural analysis, payment systems for parking garages, drone threat detection.
Security＆SafetyThingsGmbH（S＆ST）公司将提供来自不同供应商的新型智能IP安全摄像机，这些摄像机使用Security＆SafetyThings的开放式IoT平台。这些摄像机将使用免费的S＆ST摄像机操作系统运行，该系统使摄像机能够运行多个支持AI的应用，而且这些应用程序可自动分析视频数据。
Security＆SafetyThings首席执行官HartmutSchaper表示：“全球各种规模的企业都需要灵活、易于部署的解决方案，这些解决方案必须能够满足不断变化的大流行性健康与安全法规的要求，以便提高并优化其正在进行的商业运营。”
“公司现在可以部署摄像机，运行S＆ST操作系统并使用我们应用商店中的各种应用。同样的的相机可以帮助零售商根据商店人流量来优化商品摆放的位置，这是对一家商店以及整个企业的进一步优化。”
Qisda/Topview将是第一家在五月份发布运行S＆ST操作系统的摄像机的制造商，其次是AndroVideo，后者还将在夏季开始销售其支持S＆ST的摄像机。Bosch将从7月开始提供INTEOX相机系列，随后是计划在秋季出货的Vivotek和BSTsecurity公司。HanwhaTechwin的首批运行S＆STOS的设备预计将在今年的最后一个季度上市。Security&SafetyThings，Hanwha，Vivotek，Bosch,Qisda/Topview和AndroVideo均为国际开放安防联盟（OSSA）的成员。
免费的Security＆SafetyThings操作系统基于Android开放源代码项目（AOSP）构建。开发人员表示，它利用IP摄像机的处理和分析能力可以增加从传统的基于IP的
监视录像中发掘更多的有价值的信息。
可以在本地和远程设置下在这些摄像机上安装应用程序，这些应用是由第三方开发人员创建，可以通过平台的开放式应用程序商店访问。它已经拥有来自超过35个开发人员合作伙伴的50多个应用程序，另外30多个其他应用程序有望很快上市。除了大流行应用之外，用例还包括武器探测，行为分析，停车场支付系统，无人机威胁探测等。
