Cameras connected to the Panasonic Camera manager application running CLVR, are able to send relevant notifications when, for example, customers enter a store or when a car enters a car park.
CLVR is the combined result of collaboration between TNO, Vicar Vision and Panasonic Camera manager, utilising a €200K grant from the Small Business Research Innovation (SBIR) project.
TNO, a global leading research institute, provided the algorithms. Vicar Vision, an R&D company, manipulated the algorithm to be optimised for the cloud. Camera manager turned the algorithm into a working cloud-based video analytics solution, able to detect relevant movements of humans & objects, and trigger an alarm.
CLVR is aimed at SMEs and enterprises that want to get the most of their surveillance solution. Tijmen Vos explains, “We wanted to give small and medium sized business owners access to high quality video surveillance, triggered by smart analytics and instantly accessible from mobile devices and PCs.
“The next step is making monitoring of people movements and reporting available as part of the Camera manager subscription. This is the kind of information major retailers use already and can help any business owner stay ahead of the curve,” Vos says.
According to the company, CLVR will be available from July 1st as part of all Camera manager Business & Professional plans and will be rolled-out starting in the Benelux, as part of the Camera manager go! all-in-one camera surveillance solution.
