Video analytics should be an integrative component of every video management software. NETAVIS Software pioneers this concept since more
than five years. With the initiative iCAT Jump Start, iCAT Video Analytics is now included for free with every Observer installation.
With the initiative iCAT Jump Start, NETAVIS provides the integrative component iCAT Video Analytics for free with every Observer installation.
Apart from collecting vital business and in-store-analytics data, iCAT can truly improve the physical security of our customers' premises.
The NETAVIS Platform for Security and Business provides precise video analytics as an integrative component of the open video
management platform with a cutting-edge data warehouse for results.

Video analytics should be an integrative component of video management platforms. NETAVIS Software pioneers this concept since more
than five years. The next step in the evolution of IP video is to transform and contextualise mere video data and provide relevant security
and business information user-specifically. NETAVIS achieves this necessity with its third component: sMart Data Warehouse.
The NETAVIS Platform for Security and Business offers flexible video management combined with precise video analytics and cutting-edge data warehouse technology. iCAT Video Analytics is seamlessly integrated with every Observer VMS and significantly improves the physical security.
With multiple iCAT definitions it is possible to collect different video analytics data sets simultaneously from a single camera with a
single iCAT license.
iCAT Video Analytics offers highly reliable and directional people and object counting.
NETAVIS Observer enables different recording and video analytics settings for freely definable time periods and per camera.
NETAVIS sMart Data Warehouse visualises and contextualises business relevant information from video surveillance, video analytics
and other data sources. Intuitive charts and statistics about customer frequency, customer segmentation, customer behaviour and
many more topics are available at a glance via user specific dashboards and periodic reports.
Pre-recorded videos can easily be looped into NETAVIS Observer, where they are displayed and handled like a regular live stream.
All NETAVIS Observer versions allow users toforward the camera status of all integrated network cameras to
third party software via interfaces.
The system monitoring of a NETAVIS Observer installation is supported by the widespread IT standard SNMP.
A broad variety of operating system and application events can be communicated via SNMP, thereby failures
such as camera malfunctions can be detected and addressed even faster.
Respecting legal requirements around employees as well as customer privacy is crucial for IP-video installations. All NETAVIS iCAT video analytics modules provide video analytics data without limitations while an optional privacy mask can fully cover the video streams. Furthermore, they can even provide the analytics data without recording at all.
There are many good reasons to cover an existing IP video installation with a software assurance:
Sometimes, a hardware component has to be exchanged and newer parts will demand for up-to-date operating systems, thus an Observer Software update is required. The use of latest camera models or the benefit of newly developed Observer video management and iCAT video analytics features could be other reasons for updating the software to its latest version.
In order to efficiently prevent theft, our customer EDEKA makes use of a very simple but specific configuration of NETAVIS iCAT video analytics. With this configuration, NETAVIS Observer only sends an alarm, when a person with a shopping cart leaves the store through the entrance area. As iCAT is already pre-installed in every NETAVIS Observer software, the iCAT video analytics module for the relevant camera is simply activated by licence key.
For systems with two or more hard disks, each NETAVIS Observer standard installation sets up the NETAVIS Software RAID by default. Automatically, all data regarding operating system, application components and database (=system data) are redundantly stored on the first two disks upon installation.
The use of dynamic views triggered by iCAT and motion detection events will be significantly simplified by the addition of a new configuration menu in the upcoming NETAVIS Observer 4.5. This way it is easy and convenient, to customize Live Monitoring to the end customers specific needs.
