6. Activating Video Analytics
Video Analytics
Some Concept Pro cameras come equipped with video analytics functionality, including line
crossing, area entrance/exit, loitering, stopped, and object removed detection, that can be
used from the Concept Pro suite of recorders.
To use video analytics, you must rst ensure the license is recognised by the recorder. To do
this, rst connect the camera to the Concept Pro recorder over the network or through its
PoE ports. Then, through the recorder user interface, navigate to <MENU> - <SYSTEM SETUP>
- <SYSTEM> - <LICENSE>. Click <ADD AUTOMATICALLY> if the recorder is connected to the
network to automatically add the license for all valid connected cameras.
Alternatively, the individual camera license can be found by logging into the camera web
interface, navigating to <SETUP> - <SYSTEM> - <LICENSE>. The license should be listed in this
menu. The license can then be manually added to the recorder <LICENSE> menu should the
automatic option not properly update.
Once the license is applied, simply navigate to the <CAMERA> - <VA SETUP> menu to setup
video analytics. Select the desired channel and turn ACTIVATION to ON.
Click START WIZARD and follow the instructions to congure a new VA rule, calibrate the
accuracy of the camera, and congure related settings. Alternatively, click ADD in the rule
tab to manually congure settings. Click the SCHEDULE tab to customise the VA schedule.
Note: Performing CALIBRATION is recommended to increase the video analytics accuracy.

7. Optimising video for image quality & storage requirements
All Concept Pro cameras & recorders come with features designed to help balance the
need for high quality images and lower storage requirements. Selecting the proper settings
for each camera can help optimise your system and balance image quality with storage
requirements.
Constant Bit Rate
Constant Bit Rate (CBR) applies a specic bit rate for the video stream and the camera will
transmit at approximately this bit rate without regard to time, light level, scene complexity, or
other factors. As a result, the image quality will appear improved, but bandwidth and storage
requirements will be the high.
Variable Bit Rate
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) automatically adjusts the bit rate according the scene being
monitored. With VBR enabled, the image quality will decrease when there is less or no motion
occurring and increase when scene complexity increases. As a result, bandwidth and
storage requirements can be considerably reduced while the image quality will be focused
on scenes of actual importance.
To congure VBR+ from the Concept Pro NVR, navigate to <MENU> - <SYSTEM SETUP> -
<CAMERA> - <CAMERA SETUP> - <STREAM SETUP>. Select the desired channel and bit rate
control scheme, then press <APPLY>.
VBR+
Some Concept Pro cameras, such as the CVP5325 series, support a special feature named
VBR+. Similar to other smart codecs, VBR+ is a more intelligent video processing feature that
can more aggressively apply techniques to dramatically reduce the bit rate by only focusing
optimal image quality according to scene complexity.
To congure VBR/CBR from the Concept Pro NVR, navigate to <MENU> - <SYSTEM SETUP> -
<CAMERA> - <CAMERA SETUP> - <STREAM SETUP>. Select the desired channel and VBR+ from
Bit Rate Control, then press <APPLY>.
Regions of Interest
Some Concept Pro cameras, such as the CVP5325 series, support regions of interest directly
through Concept Pro NVRs, others can be congured through web browser. Regions of
Interest can be manually set from the <CAMERA SETUP> menu with the area denoted ‘of
interest’ or ‘not of interest’. According to the setting, the camera will apply optimal image
quality to the area and low image quality to outside areas to help reduce bit rate further.
Auto ROI is another option that allows the camera to intelligently track moving objects and
apply optimal image quality to moving objects only while the background image quality
would be lower.

Smart Storage Compression
Concept Pro NVR products support Smart Storage Compression (SSC), a feature designed
to limit the camera bit rate according to the recording FPS value. With Smart Storage
Compression (SSC) off by default, the system will record video streams at higher bit rates, and
preserve this bit rate no matter the record FPS.
With Smart Storage Compression (SSC) set to ON, the system will reduce the maximum bit rate
to 4Mbps for the main stream and 1Mbps for the sub stream. It will also automatically adjust
the max bit rate according to the record FPS setting. SSC therefore attempts to balance
image quality with recording frame rate for additional savings in bandwidth and storage.
H.265
H.265 is a new video compression codec that allows for more optimal compression of video
streams compared to the H.264 video codec. When combined with VBR, this can result in
a considerable reduction in bit rate compared to H.264 without a major trade off in image
quality.
Note: Performance of bit rate control schemes and video compression codecs depends
upon the installation environment.
