Introduction
Section 1: Introduction
IntelliView Technologies Inc. develops and provides industry leading
software and hardware solutions that incorporate real-time behavior
analysis with video camera installations to produce intelligent, event driven,
security and surveillance systems. This customizable, revolutionary self-
contained video surveillance system gives operators the information they
need, when they need it.
The technology converts passive cameras into 24/7 video sensors that
generate real-time alerts through cellular, satellite or radio communications.
The powerful software behind the solution is located in the SmrtHVR (hybrid
video recorder) that is positioned on site (on the edge), reducing bandwidth,
communications, power and back ofce IT infrastructure requirements.
These intelligent video devices may support a 4, 8 or 16 analog and IP
cameras of various combinations depending on the unit model. Some of
its functionalities include video capture, video storage, video analytics
processing (see Video Analytic Software Modules below), and networking
capabilities. Additional advantages of this product are signicantly
enhanced detection accuracy and low false alarms rates caused by
uctuating illumination, glare, shadows, rain or snow, achieved using
patented lters and algorithms.
The SC is a video management software application, running on Windows 7
platform, which is used to manage a collection of video recorders. The SC
has the capacity to monitor up to 1024 cameras from a collection of video
recorders.
1.1 The Benets of Using the SC
This event-driven, automated video surveillance system is a “Plug and Play”
solution that is easy to deploy. It offers the following benets:
 Less dependence on human vigilance
 Cost savings over the lifetime of the system
 Ability to search video
 Immediate detection of threats or incidents for fast response
 Reduced false alarms
 Use of fewer security personnel to manage the surveillance

Introduction
Section 1: Introduction
1.2 IntelliView’s SC Features
The SC enables the following tasks:
• Viewing of live video feeds from up to 1024 cameras connected to
multiple SmrtHVR units
• Management of multiple users with associated login privileges
• Real-time display of video analytical alarm and event notications
• Conguration of video camera settings connected to the SmrtHVR
• Analytical alarm programming, management, reporting and archive
reviewing of all connected devices
• Alarm forwarding to mobile devices (Note: handheld license
required)
• Archiving and management of captured video
• Video summary analysis for quick post investigation
• Fully integrated pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) controls
1.3 Compression Technology
IntelliView’s SmrtHVR uses several audio/video compression technologies
to provide the end-user, via the SC, with the best image quality at the
lowest possible communication bandwidth and disk storage requirements.
IntelliView’s customers are able to retain the highest possible quality
of recorded events for future investigation since the system utilizes the
following resolutions (horizontal x vertical):
Analog cameras:
• 4CIF (704x480)
• DCIF (528x320)
• CIF (352x240)
IP cameras:
pixels vary by
camera
The frame rate of the video is 5 to 30 fps per channel of video and audio
embedded recording. The SmrtHVR supports H.264 AVC/SVC, MPEG-4
and JPEG encoding.
1.4 Alarm Function

SC User Guide — V3.14

Introduction
Section 1: Introduction
The SC provides access to a comprehensive set of user-dened rules
through the SmrtHVR/NVR. Four to eight rules per camera and eight to 32
rules per recorder can be added depending on device model and licensing.
When a rule is violated, the system instantly sends an alert through one or
more of the following actions:
1. Displaying an on-video alarm tag
2. Adding to the Alarms list a new entry consisting of a time stamp, an
alarm message, and event image
3. Sending an alarm notication by email with a JPEG image or AVI
video attachment of the event, links to live video footage, and
recorded footage related to the event
4. Sending an event notication through SCADA, Wi-Fi, GSM, Wi-Max,
a cellular network, and a point-to-point or mesh network
5. Activating a relay
6. Counting detected objects (E.g. people entering a building)
7. Pointing a PTZ camera to a preset (location) where an alert has
been activated to capture the image and video of the event and
recording the event in the alarm database
1.5 Voice Recognition and Control
The SC has the ability to listen to and set alarm rules using voice
recognition. It is a two-way feature which enables the user to command the
system verbally as well as to listen to the alarms in voice selection mode.
The SC also allows two-way communication between the unit and the
recording devices connected to it. This audio feature facilitates seamless
communication between both units.
1.6 System Connectivity
The IntelliView SC is an advanced network-based, intelligent video
surveillance solution that can be connected with analog and IP video

cameras via the SmrtHVR/NVR. The system utilizes many features and
functions of the SmrtHVR to provide distributed video analytics capabilities
that can be controlled and monitored over a standard IP based computer
network using the SC video management software.
The SC receives video from SmrtHVR/NVRs and provides a secure single
monitoring station for end-users. Using the SC, clients can view hundreds
of cameras with an easy to use interface. Figure 1 shows the devices that
can be connected to the SC and SmrtHVR/NVR.
