2 OVERVIEW Genieus Console uses a wide range of camera devices, including USB webcams, capture cards (for connection to conventional analogue CCTV cameras) and the latest network/ip video servers and cameras. Because of its modular design, you are not limited to one type of device for the whole system devices can be mixed, as required. Motion detection is performed without the need for PIR triggers and external motion detectors. Once motion is detected, recording begins. For extra security, Genieus can be programmed to record before and after the motion event to ensure everything is captured, and sensitivity controls add an extra level of flexibility. Digital image storage means access to stored images is instant, allowing footage to be played back while still recording. Also included is a loop play feature to continuously loop the most recent activity a feature traditional CCTV systems are simply unable to provide. With digital image storage comes simple to use, yet comprehensive, systems for image management. Archiving automatically ensures retention of the right amount of footage, image integrity checking ensures footage isn t tampered with and feed management allows precise control over the storage of images per camera feed. Genieus Console supports I/O input and control through a variety of interfaces, allowing almost any remote control configuration. REMOTE VIEW/WEB VIEW The flexibility and simplicity of the user interface is available remotely, and requires only a web browser for use. No ActiveX controls are required and no software needs to be installed. The remote interface provides a full live feed view, with digital zoom options, control of PTZ cameras, multiple simultaneous feeds, and image quality settings to improve performance through bandwidth reduction. Playback is also provided with all the options of the local playback facility, and most of Console s configuration can be adjusted through remote administration. All of these features can be password protected at many levels to provide a powerful security system. Tel +44(0)

3 GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) Genieus Console 4.0 utilises a very flexible graphical user interface (GUI) that allows almost any arrangement of feeds on screen, even across multiple monitors a feature rarely found in other digital CCTV systems. Genieus Console provides direct access to all feeds configuration via a tree view that allows grouping of cameras as well as showing additional CCTV features such as sensor lists, plan views and access to alert and user settings. Below the list of feeds is access to the control mechanisms covering the layout of feeds and the positioning of Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Cameras. This section of the Console GUI is explained in more detail in the image on the right. The first section contains the controls for moving and zooming PTZ cameras, as well as jumping direct to preset positions, and a means for editing the preset positions. The second section controls the appearance of feeds on-screen, and provides for twelve individual layouts. These can be customised to provide layouts optimised for specific situations. One example of such an implementation might be a convention/exhibition hall, where camera focus can differ between events, but is always the same set of cameras. ± ± It is also possible to cycle through layouts automatically. The feeds change positions as each layout is set on a timed basis. This provides for a system where a small selection of cameras out of the total system can be on-screen providing focus, with automatic shifting to a different set after a time period, allowing the Console to be used as an effective and flexible monitor. Lastly, the Auto-Arrange facility allows the feeds to be arranged on screen in a best fit arrangement to keep the layout tidy. The PTZ controls are also duplicated on the web interface, keeping the user interface familiar.

4 GENIEUS ANALYTICS The Genieus product range features ICE motion detection. This new detection method gives much more information about what is happening in the image, and allows us to add advanced analytical functionality to our software. ICE functionality is performed by the software and not in the camera, enabling existing cameras to be utilised and investment maximised. When using ICE detection the software knows how many objects are in the image, which direction they came from, which direction they are currently travelling and so on. This enables us to embed some advanced functionality in the standard product. MOTION MAPS Genieus also has a powerful motion analysis tool called the Motion Map. When Genieus is performing motion detection it also records the points on the image where motion has been detected; in the form of a progressive map image. When this image is viewed, red points show where the most motion has been detected, whereas blue points show those areas with the least detected motion. The motion map system gives an instant and accurate representation of those areas where the most motion has occurred. The example to the left clearly shows the busy path between two locations. This process is used a lot in Retail Analytics. Motion maps show which gondolas and feature ends are busy and which are cold. Store managers can use this information to arrange their goods intelligently and thus drive customers to the required locations.

5 INTELLIGENT MASKING Another feature available from Genieus ICE is intelligent masking. In order to stop areas of unwanted movement causing false alerts most CCTV software solutions employ a masking technology, which prevents their system seeing the unwanted areas of the image. This involves the user selecting an area (often multiple areas) of the image to define areas where they do not want motion detection to occur. The image on the left shows a mask placed over a plant and a person. Conventional CCTV systems would ignore everything that occurs behind this mask. Genieus has an intelligent masking ability that works much better than the simple masking employed by other systems. The ICE intelligent mask allows selected masked areas to be ignored in regard to false alarms, but still tracks moving objects through these masked areas. The image on the right shows an object that originated from outside the mask still being tracked and recorded as it passes through the masked off area. APPLE iphone BROWSER Genieus Console also includes an optimised web view for the Apple iphone. Featuring an intuitive and easy to use design, the same camera and IO control is available from Genieus while on the move. iphone users are automatically redirected to the iphone interface whenever accessing the remote view. Login and view your cameras remotely, pan tilt and zoom or even turn the lights on or off from the palm of your hand! Also included as standard is the ability to playback recordings. It s easy to jump to motion events via the usual timeline, which shows peaks in activity. The iphone browser also features compatibility for the upcoming release of idomain, which links multiple camera installations together in a single web view. Tel +44(0)

6 ipeg ipeg (igenieus Priority Encoded Grouping) is a streaming video protocol that has been in development for over two years, and is unique to the Genieus CCTV system. It is a protocol optimised for the delivery of streaming video from CCTV applications over speed-limited connections such as broadband. The design goal was to deliver video to remote Genieus viewers at double the speed that was possible with earlier versions of Genieus, and we are pleased to say this goal has been surpassed. ipeg uses an encoder that is part of the built-in web server of Genieus. The encoder analyses the video requested, and only sends out those parts of the image that need to be updated at the web view. The Java applet decodes the ipeg data and restores the video. Because smaller amounts of data are transmitted, less bandwidth is used resulting in a higher frame rate and smoother display update.
