Latin America. Hitachi has introduced its new video analytics software to enhance and extend its portfolio of Smart City and Public Safety solutions. Hitachi Video Analytics, HVA, allows, from the screen of a computer, to observe an advanced analysis to extract rich information and generate alerts in real time. Among the capabilities it offers are:
• Operational and business intelligence: People counting, queue detection, activity analysis and image enhancement, to provide information that helps cities, businesses and other organizations improve the operations and experience of their users or customers. It also helps protect individual privacy.
• Smarter Transportation, Traffic and Parking Management: Vehicle counting, traffic analysis, parking space detection and license plate recognition help cities and businesses improve traffic and parking for residents, travelers and customers.
• More effective public safety: Intrusion detection, left objects detection, facial recognition, and camera tamper alerts provide valuable tools for public safety departments to help keep people and property safe.
"Cities and businesses looking to fully benefit from digital transformation need visibility into a variety of data. And as attacks and natural disasters in public and private areas continue to increase, safety has become a priority. Video is a significant opportunity to increase operational efficiency, ensure security and serve as a force multiplier, but also, the use of video technologies continues to increase privacy concerns," said Ruthbea Yesner Clarke, global director, smart cities strategies at IDC. "With its proposal, Hitachi is helping public and private sector organizations harness the full potential of their video assets, without neglecting people's privacy."
HVA can help customers make optimal use of their video data, providing critical intelligence that can help improve operations and better protect people and assets. Cities, airports, transportation systems, campuses, factories, and business environments are examples of the types of organizations that can benefit from Hitachi's powerful video analytics solution.
