Pilot, Geutebruck's new three-part management console incorporates the latest computer technology in a flexible modular design which takes individual operator comfort, convenience and performance to unprecedented levels. Stylish but sturdy with polycarbonate scratch-resist surfaces, Pilot/Center, Pilot/Joy and Pilot/Jog can be used as separate units or plugged together in whatever arrangement you want for the easiest right- or left-handed operation. Instead of inflexible specialist firmware, Pilot uses miniaturised PC technology and a Windows 7 operating system. This, combined with a 800 x 480 pixel 7" TFT touch screen display provides much greater potential for customisation, achieving superb control and excellent ease of use. The possibilities are vast and the limitations few. Buttons can be displayed, depending on the function, automatically or by the user, hidden or arranged in a new configuration. Coloured back-lighting indicates different operational situations and helps provide the ideal overview for fast intuitive operation. Programming functions for intelligent layout or command summaries make operation simpler and more interactive, while help functions and intelligently restricted options avoid incorrect operation. The USB connection and power supply design includes additional redundancy and security for operating and managing digital video matrix components like the GeViScope, re_porter or GeViStore systems. Pilot/Jog is ideal for extracting relevant picture footage and backing it up onto your desired storage medium via the Pilot/Center's USB port. Pilot/Center integrates seamlessly into existing Geutebruck video security management systems via the network and alarm interface, and together with the Pilot/Joy joystick unit it constitutes the ideal interactive control unit for easy and effective video monitoring of complex operations. Pilot offers control just the way you want it. This is a modular touch-control device which will adapt to complex industry-specific workflows, to the needs of an individual company and to the personal convenience of a specific user.

3-D video sensor function in real time with measurement times from 40 ms to 10 s for very fast and very slow movements. 128 freely definable detection fields for analysis of highly complex picture contents. Extremely low false alarm rates due to reliable suppression of global disturbances in conjunction with parallel real-time analysis of various algorithms. Classification of recognised objects in the categories vehicle, person and other objects. Automatic switching of the operational mode (e.g. day/night, summer/winter). Analysis options with regard to the respective object status (stationary, leaves the scene, starts to move) and the object‘s properties (speed, size).

G-Tect/MoP is a new motion privacy (MoP) function which pixelates moving objects in live displays or in already archived image data. This Geutebruck innovation provides an additional data protection safeguard by reliably maintaining individual privacy when monitoring sensitive public areas.  This form of masking allows observers to identify any relevant incidents and to follow events in the scene in some detail but prevents them from recognising the identity of individual people or objects. Operators with appropriate system user rights can still access original un-pixelated video for investigating important details in critical surveillance situations, and un-masked video can still be made available for evidential purposes.The G-Tect/MoP function software runs on the client unit and is integrated into Geutebruck’s GSCView operating software for GeViScope and re_porter devices. It can be applied to video in all standard and megapixel formats, live and/or recorded.  Masking can take the form of pixelation or smear and it can be applied simultaneously to as many licensed channels as desired.

‘Hybrid was yesterday; the future is omnibrid,' is how Geutebruck is heralding the introduction of its new generation of setup and operating software for GeViStore and GeViScope platforms this spring. Not only does this high performance software support analogue, digital and megapixel cameras as well as ONVIF-compliant IP cameras and even16/9 HD-format ones, but it also enables any M-JPEG and H.264 based standard digital compression processes (including specialist video surveillance ones like MPEG4CCTV, H264CCTV) to be used in the same system. This multi-standard capability means that more than one compression standard can be used in one single system and the end-user is no longer tied to one particular process. And, if a camera signal is not available from the source in the optimised MPEG4CCTV format, then the M-JPEG stream can be trans-coded in real time.From Geutebruck's point of view the arrival of ‘omnibrid' software marks another significant step towards achieving the ultimate goal of producing video security systems which record only those images which are really relevant to the user, and which give him the best possible conditions for extracting the valuable information from them. Geutebruck's video sensors and intelligent video analysis software already offer a reliable and proven means of efficiently selecting, managing, and minimising relevant material for onward transmission and/or recording, while its own specialist, CCTV-friendly, standard-compliant compression processes retain fluid motion, and consequently valuable detail, in situations and processes where the vast majority of other H.264 implementations only hesitate and shudder. However, until now the only IP cameras whose video stream could be processed using Geutebruck's video analysis software have been those few with added functionality.‘Omnibrid' software lifts this restriction and opens the door for much greater flexibility in product selection. It also provides more scope for intelligent data management, enables the use of different compression formats for different purposes, and gives system designers much more scope to achieve optimum customisations.

Geutebruck's new ‘VA-Missing' software reliably detects the removal of static objects from video-monitored scenes in museums, galleries and other exhibition venues, and in some environments it also provides useful information on abandoned objects.  VA-Missing compares the current image with its own background model of the scene and checks out discrepancies for matches with freely-defined criteria such as location, duration and object size (corrected for perspective).  It avoids unwanted alarms by continually updating its background model to incorporate gradual changes - such as slow moving shadows, and by suppressing transient changes - such as those generated by passers-by.Now available as an integrated option in new equipment or an easy upgrade for GeViScope CCTV platforms, VA-Missing can be run on any video channel irrespective of whether the image source is analogue or IP.  Separate licence activation is required for each channel.  More details available here.

Geutebruck video analysis algorithms are already deployed in more than 50,000 digital video cameras round the world.  Now, with its latest software offering, VCA4IP, Geutebruck is making these tried-and-tested professional video content analysis algorithms available for installation in third party IP cameras when used with re_porter or GeViScope CCTV systems. Activity detection (AD), video motion detection (VMD) and Dual-Sensor functions are each available separately by individual licence.  AD provides reliable movement detection for indoor and selected outdoor applications with a very low false alarm rate owing to the effective suppression of environmental influences.  For critical outdoor applications where you want to differentiate between objects of different sizes, movements in different directions and at different speeds, then VMD is the best choice. It can ensure that permitted movements don't trigger unnecessary alarms, by for instance, ignoring vehicles leaving a site, or small animals straying into the scene.  For exceptionally high targeting accuracy and even better suppression of unwanted alarms, Geutebruck's Dual-Sensor uses video motion detection and object classification algorithms in parallel, with alarms only being triggered when both sets of criteria are met.VCA4IP can process resolutions up to several megapixels.  Built-in diagnostics report sabotage and monitor the connection status and contrast levels to avoid the generation of false reports.  Any number of parameter profiles (day/night switches) can be stored for each camera channel.  All camera channels are easily configured in the standard user-friendly set-up screen. 

Reliable motion detection for recording control. Consideration of the direction of movement. Integrated video signal monitoring. Automatic switching of the operational mode (profiles), e.g. day/night, work times. Algorithm to differentiate between local and global picture changes for efficient false-alarm suppression.

Geutebruck CCTV systems can now retain high quality video for long periods using only a fraction of the normal storage capacity.  Their new ‘fading long term memory' (FLTM) option reflects the fact that, where different kinds of event are discovered, handled and investigated in different timescales; there is no real need to continue storing video at the full 25 fps for a month or more, if lower frame rates suffice after the first few days.  FLTM software therefore enables you to progressively reduce the frame rate of your stored footage as time goes by, in accordance with your assessment of residual risks.Let's imagine your system has to deal with robbery, vandalism and fraud, and you have to retain a video record for 30 days.  Robberies are discovered and pursued promptly, so within three days all relevant 25 fps footage has been reviewed and backed up.  Vandalism is dealt with in a week and 6-7 fps footage is adequate.  The timescale for fraud is longer but 1 fps provides the necessary evidential detail.  Normally, for high quality real-rime video @ 4Mbit/s, storage per camera would be about 43.2 GB per day, or 1.3 TB for 30 days.  But with FLTM you only need: 3 days @ 25 fps ≈ 130 GB + 4 days @ 6.25 fps ≈ 90 GB (differential compression reduces data by about 50%)+ 23 days @ 1 fps (I-frames only) ≈ 70 GB  A total of only 290 GB per camera - which enables you to make significant hardware savings without any loss of benefit, utility or security.

Sabotage and manipulation recognition. Fully automatic function and position monitoring of your camera (automatic reference picture monitoring). Flexible message response for technicians, security personnel and safety officers in case the camera fails or is rotated. Flexible system reaction, e.g. switching on adjacent cameras or a speed dome with a fixed position as a replacement camera.

128 VMD fields, freely definable in terms of function, position, size and sensitivity. Measurement times from 40 ms to 10 s for real-time detection of very fast and extremely slow movements. Three-dimensional analysis using automatic perspective selection. Algorithm to differentiate between local and global picture changes for efficient false-alarm suppression. Recording and analysis of object size, direction and speed. Automatic switching of the operational mode (profiles) e.g. day/night, working times. Integrated picture-content monitoring.

Geutebruck's new ANPR software for its GeViScope and re_porter digital CCTV system platforms is available as a fully integrated option on new equipment or as an easy upgrade for existing installations. Suitable for use with moving or stationary vehicles up to 20 metres away travelling at speeds of up to 100km/hour; this real time ANPR analysis function delivers a recognition accuracy of 96% under optimal conditions. You can run the function on any video channel or channels irrespective of whether the image source is analogue or digital, so long as you hold a separate licence for each channel.By combining the associated metadata with the picture data, the software module ensures that your system's video database can be searched by registration number or other factors. It offers a black & white list holding up to 1000 entries, and the opportunity to group number plate data into categories, for example by vehicle type. It can trigger a variety of configurable system actions according to the specific status category of the identified vehicle and is consequently ideal for controlling the automatic operation of barriers or gates to parking or loading areas and private property.

Geutebruck’s G-Tect/VMX is a new video motion detection solution for professional use, which is both extremely quick to set up and exceptionally reliable. It not only detects movement but differentiates between potentially relevant moving objects and background changes. G-Tect/VMX continuously analyses and evaluates all picture contents, and regularly adjusts its ‘understanding’ of the background. Thanks to the latest smart algorithms which continually adapt to the current image contents, G-Tect/VMX offers unprecedented accuracy at suppressing unwanted alarms caused by systematically occurring environmental effects such as moving foliage, rain, snow or headlights. It recognises these images changes resulting from weather as a systematically occurring background changes and therefore tolerates them.  Setting up a sterile zone where any intruder triggers an alarm is a simple mouse-clicking operation.  Configuring direction-dependent detection for a zone is quick and easy too. You can then copy settings across to other alarm zones and cameras with similar site conditions, for example to set up a series of cameras to monitor a fence. Finally there is a single intuitive global sensitivity control to optimize all the settings. – This minimalist design approach to system settings slashes the time required for system installation and makes it predictable. G-Tect/VMX is designed for seamless integration in the Geutebruck system world and comes with licence-free activation of Geutebruck’s classic VMD detector, to enable legendary dual sensor operation and the best possible protection of critical areas. Also being unveiled alongside this detection solution is Geutebruck’s new G-Tect/MoP pixelating function which maintains data protection privacy for public access areas by automatically masking moving objects in live displays or archived image data while still allowing authorised personnel access to the full image for serious incident investigation and evidential purposes.
