Analytics – Power Off Nightly
This is one of the example of what our system could detect.
The customer’s system’s power is switched off daily after the store closes.
Without consistent monitoring every night after store closure, these accidental lapse in procedures would had gone unnoticed until recording are required for period when the system switched off.
Do the the automated multiple daily checks our systems perform on the store’s CCTV system, these lapses are captured and highlighted to customers.
This enable remedial actions to be taken to avoid system unavailability when footage are required.
Check Recording
We now have a filter to check DVR’s recording status.
Click on System Status->Checking Recording
It’ll filter and show only DVR with possible recording issues.
It’ll also highlight the number of days of recording.
Any system that has less than 21 days (3 weeks) of recording will be assigned a warning status (Orange).
Currently, systems that are newly installed and contains less than 3 weeks recording will also be highlighted here.
We’ll be looking at ways to differentiate and remove these systems from this list shortly.
Recording Status Monitoring for AVTECH
Recording status is now supported for AVTECH equipment.
At a glance, you’ll now if the system is recording at the moment and if there’s sufficient storage to cater for your usage. Warning will be displayed if recording period is short.
You’ll be able to make informed decision if you want to readjust the recording setting to lengthen the recording period, or increase the storage to cater for longer period of recording.
If the system is configured wrongly or with the recording function disabled, it’ll also displayed a error message.
This is very useful if the system recording configuration is done wrongly or disabled. The harddisk may be working properly, but a wrong configuration could result in no recording to the system.
There are certain version of AVTECH equipment that’s not supported. There are some version known to have buggy firmware.
Motion Detection Activities Chart
As not all systems are advanced to support Video Analytics for People Counting, we had also developed a module that allows users to analyse the motion activities at their stores.
It is not as accurate as People Counting but it will give an indication of the amount of activities in the stores at different period of the day/different days of the week/months.
Click on the Motion Activities Icon and you’ll be able to see the motion activities throughout the whole day.

You can choose to log down people who come into your store and knowing when is the peak hour of your store, or to capture people who walked by outside your store and know if the rent you pay is justifiable.
If your system supports it and we had integrate in with our module, you’ll be able to see a People Counting icon in your Action menu.
