Integrating with existing cameras to enhance functionality.
Monitoring highways, bridges, tunnels, and tollways.
Improving operations for port authorities and other critical infrastructure.
New PTZ-Analytics: Unlocking Legacy Infrastructure
Broaden your safety coverage on existing PTZ traffic cameras with Automatic Incident Detection. PTZ-Analytics enables passive PTZ cameras to function as 24/7 intelligent safety devices, even on legacy cameras where presets or position feedback is unavailable. No new cameras, no new cabling — just a software upgrade that puts sunk investments to work.
- Rapid AI calibration: In peak traffic conditions, PTZ-Analytics automatically generates a detection zone in just minutes by observing real-time traffic flow — no preset positions or manual mask setup required.
- Automatic scene adaptation: When an operator moves the camera to a new view, PTZ-Analytics reinitializes and adapts automatically, restoring detection coverage without operator intervention.
- Vision Zero protection: Stopped vehicles, pedestrians, and debris are detected and reported automatically, 24/7, across every view the camera occupies throughout the day.
