IntelliVision Technologies Corp. (IntelliVision), a subsidiary of Nortek Security & Control LLC and a company known for its AI and deep learning video and audio analytics software for smart cameras, has announced the latest release of the IntelliVision deep learning-based audio analytics library for smart cameras and other devices.
The IntelliVision audio analytics library can recognize and classify:
- Smoke/fire alarms
- Glass breaking
- Loud, abnormal noise
“Audio event recognition combined with video analytics gives a more complete picture of a suspicious event in the home or on commercial property,” says Vaidhi Nathan, SVP cameras and analytics, Nortek Security & Control. “A video camera on its own may not pick up a breaking window in another room, and a smoke alarm won’t be noticed until it’s too late if no one is home. However, audio and video analytics working together increases the likelihood that no abnormal event goes undetected.”
The IntelliVision audio event detection library provides analytics for audio events within a radius of up to 50 feet of the microphone and most smart video cameras today come with an audio channel. Future releases will add support for other noises such as shouting, gunshots, baby crying and dog barking.
