Question

Can I visualize Bosch camera metadata in Milestone XProtect?

Answer

With Bosch SmartSuite for Milestone XProtect, operators can apply advanced on-camera inferencing and visualize metadata directly in the XProtect Smart Client. This enhances situational awareness and makes analytics actionable.

Key Capabilities:

• Bounding boxes and shapes around detected objects

• Trajectory lines for movement tracing

• Attribute icons for object classification (e.g., person, car, truck)

• Dynamic object counters that increment or decrement in real time

• Auto-tracking of detected objects using PTZ cameras (IVA task-based or click-to-track)

Customization Options:

• Change bounding box colors based on alarm status

• Display textual overlays with a person for IVA Pro Appearance attributes (e.g., gender, clothing and hair colors, accessories like bags and backpacks)

Supported VCA Licenses:

• IVA Pro Buildings (people, vehicles)

• IVA Pro Traffic (person, car, bus, truck, bicycle, motorcycle, vehicle color)

• IVA Pro Perimeter (person, bike, car, truck)

• IVA Pro Appearance (person, vehicle, gender, clothing details, hair, accessories)

• IVA Pro PPE (hard hat, safety vest)

• IVA Pro Visual Gun Detection (gun-in-hand)

• IVA Pro Intelligent Tracking (advanced object tracking)

Benefits:

• Improved situational awareness; monitor attributes in a structured manner

• Flexible visualization tailored to project needs; enable and disable whatever inferencing you need

• Scalable and cost-effective thanks to on-camera inferencing; no dedicated extra servers required!
