Can I visualize Bosch camera metadata in Milestone XProtect?

Question

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!

Tip: SmartSuite is free-of-charge and consolidates metadata visualization with other Bosch integrations for Milestone XProtect.
