Key technologies
- Analytics by Camera
- Analytics by Camera includes Intelligent Motion Detection (iMD), Video Content Analysis (VCA), Face Detection, Face Recognition, and Video Metadata by Camera. The analytical metadata is created by the Luminys cameras at the time the video is encoded. The NVR leverages these camera-edge analytics to create smarter video for the end-user to ease their video searching, authentication and video capabilities.
- License Plate Recognition (LPR)
- License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology is supported by Luminys LPR cameras. This technology improves safety and operational efficiency by automatically capturing and reading vehicle license plates for easy and accurate identification.
- LumiViewer
- LumiViewer streamlines security management by providing real-time surveillance, playback of historical footage, and instant alarm notifications. With features like device sharing, an alarm hub for safety alerts, visual intercom for video calls and door control, and remote access management, LumiViewer ensures comprehensive and efficient monitoring. The platform is available for desktop and mobile devices.
- LumiCloud
- LumiCloud is a Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS) solution powered by a variety of algorithms that provides the ability to search, receive alerts and analyze patterns of detections across locations and historical data. Data is centrally stored in the cloud with easy access from web browsers and smart phone apps. LumiCloud supports high-resolution video streams, ensures clarity, and provides real-time access from anywhere. This platform provides advanced analytics, customizable alerts, effective bandwidth management, and simple subscription-based scalability. LumiCloud Lite is included with this NVR and offers many of the LumiCloud key features, however cloud recording does require an upgrade to LumiCloud with a paid subscription.
