How to differentiate video analytics capabilities per device?

[#1]

Different devices, whether cameras or encoders, offer a different amount of processing power for video content analysis (VCA).

This has effects on the supported feature set and detection distance. All Bosch IP cameras & encoders can be clustered by their “Common Product Platform” (CPP), so the CPP version will be used to summarize the differences between the versions.

Further differences are introduced because new features are often added with FW updates, because thermal camera videos have different visual properties than those of normal cameras, and because moving cameras (AUTODOME/MIC) sometimes need different handling.

In the Tech notes below, all of these differences are collected.

Step-by-step guide

• The technical note in the VCA_CapabilitiesPerDevice_FW660_Technical_Note.pdf attachment details device-specific as well as version-specific differences of Intelligent and Essential Video Analytics from FW 4.0 up to FW 6.60.

• The technical note in the VCA_CapabilitiesPerDevice_FW840_Technical_Note.pdf attachment details device-specific as well as version-specific differences of Intelligent and Essential Video Analytics with FW 8.40.

• The technical note in the VCA_CapabilitiesPerDevice_FW870_Technical_Note.pdf attachment details device-specific as well as version-specific differences of Intelligent and Essential Video Analytics with FW 8.70.
