i use their analytics and they seem ~95% accurate.

@Team, is anyone aware of any agreement or licensing between VCA and Avigilon/OV?
With Avigilon rattling sabres lately, vis a vis its early adopter program, and anticipated patent program revenue expansion, do you think there is reason for concern?

Is this a new version of what they showed at ISC West 2015?

8 1080p streams is twice the total pixels of 16 D1 streams.
Are they really processing them as 1080p or??

it all depends on the resolution, processor, and fps. you take the sub stream on the camera and set it to D1 at 15fps and you can easily get the 16ch...however...most people are buying ip cams for the high res... and the concept of the bridge is to take the stream, analyze it and put out video with the metadata tracker boxes...so whatever you put into the box is what you will get out of it with the tracker boxes...which feeds into your vms.
I use a vms which allows me to send a stream for the analytics at 15fps min, then send the main stream of full 3-5MP for recording based on motion or analytics event. Using an i7 processor, I am running a max of 25-32 cameras with the VCA analytics.
it took some experimenting, I initially used a dual xeon server to find it was using 20% CPU for the entire VCA and VMS. So i used an i7 and it used the same or less CPU, so i was able to cut costs on servers.
its a mix of cpu and memory but mostly cpu for the analytics.
15FPS min is required for VCA... so those arecont quad cameras that put out 5-7fps will not work with vca.

@Undisclosed 1 Integrator Which VMS are you using with VCA products?

UDP. Buzzword clash.
ONVIF? Really? Onvif-with-no-ipvm-compatibiliy-heartburn-noises? So this thing has (wait for it...) standardized interfaces?

So UDP is a Korean company that is a parent of VCA.
OR
VCA is a UK(?) company that OEM's UDP.
OR
Something else?

I am still trying to figure out where to buy VCA products. Their sales staff seems to be loaded with product info, but not very helpful on giving me an actual distributor that I can buy product from. If anyone here knows of a US based dist carrying the VCA product line, I would love to hear about it.
On a side note, I have tested a VCA based camera from SnapAV (Visualint 4350) with Spectrum and feel like they work well together. But I would like to get my hands on the appliance so we can add analytics to existing installs.

They pre-announced these units quite some time ago, I believe ISC West 2015.
I believe at this point Thrive Intelligence (Allied Universal) is their largest purchaser/proponent.
The analytics overall looked quite intriguing as an alternative to VideoIQ when I was on the hunt for a replacement. However, it's not plug, play, and learn like VideoIQ. There is a significant amount of calibration regarding setting camera height, angle of view, depth of field, and other data necessary for it to determine the object classification based on relative size/shape.
VCA did have some cool features not available in VideoIQ though. The analytics also integrated with Milestone quite well.
