FLEX AI Setup and Use Guide, FLEX AI enables you to enhance camera capabilities, enabling them to detect and track previously unidentifiable objects. While many cameras can detect and track people and specific vehicle types, it is a different matter identifying shopping carts, forklift trucks, hovercrafts, or items on a conveyor belt.

FLEX AI: Get started

Summary:

FLEX AI enables you to enhance camera capabilities, enabling them to detect and track previously unidentifiable objects. While many cameras can detect and track people and specific vehicle types, it is a different matter identifying shopping carts, forklift trucks, hovercrafts, or items on a conveyor belt.

With FLEX AI you can create custom object detection models for solid objects that can then be deployed to cameras, enabling you to detect objects that standard analytics does not already detect.

It is a cloud-based application, and its results are compatible with deployment to P-series AI cameras.

How it Works:

FLEX AI operates on a subscription-based model, granting users comprehensive access to train, process, and download custom detection models for end customers. However, the allocation of licenses requires a careful consideration of each end customer, with a separate FLEX AI license needed for each one. This process is typically managed by a STEP Partner, who oversees the distribution of licenses to ensure effective deployment.

For actual deployment onto cameras, FLEX AI uses a perpetual licensing system, distinct from its subscription model. Each camera necessitates its own perpetual license to run FLEX AI models effectively. This approach ensures that users can deploy and utilize the models on their cameras without the constraints of a subscription-based licensing system.

In terms of training models, FLEX AI currently supports the MP4 format or tagged WAVE Sync videos for training.

NOTE: Each project can only train one model.

Camera Compatibility:

Refer to the following article: Which Cameras are Compatible With FLEX AI

Note: Each camera can only run one FLEX AI model, although it may run in parallel with WiseAI.

The FLEX AI Flow:

The general process is as follow:

1.Ensure you have a license to develop new models.

2.Sign in to Cloud Portal and select FLEX AI.

3.Create a new project.

4.Import training clips.

5.Annotate the clips.

6.Send the model for training.

7.Evaluate the model, and improve if necessary.

8.Download the model to your computer.

9.Upload the model to a compatible camera.

FLEX AI: What do I need to train a model with FLEX AI?

Summary:

This article covers what you need to build effective models with FLEX AI.

Training Requirements and Recommendations:

• A minimum of 20 annotated objects or training images for an efficient detection model (at least 30 are recommended)

• About 100 annotated objects or training images are recommended for a more robust model

• Draw the bounding box around the object as close as possible (try to not leave any margin)

• All target objects or training images must be labeled (i.e. frames chosen without annotation cannot be used in a data set)

• Ensure you are marking all things considered the same object to yours within a frame (the algorithm may not preform well if all similar objects within a frame are not properly included for training custom object detection of your desired object).

• Use video clips that contain several different angles, perspectives, and lighting of the object of Interest (OOI) (preferably from the same camera for which the training is being done)

• Use clips where the annotated object is not partially hidden so that the AI can learn what it really looks like (i.e. if you were teaching it what a person looks like, then annotating just an arm sticking out from behind a tree is not helpful)

NOTE: After you click Train, the data you have created is sent to the cloud and
the algorithm is trained to detect your object. This process can take anywhere
from 30min to 1 hr and depends on the number of training images you included.

Performance Issues:

The following may cause object detection to have performance issues:

• Challenging background conditions due to low light or changing weather (ex: rain, snow, sunshine)

• Object size differs within the field of view of the camera which is different from the size used while training

• Parts of the object are covered or obstructed

• Objects are in high density crowds or occluded

• Stacking (ex: a model trained on single shopping carts will have issues detecting carts stacked in a corral)

• Object is moving too fast

Camera Recommendations

• Use footage from the camera covering a fixed that the model will be deployed and used.

• The Field of View (FoV) should show your object with a minimum size of 20px x 20px.

• Installed cameras should be at normal video surveillance View (

• (CCTV view of 45 degrees or larger)

Limitations:

FLEX AI has the following limitations:

• Cannot detect non-solid objects such as gas/vapor, liquid, smoke, etc.

• Cannot deploy more than one custom model to a camera at a time. Detecting multiple objects currently requires multiple cameras.

• Cannot support a single model that includes multiple objects (ex: hardhat + goggles + vest) and identify a missing item.

• Cannot be used for identification or recognition of an object (ex: specific people, faces, animals, etc.)

• Cannot be used for detecting the orientation of objects (ex: a cart that is facing left or right).

• Cannot distinguish colors. FLEX AI does not take color into account.

• Cannot be used for detecting the fine-grain objects (ex: golden retriever vs dog, tesla model Y vs vehicle)

Processing Times

• FLEX AI is a cloud based application and requires internet access and processing time.

• The algorithm takes the images you’ve make, trains our object detection model to detect your desired object, processes the model to show you simulated performance on videos you’ve provided, and then packages the model to work on the camera.

• Each step can take multiple minutes, the initial Training can take about an hour (dependent on the number of marked images you’ve provided)

• When the training is completed, we then process the model to detect the object with the videos you’ve provided in the video library of the project. When the videos become available, their buttons become active with the “Ready to View” status.

• We also package the model for the camera and the download button becomes active when the file is ready.

FLEX AI: How do I create and manage FLEX AI projects?

• Use the Video Library to rename your video, see its status, or delete it.

• More angles and perspectives of your object will increase the accuracy of the AI model.

FLEX AI: How do I annotate objects?

Summary:

This article describes how to move through a training video and mark objects. The goal is to take a video clip and pause at several points in the video and annotate objects (draw boxes around) you are teaching FLEX AI to detect.

Step By Step Guide:

Annotating objects

1. Pause the video on any frame that contains the object of interest.

2. Draw a detection box around every instance of the object. There can be multiple instances of an object and each instance should have its own detection box.

3. Click the Tighten button (or the keyboard shortcut T) to resize the detection boxes.
This means you can save time by roughly drawing the boxes and then tightening.

Step 1: Roughly draw a box around the object

Step 2: Click the Tighten button (or press T) to quickly get you close

There will be times that FLEX AI does not properly capture the true edges of the object, that’s why the application allows you to readjust the edges of the box.

Step 3: Drag the edges/corners of a detection box to finely edit.

4. To remove a detection box, select the appropriate box and click the Delete key on your keyboard.

5. Click Save (or the keyboard shortcut S) to save the marked detection boxes.

6. Once you have drawn the necessary detection boxes, click the Train button. Your project will be unavailable during the training period which typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number of annotations.

NOTE: Since training is done in the cloud, you can work on any number of other projects
while a project is training.
.

NOTE: The blue detection boxes also appear in the This Frame’s Detections area after you
save. It is recommended that a minimum of 50 detection boxes be defined before your
initial object training is complete. An AI model can include detection boxes from
multiple video clips.

Keyboard shortcuts

You can save time and effort when navigating video, marking, tightening and saving annotations, by using the keyboard shortcuts below.

FLEX AI: How do I improve my object detection model?

Where can I find configuration guides for legacy 3rd party camera installations?

https://turing.ai/resources/turing-vision/user-manuals
Cannot view 3rd party camera Live view on Turing NVR or Turing Vision but cameras show online.

Check the encoding setting of the camera to see if you have enabled H.264+/H.265+ or any advanced compression technology. If YES, please turn it off. Advanced compression technology is proprietary and cannot be supported.
How to add a brand new 3rd party camera into Turing Vision?

Follow up with manufacturer’s installation guidelines to activate, setup cameras, turn on ONVIF, make sure 3rd party cameras are in the same LAN as Turing NVR. Then refer to Turing Legacy installation guidelines for the rest steps.
Can I use the Turing NVR to Change the Third-Party camera settings?

Generally, No. The ONVIF protocol can work with time and encoding but usually not with intrusion zone or motion detection settings. It is important to set them in both places to ensure the work.
Do we utilize Main, Sub, and Third Stream in the Turing Vision Platform?

Yes. The Main is for the HD streaming, the Sub is used as default up to 2*2, and Third is used >2*2.
How long does it take for the camera settings in the Turing Vision Platform to update?

It may take up to 5 mins to update the camera setting display here if you made any setting change on NVR or Camera. Please be patient with the updating of information to the cloud.
Will there be any 3rd stream recommendations?

Not exactly, usually the 3rd stream is the lowest resolution stream, compared to the main or sub stream. Just make sure the 3rd stream is lower than 720p.
Cannot connect camera to NVR and it shows error message: user lock out.

This is because some 3rd cameras have a protection mechanism if the user name/password is incorrect, you could either wait for a certain time period or simply reboot the camera.

How do I install HD Digital Video Recorder?

M.Salih ASLAN — Sun, 17 Jul 2022 10:53:01 +0000

When you have an old security camera system and need to improve performance across the board without spending too much, installing a new high definition digital video recorder can be the perfect solution. The HD DVR does not necessarily require additional hardware or software to be implemented, rather conveniently able to use the old analog cameras and wiring already in place. So while new equipment like HD CCTV cameras may help, they are not absolutely necessary. To be clear, such a system can be put in place when the surrounding equipment includes:

Analog security cameras
Coaxial cables
Mouse and keyboard
Viewing monitor

Installing a new DVR to your old security camera system is an easy process, requiring only a small number of steps before full functionality is acquired. This is the perfect first step that will not break the bank when you do not want to undertake the costly transition to the next generation of equipment. As previously highlighted in a post about upgrading old security systems, the installation process goes as follows:

Configure the hard drive (if necessary)
Install the hard drive into the HD DVR (if necessary)
Remove the old DVR
Implement the HD DVR
Configure the HD DVR settings
Connect each camera to the recorder

As seen, the installation for a high definition digital video recorder is exceedingly simple when the cameras, wiring, and other components are already in place. As previously Such a device helps to produce higher quality video for viewing and also allows for modern features such as:

Addition of video analytics
Adjustable resolution and quality
Allow for modern hardware upgrades
More channels
Remote viewing and streaming

These features are generally not possible in an old analog system due to the lack of technology. A new security DVR capable of high definition video quality is designed with modern features that enhance security and owner capability. For example, video analytics can be applied to a new high definition digital video recorder to benefit homes or businesses track details like license plates and foot traffic. Another modern example added with newer technology comes with remote streaming becoming possible through the new port to connect to a router.

What are the advantages of an HD DVR?

Further exploring the benefits and features brought by a newer high definition digital video recorder, a home or business owner can enjoy a superior performance out of their security camera system with one installed. Immediately after installation, the implementation of previously mentioned features like video analytics and remote viewing is possible. While commonplace in modern security camera systems today, streaming video footage on your phone from your cellular device is invaluable. This advantage is simple when the recorder is connected directly to the router accompanied by the system owner having the recorder and camera addresses on hand.

On the other hand, video analytics requires more equipment and fits a different niche in your security camera system. Implemented through a mix of software and hardware, an HD DVR can function with devices like license plate capture cameras and security cameras that can pick up facial features. While not as standard on strictly analog recorders, such additions are possible.

In addition to physical improvements that can be added, an HD DVR has more variants that include more channels and hard drive space. Examples of such can be seen in a new 16 channel DVR and those with more that cater to massive in-scope security camera systems. More channels provide more room for cameras and more space for larger hard drives.

After implementing an HD DVR, homes or businesses have the option of also using newer security cameras and applicable devices. While not necessarily capable of working with next-generation cameras like the internet protocol or pan tilt zoom cameras, they can work with more sophisticated analog devices.

Why purchase an HD DVR?

As described above, an HD DVR offers to improve an old analog security camera system across the board. Less expensive than implementing next-generation upgrades, this recorder offers to enhance the quality of incoming video footage, even from older security cameras. Furthermore, the newer recorder offers more channels, easily fitting the original surveillance cameras while still having room for newer cameras that provide new features and better quality video footage. Such a video recorder is an excellent option for those looking to save money while still having room later for upgrades and additional hardware. Better yet, this HD DVR can be installed in the already in place coaxial wiring and be activated to run with the old cameras.

How much does an HD DVR cost?

Unlike hybrid recorders and NVR systems, HD DVR systems generally stay below one thousand dollars in price and often go well below that price tag with few exceptions. Examples of that can be found on A1 Security Cameras with manufacturers like:

Bosch
Dahwa
Samsung Hanwha Techwin
Hikvision
LTS Security
Oculur
Speco

HD DVR systems by these manufacturers and more are available on A1 Security Cameras. Whereas prices will vary depending on features like compression, channel capacity, storage capacity, recording resolution, and more, these devices will remain completely affordable. In addition, while the price will effectively reflect the device’s quality, it will be below that of more modern recorders due to its being older by design.

What is the best brand of HD DVR?

A1 Security Cameras offers a multitude of high definition video recorders by reputable and trusted brands. Dahua, LTS, Digital Watchdog, and Samsung Hanwha have produced the most popular HD recorders we present. These devices offer a performance that excels beyond what is generally expected out of analog systems while still offering excellent quality footage that can be streamed or transferred elsewhere. As shown, you do not have to break the bank when looking to improve your security camera system and while installing the device yourself without any physically demanding labor.

For more tips on how to improve your security camera system or how to design a new one, reach out to the A1 Security Cameras team today. We offer excellent systems like recorders, security cameras, and more that can benefit how you keep your business or home secure.

The 10 Best Video Management Softwares (VMS)

M.Salih ASLAN — Wed, 05 May 2021 19:24:12 +0000

Picking security cameras isn’t the only important step in implementing video management softwares. The software behind the camera must support the functions each user is looking for. Refer to the list below of the best video surveillance software options to choose from.

The Best Security Camera Softwares

iSpy Video Surveillance Software

iSpy is an open source security program that connects to IP cameras or webcams. The software supports unlimited cameras and allows viewer access on the iSpy website or on individual devices. iSpy also has a text to speech component. This allows for someone to talk via the website as well as monitor and listen to any microphones. Other functions include notifications when motion is detected or systematic time-lapses and snapshots. iSpy is a trusted video surveillance software with more than 2 million users worldwide. The software is free to download and use, but accessing cameras remotely requires a paid subscription. Additionally, there are some restrictions in terms of computer compatibility that may require a user to download an older version of the software.

EyeLine Video Management Software

EyeLine Video Management Software is an attractive option for customers looking for a security software option that supports many cameras. EyeLine can monitor and record over 100 camera sources simultaneously. The software provides options to watch footage in real time on-site or online with a remote login. The motion detection component saves space by only recording footage when something is happening on camera. Some customers have had issues with certain cameras being supported, so it is recommended to stick with USB connected webcams.

ContaCam Video Management Software

ContaCam software positions itself as being fast, light, and versatile enough to meet any security needs. Setup of cameras is easy, requiring users to simply decide between motion detection or continuous recording, enter a camera name, and configure how long files should be kept. The software offers a daily summary video creation option and is well integrated with technology for license plate recognition. ContaCam is known to have stable performance but occasional difficulties when pairing with IP cameras.

ZoneMinder

ZoneMinder is a popular option for both home and business security. The software is known to be incredibly easy to setup and works with a wide variety of security cameras. Customers have few negative responses to this software as it is more than just a single piece of software– its a whole suite of apps. These applications work together to provide quality business surveillance. ZoneMinder is well designed and makes it easy for any individual to find what they’re looking for quickly.

Ivideon Server

Ivideon is regarded as the better of the free IP camera recording software available. The software alerts users appropriately and promptly of any sound or unusual occurrences. The algorithms within the server detect movements as subtle as flickers in lighting fixtures that ordinary surveillance software systems don’t usually pick up. The base software is free, but customers must subscribe to use the cloud service. Additionally, the software tends to operate well, but some customers claim it is a bit basic compared to competitors.

Blue Iris Software

Blue Iris is a popular cloud based video surveillance system that allows anyone to view and control camera feeds remotely. The software is compatible with a huge selection of third party cameras, but is known to run sluggishly with higher end HD cameras. The full version of Blue Iris does not require any additional licensing for multiple cameras and it is easy to combine all cameras at one property into a single, interconnected system. The software offers a large amount of video editing and playback options, but some customers have noted there are often time lapse gaps.

Luxriot Evo

Luxriot Evo is a completely free video management software that is focused on delivering top performing software as well as customer service. The software features a number of editing options from audio editing to frame accuracy and digital effects, and even has an option to stream video directly to YouTube Live. Although the software works with nearly every IP camera, it cannot support more than 10 channels, so it is best for a small office or business.

WebcamXP VMS

WebcamXP offers versatility that other camera software don’t. The software is designed to work well with different types of cameras and offers various streaming modes. It essentially takes Internet connection and turns it into a security system. WebcamXP can connect to mobile devices and computers and transmit video in real time or capture stills and short recordings.

SmartViewer

Developed by Samsung, SmartViewer is compatible with NVR and DVR cameras and devices. The software supports up to 72 devices and offers multiple viewing options. Although not an entirely free service, SmartViewer allows a user to view favorites and search the data according to the type of event that happened.

Camcloud VMS

Camcloud is a hardware-free cloud based video surveillance platform providing fast and fail-safe monitoring. The software auto-detects cameras and easily configures each camera for the cloud. The cloud stores all critical footage for up to 90 days and users are able to access and manage their cloud archive through a timeline available on Camcloud’s website and mobile app. Local storage options ensure that even if a camera or site loses internet connectivity, everything will still be captured and can be later reviewed within the cloud.

Default Password NVR – IPCAMERA

M.Salih ASLAN — Sat, 01 May 2021 23:58:01 +0000

Default Usernames, Passwords and
IP Addresses for Security Cameras

Forgotten or lost login credentials information needed to access surveillance systems or individual components is a fairly common occurrence for Security Owners. Specifically, user names, passwords, and IP addresses are all touched on in this article. The information found on this page will be applicable for a wide range of system applications and types (including, but not limited to) smaller residential systems on up to enterprise/commercial systems and even integrators trying to help their customers!

We will warn you that some equipment manufacturers have ‘advanced product lines’ that may include unique login credentials. In these cases, the standard login credentials may not apply. If the default password doesn’t work, try referencing the installation manual specific to that product. These manuals are often found online by searching your particular part number with some light digging into those online search listings you’ll find it. Our A1 service team can provide manuals to you if you are unable to locate them.

Below is a chart that lists default credentials by manufacturer/brand name. If you or someone with access to your system has changed any default values, the default credentials would no longer apply. We recommend resetting the equipment first. We’ve provided reset instructions below; resetting your security equipment is also something our A1 team is happy to help solve. Below is an easily referenced chart for you; hope it helps! Reach out to us if it does not or for any other service needs, you are unable to resolve yourself!
