Partner Brief
Unlock new possibilities by extracting value from video data AOPEN Digital Security & Safety: A computer vision partnership between Intel, Milestone Systems, SAIMOS, and AOPEN As the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has continued to develop, computer vision has emerged as one of the most essential pieces of technology for areas like manufacturing, retail, and smart cities. The value of being able to leverage camera data is enormous, but doing so requires: • E xceptional hardware positioned at the edge, to avoid the latency associated with sending information back to a data center, security issues around transmitting data, and bandwidth limitations. • I ntegration with any existing hardware including alarms and cameras, temperature sensors, microphones, access control, and more. • R eliable operation around the clock: downtime for maintenance can be disruptive and costly. Intel has partnered with AOPEN, Milestone Systems, and SAIMOS to bring a new all-in-one computer vision solution to the market that satisfies all the requirements listed above. It’s a platform called AOPEN Digital Security & Safety - available in five different SKUs built to support a range of use cases. You can view these in the appendix section.
Blending analytics, hardware and software capabilities As system integrators working in the digital security industry know, the complexity of building solutions that can address the complex and fast-changing needs of customers requires a careful blend of technologies. This section lifts the lid on the critical components of a fully integrated computer vision solution.
SAIMOS: Use cases for video analytics SAIMOS provides video analytics software that comes loaded onto the solution out of the box. It provides a variety of powerful features that can be used across a range of computer vision use cases. These include: • 2D and 3D counting and heat mapping – useful in retail scenarios, for example, in determining areas of a shop where people spend their time. • Perimeter protection – for example, for detecting entry intro restricted areas. • Object detection – for the detection of objects blocking hallways, or for detecting objects that have been removed, for example.

• Licence plate recognition – for use in car parks, for example. SAIMOS has also been working on solutions to help businesses manage the impact of COVID-19: these include counting concurrent customers in a store to ensure social distancing and detecting customers who are not wearing face masks.

AOPEN: Built for workloads on an industrial scale AOPEN provide the hardware layer – which consists of five different SKUs in three different form factors.
Customisable - Support for more than 8,500 cameras and devices so you can choose the ones that suit your requirements. Includes access to a community of integrated applications, hardware and services that add extra value and capabilities to your system. Scalable – VMS requirements come in all shapes and sizes, from a few local cameras to thousands spread across the globe. When you need to adjust or expand your initial set-up, you can. User-friendly – the software is designed to be simple to learn and easy to use without compromising on advanced capabilities Secure - XProtect comes with an array of security mechanisms that help keep your system and its data protected against internal and external threats.
DEX5550-MS – designed to run in tough environments and to help ensure end-to-end protection of video integrity, making it ideal for applications such as airport and smart city security.
Intel: Powering edge workloads Intel hardware provides a powerful backbone upon which the solution is built: • 7 th and 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processors are designed to support low-power applications at the edge. • I ntel® Movidius™ VPUs are designed specifically to accelerate computer vision and AI inference workloads at the edge.
DEV7610-MS and DEV7610 MS AI X4 – while the former focuses on analytics, the latter includes an Intel® Movidius™ VPU making it a good fit for industrial automation workloads.
• T he Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit can be used to optimize existing trained AI models – Intel is currently working with SAIMOS to integrate it into its architecture.

DEV8430-MS and DEV8430-MS AI X8 – again with the former focused on analytics, while the latter includes an Intel® Movidius™ VPU and is aimed at satisfying industrial automation workloads. Both feature higher storage capacity than DEV7610 SKUs.
Milestone Systems: Safe and reliable video management solution (VMS) Milestone XProtect VMS comes pre-loaded onto the solution as standard. With 20+ years on the market, XProtect has more than 500,000 installations worldwide across a wide array of use cases. The software is: Reliable – Offering a high-performance, native 64-bit Windows recording engine.
The Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit is a free, downloadable toolkit that helps developers fast-track the development of high-performance computer vision and deep learning into vision applications. It enables deep learning on hardware accelerators and streamlined heterogeneous execution across multiple types of Intel platforms. It includes the Intel® Deep Learning Deployment Toolkit with a model optimizer and inference engine, along with optimized OpenCV and OpenVX libraries and functions for computer vision. This comprehensive toolkit supports the full range of vision solutions, speeding computer vision workloads, streamlining deep learning deployments, and enabling easy, heterogeneous execution across Intel platforms from device to cloud.
