How Does Agent Vi Video Analytics Software Work?
Agent Vi’s patented, all-software platform eciently partitions the analytics workload between the edge and the
network. The camera processes the original captured video and transmits results onto the network as ultralow
bandwidth data packets. Agent Vi’s virtual management software, which can run anywhere on the network,
processes Agent output packets and generates meaningful events based on rules dened by the user.

The Agent Vi software contains a module that performs the raw processing of images as seen by each camera
in the eld prior to any image compression. This process is called feature extraction. The result is very
low-bandwidth data (usually less than 20Kbps) which is transmitted to the server for further processing.

The brain, and main component of the software, sits anywhere on the network and receives and processes data
streams from any number of cameras with the embedded agent connected to the network. Using the patented
distributed processing architecture, Agent Vi performs a wide range of software pre-congured detection
missions in real time. All the system data, including event detection rules and detailed event history, resides
on a central database that also provides backup, retrieval, and extensive reporting capabilities.

Agent Vi is designed for easy integration inside video devices such as IP cameras, DVRs and video encoders.
