AI & Analytics

Modern security involves more than just up-to-date hardware; the chips within the devices serve as their brains. The rise of edge computing has led to significant advancements in security through the use of analytics. What insights can a camera sensor provide about its surroundings? How can it streamline and enhance decision-making processes? If AI isn’t integrated into your security solution, you are falling behind.

YourSixOS is built to support analytics that operate directly on the edge/device. We provide direct support for Axis Communications’ analytics, detailed below. Analytics play a crucial role in notifications. For more information on each analytic, including model support, please visit Axis Communications’ website.

Loitering/Time in areaYesYesYesAXIS Object Analytics or AXIS Loitering GuardTrack whenever selected objects stay in a defined area for too long, for example to detect loitering or monitor dwell time. An event is triggered if the object remains within the area of interest after your defined time has passed.
Long Range Object DetectionYesYesYesRadar Detection
Motion DetectionYesYesYesAXIS Object Analytics, AXIS Motion Guard, or AXIS Video Motion Detection
Object Left Behind or Suspicious Package/ObjectNoNoNo
Occupancy in AreaYesYesYesAXIS Object AnalyticsEstimate occupancy levels in a defined area where you want to count selected objects in real-time. You can also set up triggers for when the occupancy level reaches a set number of selected objects and collect data to gain insights.

Analytics in Video Monitoring

The YourSixOS Platform facilitates professional video monitoring by linking customers with a network of national central stations that can verify and respond to events detected by the system. The implementation of effective AI analytics enables central stations to verify events and minimize false alarms accurately. For all video monitoring scenarios, it is recommended to use AXIS Object Analytics (AOA) as the primary analytics.

  • Outdoor
    • Primary Analytic: AOA (AXIS Object Analytics) or PIR
    • Alternative: No alternative. The use of AXIS Motion Guard or AXIS VMD is not recommended for outdoor video monitoring and will result in high numbers of false alerts
  • Indoor
    • Primary Analytic: AOA (AXIS Object Analytics)
    • Alternative: AXIS Video Motion Guard (only use when AOA is not supported)
