Intel OpenVINO

Detects objects, faces and license plates in the camera image and makes recordings searchable by description. It is optimized for Intel hardware: processor, Intel graphics or Intel NPU.

What it does

• Object detection: people, vehicles and animals
• Face detection and face recognition
• Finds license plates and reads their text
• AI search by description; with the multilingual model also in Russian and about 100 other languages
• Finds people who look alike across cameras (Person Re-ID, switched on per camera) and outlines people, vehicles and animals (segmentation)
• Uses a detector that ViON Cloud trained on the footage you reviewed, once it is published
• Answers yes/no questions it was trained for about a detected object, for example "person with a bag"
• Lets you pick the exact device on systems with several graphics cards

What you need

• Linux or Windows
• On Windows with Intel graphics up to 10th gen Core (HD/UHD Graphics 610 to 630), use the OpenVino Legacy plugin instead: the drivers of these chips do not work with the current OpenVINO version

Settings

• "Device": 'Default' finds the device itself (NPU, GPU or CPU); AUTO lets OpenVINO choose; CPU, GPU and NPU force one device; numbered entries such as GPU.0 and GPU.1 select one of several cards.
• "Active Hardware": shows the device the models currently run on
• "CLIP Model (Images)": the AI search model for all cameras. After changing it, reindex the recordings.
• "Face Recognition Model": one model for all cameras. After a change the saved faces are processed again.
• Per camera: the models for object detection, face detection and license plates. "Default" follows the recommended model.
