2020: Start of cloud video analytics

The Satellite Innovation company (Macroscop trademark), the resident Klastera of information technologies of Skolkovo Foundation, announced start of cloud video analytics. On November 25, 2020 the Skolkovo Foundation reported about it. On start two intelligent modules will be available to users of Macroscop Cloud. In the nearest future the functionality will be complemented also with other options demanded in a server product of Macroscop.

Developers place emphasis on video analytics: at the initial stage users of Macroscop Cloud will be able to use the face recognition module (for access control to the premises) and the module of calculation of visitors (for increase in efficiency of marketing efforts, optimization of the working schedule of personnel and control of number of people indoors).

Unlike many other software makers developing cloud video surveillance, Macroscop does not limit users in the choice of cameras. Such approach gives to the customer freedom in equipment selection, proceeding from specific objectives and the budget. For connection of devices it will be required to receive the white IP address or to configure VPN connection.

Working on Macroscop Cloud, we set the task to report to the user quantitative results of work of video analytics. Depending on settings all necessary information can be obtained by e-mail or to look in mobile application in the form of notifications and regular reports.

Use of Macroscop Cloud does not require impressive investments on the server hardware and the additional areas for its placement. According to developers, the cloud solution will be demanded at small offices, shops and institutions of a public catering and also in the companies with a distributed network of representations and branches.

This solution very organically supplements the products of Macroscop company which are already existing and enjoying popularity and at the same time does them by more flexible in relation to end consumers. Also significantly the audience scope at the expense of a possibility of use of the solution not only large, but also medium and small business extends. It says about the thought-over and purposeful strategy of the company on an output of the product to the market.

The server product of Macroscop for November, 2020 includes more than 20 intelligent modules.

2019: In composition of a contactless domofoniya from BAS-IP

On October 22, 2019 Macroscop (Russia, Perm) reported to TAdviser that they together with the producer of the intercom BAS-IP systems (Great Britain) created the system of a contactless domofoniya based on work of neuronets of deep learning. On-door speakerphones and the call panels are a line of the devices BAS-IP managed by the software of Macroscop with intelligent modules. Read more here.

2014: Macroscop Cloud 2.0

In 2014 there was a cloud software version of Macroscop Cloud 2.0 intended for creation of services of video surveillance. Key features of Macroscop Cloud 2.0, such as cloud computing architecture, multilevel separation of access rights, implementation of settings via the Web interface and REST, allowed to draw attention and to cause interest of large telecommunication operators. The direction of cloud services was actively studied since fall, and by the end of the year already 4 telecom operators started VSaaS-services based on the software of Macroscop. At the moment testing is conducted by more than 30 telecom operators.

• Video surveillance in real time. The user connects service and the camera, and manages everything via the normal web browser. Video is recorded in the protected archive which is on servers of the company Mark and 7 days are stored there. Video is available to viewing and downloading.
• If the camera has a microphone, it is possible to record not only video, but also a sound.
• Access to video surveillance in real time and to historical records can be received from any device - the smartphone, the tablet, the computer - via the web browser.
• Search in detection of the movement.
• To use service, it is necessary to purchase the IP camera, the router and to connect service through subscriber department or a personal account.

2015

Macroscop supports the Optimus brand

On July 23, 2015 the Macroscop company announced integration of Optimus video cameras with software of Macroscop^[1].

In Macroscop several technologies directed to decrease in the total cost of the video system due to economy on the computing equipment are implemented:

• Economy on servers
  • in Macroscop function of the analysis of video flows without their complete decoding which use leads to increase in data processing rate at the expense of what loading on the central processor decreases on average by 4 times is implemented. By means of it the user can connect to one server with Macroscop 4 times more cameras. The second option of economy ― this use of less powerful, so, less expensive processors, and reduction in cost of the server hardware.

• Economy on client computers
  • in Macroscop the possibility of transfer of a part of transactions of the decoding necessary for display of video flows, on the video card is implemented. Use of this function provides decrease in loading of the processor of the client computer to two times, and a possibility of use of computers of smaller power, so, and costs.

• Economy during the work with mobile clients
• in Macroscop support of video in H.264 format by mobile applications for devices based on iOS and Android is implemented. Thanks to it, the server of the video system does not need to make unpacking and recoding, i.e. there are no additional loadings, computing resources of the server are saved.

As a result economy of resources of the computing equipment is reached in systems on the basis of Macroscop for the account:

• technologies of the analysis of video flows without their complete decoding (by 4 times saves server resources);
• decoding of video flows on the video card of the client computer for display (saves resources of the client computer twice);
• processings of video H.264 on mobile web clients.

In Macroscop 2.0 completions are published

On August 14, 2015 the Macroscop company announced a release of the added version 2.0 of software Makroskop^[2].

Macroscop software screen, 2015

Changes in a client part of software

• New ergonomic design of Macroscop Client;
• The compatibility for different versions of the server and the client is implemented.

Intelligent modules

• The detector of smoke and fire is developed;
• The mode of development 4x90 for the cameras FishEye is added;
• Development for video playback from archive for the cameras FishEye is implemented.

Work with cameras and archive

• Export of archive on several channels is implemented;
• The utility of viewing the unloaded archive on several channels is released;
• Active Directory integration is implemented;
• The control of rotary cameras (PTZ) in the mobile client for Android is implemented.

Advanced functionality of the disturbing monitor

• The feature for an automatic exception of the channel of a grid after the set interval is added from the moment of emergence of alarm;
• The protection mode option "Is added display only on the disturbing monitor" (in that case on the others of the monitor of alarm will not be displayed).
