DIVA as an reliable open platform
Combining the above mentioned “ingredients”, the
DIVA platform makes it possible to cover customer requirements
regarding security and marketing related
video surveillance. The DIVA platform is designed to
be an open platform, meaning that it can communicate
with products of different manufacturers in different
markets with the use of plug-in software.

DIVA project in Poland: The Lech Stadium Functionality for the operator
High-End Security Management
Scalibility
The DIVA platform offers a high level of scalability,
enabling the platform to offer the solution closely
matching the functional requirements of the customer.
Scalability is offered in different dimensions:
1) System dimensions
2) Functionality for the operators
3) Intelligent features
System dimensions
With respect to system dimensions the DIVA platform
can be scaled from a system for only several cameras, a
single storage server and one viewing monitor up to the
largest and most complex cases like the DIVA project
recently in Poland, the Lech Stadium in Poznan (video
and audio monitoring including intelligent features) and
the prestigious installation at the Formula 1 circuit in
Abu Dhabi which supports over 900 cameras and feeds
the CCTV images to multiple operators simultaneously.
For the customer this translates into high stability, cost
efficiency and preservation of investments for the future.
Functionality for the operators
In our view the most important user of a DIVA platform
is the “operator”. In our definition operators vary
from the office manager looking at a split-screen of
the entrance and parking cameras up to the security
officer responsible for guarding the premises, office
buildings and warehouses. The varying profile of each
operator demands a tailored presentation of exactly
those video images and functions that are required.
The DIVA platform offers all of such features with the
extensive user rights and fully customizable screen
layouts. For the customer this translates into a tailored
functionality adjusted to operators using the system.
Intelligent features
Finally the DIVA solution is scalable in the offering of
various optional intelligent Video Content Analysis
features such as Object Tracking, License Plate Recognition
(LPR), and Face Recognition. The available
suite of intelligent algorithms can amplify the responsiveness
of the DIVA system through automated
detection of the occurrence of specific events. The
detection of events is translated by the DIVA interpretation
mechanism into pre-defined actions for the
DIVA system to take. These actions include for example
audio signaling, camera highlighting, enhanced
quality recording and the presentation of predefined
viewing monitor layouts. For the customer this translates
into increased reliability and agility of the DIVA
platform.
DIVA offers the solution closely
matching the functional requirements
of the customer.

The core: Video Management software
The very most essential part of the DIVA solution is
the software application itself, available in three software
packages.
NVDR – Network Video Data Recording
A server based software application developed for
storage and handling of incoming video streams with
the optional Video Content Analysis applied. This
application also manages incoming metadata of any
external source, such as (XML) data/messages from
other connected third party systems, that can be
integrated in the database of the NVDR server(s) to
activate the action – reaction principle.
NMS – Network Management Software
Once installed, the NMS takes care of operator
and management tasks. The NMS can exchange information
with multiple NVDR servers. It is the main
instru ment for the user/operator to manage all security
and safety related matters. The NMS Graphical
User interface (GUI) can be totally customized to its
users or groups of users, enabling all their rights and
restrictions, which is another strong element within
DIVA management.
DIVA and Facial Recognition
NVSP – Network Video Software Package
This basically is a standalone software application
that combines the functionality of the NVDR and
the NMS in one application. It also can combine the
“stand alone” functionality for local management of
all connected cameras but in the same time be a part
of a bigger DIVA network where more NMS (or NVSP)
servers can connect to the video data recording part
of the “stand alone” NVSP server. With additional software
plug-ins for use of intelligence, like image processing
algorithms, DIVA provides another important
key feature to video surveillance and security management.
The available suite of intelligent software
plug-ins provides the needed efficiency and comfort
for any user/operator towards the essence of video
observation. VCA algorithms such as Facial-, Object
and License Plate recognition nowadays are essential
for the efficiency of security surveillance.
DIVA ® DIVA is is available in in server-, client-, and
stand-alone stand alone licenses & additional software
plug-ins for adding more effi ciency.

DIVA and License Plate Recognition DIVA and Change of View Recognition DIVA and Object Recognition
DIVA Intelligence
Facial Recognition | FaceR
FaceR can isolate faces from video images and digitize
them into metadata. Metadata points are placed
on eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. The found face
print can be compared with the person lists (black-
or white list). With a match or mismatch an event can
be created. Besides comparing face prints with the
person lists, risk profiles can be programmed to detect
people returning within a pre-defined period. All
these events can be used to trigger macros from other
components.
Object Recognition | ObjectR
ObjectR can isolate & classify objects from video
images into several categories. Events are created
when a rule is violated. Objects who enter a specific
area, crossing a tripwire, loitering, leave behind or
take away items can be marked as an event. These
events can be used to trigger macros from other
components. Multiple rules can be set per camera,
together with the event/macro feature an amazing
number applications are possible. This algorithm
can also be used for people counting (unique) for
marketing purposes.
License Plate Recognition | CarR
CarR can detect number plates from video images
and can also classify them into country of origin. The
found license plate number can be compared with
the license lists (black- or white list). With a match or
mismatch an event can be created. Besides comparing
license plate numbers with the license lists, risk
profiles can be programmed to detect vehicles returning
within a pre-defined period or vehicle counting for
parking purposes.
Scene Recognition | SceneR
The CCTV camera itself is an important device. The
right angle-of-view, contrast, white balance and more
adjustments are necessary for getting the best result
of the needed image produced by the camera. If a
camera’s view changes (deliberately or by innocent
mistake), the installed algorithm (intelligence) will not
work anymore. For that reason, SceneR has been developed:
a smart camera tampering detection algorithm
that can analyze video images on change of angle
and/or loss of detail.
SceneR is the ideal tool for the automated maintenance
of network cameras. It also can be used in a
high secure environment where it can be configured
in such way, that within one second an alarm will be
given if a camera in the network has been moved,
covered or the image itself has been become unfocused
and not giving a perfect image anymore.

IP based
Using IP technology the system itself is no longer
limited by any number of physical video inputs as with
a digital video recorder. The camera has become an
addressable device on the network as well are monitor
decoders and I/O contact units.
Like in every standard network, scalability is achieved
by connecting routers and switches to attach more
devices. In effect this means that only the network
bandwidth and the hardware specifications set a limit
to the number of cameras that can be connected on
that network and hardware. Another advantage with
respect to analogue technology is that separate wiring
(such as coaxial cable) for each device is no longer
needed. Existing analogue cameras can be included
in the IP system using an analogue /IP converter
(encoder).
Processing and storage
Processing multiple video streams with additional
video-analytics, require powerful and reliable hardware.
DIVA uses only state of the art and powerful
Intel technology. The 19" high performance servers
we provide offer a variety in storage solutions with
reliable RAID configuration and heavy duty hard disks
that are specially developed for 24/7 non-stop performing:
reading and writing video-data.
There is virtually no limit to the number of cameras
that can be implemented with a DIVA solution. The
limitation of how many cameras a single server can
handle mainly depends on the specific type of processor
technology and storage capacity.
DIVA is an IP based security management solution
Key features
User management
Once the IP network is realized and the hardware
server(s) are configured as advised, the next strong
key feature presents itself as an essential part of the
DIVA solution: User Management. User accounts can
be created and edited by the system administrator(s).
There is a wide variety of functions and features that
can depend on the level of authorization the administrator
has granted for users and user groups. Some
features are: access to cameras, monitor layouts, user
events, event search, playback options, modification
of settings and more options for an effective use of
DIVA.
Statistics
Engineers, technicians and network managers are very
well informed by the statistics tab in the DIVA software.
It shows a real time overview of the network activity
of all connected devices. This can be used for the finetuning
of camera-, recording- and profile settings.
Profi les
A profile is a combination of the systems settings that
can be set to change on a predefined time frame or
in a predefined situation. These settings apply to all
or some of the connected devices (such as: camera
settings, motion detection settings, storage settings).
The systems macro commands are also profile related.
Profiles can easily be created within the DIVA application.
Once a profile is completed it can be (de)activated
by the built in calendar function, external XML
commands, devices, internal macro commands, user
events, and I/O contacts. With such a smart profile
option, the possibilities within effective security will
increase the safety with certain efficiency.

Database
Data of all events are stored in the database and are
related to the associated stored video images. For all
cameras that have motion detection enabled, all motion
activity is also stored in this database as “motion
events”, enabling very efficient searches within each
recorded camera stream. More specific information
can be stored in the database if video content analysis
(VCA) algorithms are used. The metadata from these
algorithms are also related to the stored video and
can be used for event handling and event matching in
“black list” and “white-list” functionality. For example:
when using FaceR, the metadata (face-print) from a
scanned face will generate a “face found” event and
the file will be stored in the database. Simultaneously
the new entry will be compared against previous
stored metadata of faces. This could result in a “face
match” event, in addition to the previous described
“face found”, if the comparison comes up with a
match. The database enables to efficiently find
information that is stored by events, so called “smart
search”.
Another possibility to optimize the DIVA interaction
is using information from sources outside the
DIVA platform and providing information from the
DIVA platform to third party sources. To provide this
functio nality a software development kit (SDK) is available
to structure the communication of messages to
and from the DIVA database. This HTTP/XML based
SDK enables the interaction (and smart search!) to and
from other systems. A common example is to provide
event information of matched faces and license plates
to a ‘third party’ access control platform. The other
way around this access control might send commands
to us, instructing the DIVA to switch monitor layouts,
select pan & tilt presets, change profile settings and
more.
Metadata
As described above: events generate data about the
detection process, called metadata. These data are
stored on the server(s) and are available for use in
other applications Stored metadata of ObjectR can
even be used to evaluate recorded video afterwards
with new or other rules.
Diva Match
The DivaMatch screen shows the last 1,000 recognized
events and returns the images of the best results of
the stored matches.
Diva Search
With this “smart search” feature, the database will be
searched for images that correspond with the required
event type over the selected time frame. Based upon
criteria as motion, scene changes, object behavior,
license plate numbers and faces, the corresponding
events will be listed with the attached reference image.
Cameras
Using high-resolution cameras within the DIVA concept,
live images are displayed and stored in perfect
quality. The user will have the full benefit of the resolution
of the monitor panel in which it is displayed.
DIVA also offers digital zoom (with the mouse wheel)
that can even further increase the value of these high
resolution images when the operator quickly needs to
focus on a certain part of the image. The DIVA platform
is an open platform that supports a large number
of camera brands. Scene detection (anti masking) &
motion detection are standard software profile features
for each camera.

Abu Dhabi Airport &
Yas Marina F1 circuit
It was quite an honor that DIVA has been chosen as
the main Security Management platform for the High
Secure environment of Abu Dhabi Airport by supplying
DIVA encoders with Object Recognition software.
The complete system is based on 15 de-centralized
servers. Storage takes place through a high-end SAN
solution and through the DIVA Platform Management
System, all images will be shown to the operators in
the video control center. Of course this takes places
through the implemented Object Recognition software,
so the operator only will be triggered if a serious
event occurs on the airport: an increase of efficiency
towards reliable video surveillance.
Another prestigious DIVA project in Abu Dhabi is
about the Yas Marina F1 circuit. The past 2 years, the
F1 circuit in Abu Dhabi organized with a lot of success
the famous F1 Grand Prix Tournaments. For the need
of security, the entire CCTV installation has been
powered by the innovative DIVA video management
system.
The Abu Dhabi Police and the Yas Marina F1 Circuit
security operators are now using almost 900 cameras
for observation and monitoring the public areas and
general surroundings of the F1 circuit. The complete
system is based on 54 IP video network hardware servers
with a total storage capacity of 1 petabyte (1,000
terabyte). Intelligent features are executed with Video
Content Analysis (VCA) to detect luggage that has
been left behind in public areas using object recognition
software. To scan the license plates of all cars that
enter the circuit area, our VCA named CarR has been
implemented with success.

EURO 2012 in Poland
Euro 2012 is coming to Poland and heavy preparations
have already been made for this popular soccer event.
The Lech stadium in Poznan, Poland, is one of the
brand new soccer stadiums that use DIVA for its security
management in and around the soccer stadium.
With a complete range of Megapixel cameras and PTZ
domes all spectator areas, access ways to the spectator
areas and entrances are monitored and observed
for complete safety during events.
Next to video observation & recording, the brand new
stadium is also using audio recording by targeting
microphones that are all installed above the spectator
areas. The result is a complete coverage of video and
audio that has been realized to follow the strict safety
regulations during Euro 2012.
To secure the system itself, a failover server is installed
to ensure the online status of other connected
servers. This “back-up” server will come online if one
of the servers is defective and appears to be offline.
The failover server automatically takes over the entire
configuration of the offline server with all its settings
and tasks, ensuring the continuous security and safety
of Euro 2012.

Security management in parking areas Safety and security in public environments
DIVA users
Because DIVA is the sum of multiple security solutions,
it can be used for multiple purposes within a wide
range of industry- and market segments.
Building Management and security
DIVA is the ideal solution for building management
and security. Access control combined with solutions
as video observation, intercom and alarm management
will give all together a reliable solution within
one platform including a digital record of each facility
as mentioned. This means a total and complete coverage
of security related information that is necessary
for the safety of any environment.
Parking area
A seamless integration of License Plate recognition
with sophisticated access control gives DIVA the
benefit of accurate controlling towards any possible
parking area. With the use of Video Content Analyses
(VCA) it even is possible to register and recognize certain
vehicles for generating automatic actions within
the DIVA system.
Public transportation
Based upon the flexibility & video based management
of DIVA, it perfectly fits into the need of security within
the Public Transport. Specific demands such as
large-scale video surveillance with specific triggerevent
management for immediate action on multiple
locations at the same time are within reach using
DIVA as the security control system. With already the
knowledge and experience, we are certain that DIVA
is the solution.
Retail
Also within retail environments, DIVA already has
proven itself as a valuable system with large possibilities.
Features as 24/7 video surveillance, high storage
capacity, access control and POS (Point Of Sale), are
being implemented in the security concept. DIVA is
taking care of the safety management within retail.
And there is more, concerning the usability of DIVA.
Next to the fact, it can be implemented as video management,
or even security management system, the
DIVA platform is already available in several languages
to personalize it all for a better understanding.
