• There is also the option to only run the object classifier when the custom minimum motion is exceeded.
• The object tracking algorithm comes with local flare and noise suppression, and the addition of a framerate option.
• Additional overlay options allow the solution to be tailored easily to site requirements.

2. New third-party system integrations

The new integrations connect the power of the CathexisVision VMS to several third-party systems, enhancing site efficiency and operational effectiveness. 

• Nedap Access Control: CathexisVision now integrates with AEOS, Nedap’s access control solution.
