Watch this video to see the car detection AI software testing I recently performed using the new Viewtron 180 degree IP camera. A customer thatI spoke to last week asked me at what distance the Viewtron IP-180-4 can effectively detect vehicles. That was the basis for this video test.

Vehicle Detection / Intrusion Detection AI Software

In the above screenshot, you can see the intrusion zone that I setup. That is the point at which the camera’s AI software detected my truck as a vehicle entering the intrusion zone. I measured that distance and it was 124 feet away from where the 180 camera is installed.

180 Camera Installation

The camera is installed on the wall next to CCTV Camera Pros front door at 12.5 feet high. In my testing, this is a great height to mount this camera at.

More 180 Security Camera Testing

Here is a another video that I recently made while testing the Viewtron IP-180-4. Just like first video on this page, I recorded this video using the Viewtron IP camera NVR that the 180 camera is connected to.

IP67 Weatherproof Rated: Best Wide Angle Security Camera

The housing of this camera is IP67 weatherproof rated which means that it can be completely submerged in water for a short period of time. Obviously if it can be fully submerged, it can hold up in the harshest of rainy environments, which we have tested here in South Florida where the humidity is almost always high. This ultra wide angle security camera can also be installed in very cold weather climates. It can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 131°F. The mount can be horizontal or vertically mounted (ceiling or wall mount).

There are many reasons that this is the best outdoor 180 degree security camera that I have tested.

Remote Monitoring from Mobile App for iPhone and Android

A few weeks ago, I made the above video to demonstrate the remote monitoring capability of this 180 IP camera from the iPhone app. The remote viewing and playback quality from the mobile app is outstanding.

I was in Colorado at the time and I was accessing the Viewtron IP camera system installed at CCTV Camera Pros. The IP-180-4 is one of the IP cameras connected to our Viewtron NVR. The above video shows the live security camera view and the recorded video surveillance playback from the mobile app. Although I was using the iPhone app, the user-interface and all functions are exactly the same on the mobile app for Android.

You can watch additional video demos using the Viewtron mobile app here.

Remote Security Camera View from Mac Software (PC Too)

While I was in Colorado, I also recorded this video which demonstrates the remote security camera viewing from the Viewtron Mac software. And yes, the Windows PC software works just as good and looks almost identical too. You can watch all of your security cameras live as well as playback recorded video surveillance software using the Viewtron VMS software for Mac and PCs.

You can watch additional video demos using the Viewtron video management software for Mac and Windows here.

Here are some additional features of the Viewtron IP-180-4 that make it so great.

Audio Surveillance Microphone and 2-Way Audio Communication

The Viewtron IP-180-4 has a built-in microphone and speaker. The microphone can be used to record audio. The speaker allows you to talk to people at the location where your camera is installed. The mobile app allows you to hold down a button to talk. There are also pre-recorded messages and alarm sirens built into the software that you can automatically play when an intrusion event is detected. You can also play these sounds manually by tapping buttons in the mobile app.

AI Software for Human Detection and Car Detection

The Viewtron AI software supports human detection, in addition to the vehicle detection that was demonstrated in the above video. The above screenshot was captured from the Viewtron NVR that our IP-180-4 is recording to. The green box shows the intrusion zone that we normally have setup in front of CCTV Camera Pros office. The purple lines show the AI software detecting the cars in the parking lot. Whenever a person or vehicle is detected entering the intrusion zone, the NVR records an event.

All AI events can easily be found on the NVR by the identification on the video playback timeline and also via the analytics search feature.

You can watch all of our Viewtron AI security camera video demos here.

AI Event Annotation in Mobile App

All of the AI events are also annotated in the mobile app and desktop software. You can see the video playback timeline above in the Viewtron iPhone app. All of the object detection / intrusion events that occurred in the timeframe that is displayed are annotated on the time line in yellow.
