ioimage video analytics help reduce thefts by 75 percent at Chilean fish farms
The second largest producer of farmed salmon after Norway, Chile experiences up to $2 million a year in theft of salmon and salmon eggs. With 28 salmon pools and a total perimeter of 8,000 square meters, Trusal runs one of the country’s major fish farms and was suffering significant losses from intruders, fishing boats and predators.
ioimage has announced today that Trusal S.A. has implemented ioimage video analytics to protect its salmon pools in Puerto Montt from threats approaching from sea and land. Since installing ioimage’s video analytics, thefts have been reduced by 75 percent and manpower by 30 percent.
Several logistical issues had to be taken into consideration in selecting an effective security system that would also minimize the incidence of false alarms.
“The layout of the sprawling property makes a perimeter fence unfeasible,” said partner and installer Andres Dieterich, Project Manager of Technology & Systems. “The solution had to be capable of detecting intrusion by boats and unauthorized persons, while differentiating between marine predators and harmless small animals entering the perimeter.”
Since surveillance was to be carried out over both land and sea, variable environmental factors such as precipitation and wind velocity needed to be addressed as well.
“ioimage offered the only solution that could deal with all of these problems with a single installation,” said Dieterich. “It gives us a high level of security in a complex setting with an exceptionally low false alarm rate. Some salmon farms utilize radar technology, which is ineffective without video verification. The ioimage system has reduced the need for operator attention to a monitor, enabling security staff to attend to other functions. In addition, installation was easy and the service has been excellent.”
“We are pleased to have been able to provide Trusal with a solution tailored to their multifaceted needs,” said Dvir Doron, VP Marketing at ioimage. “This project exemplifies how ioimage video analytics can efficiently and cost-effectively respond to challenging outdoor scenarios.”

Cernium integrates Perceptrak intelligent video analytics with Milestone IP platform
Copenhagen, Denmark – May 6, 2008 — Cernium Corporation, a leading developer of video analytics-enabled products, is now a Milestone Solutions Partner with Milestone Systems, a leading developer of open platform IP video management software. Cernium’s Perceptrak® software application is now integrated with the Milestone XProtect™ Enterprise IP video platform to deliver a seamless solution that provides full-spectrum analytics capabilities to enterprise-class IP video surveillance installations.
"Analytics are an essential tool for proactive video surveillance and should be available on every camera, all the time," said Craig Chambers, President and CEO of Cernium Corporation. "The integration of Perceptrak with XProtect delivers an unprecedented combination of power, flexibility and ease of operation at an affordable cost that allows analytics everywhere."
The new Perceptrak features Cernium's field-proven P-Core™ video analytics engine operating in the company's High Density Analytics Server™ configuration. P-Core enables any combination of behaviors to be detected on any camera and adapts to a wide range of environments and security policies for real-time, automated 24x7 monitoring. By also adding meta-tags to user-defined events of interest, Perceptrak can retrieve relevant video from servers within seconds to support investigations, mitigate risk or manage business operations.
The Milestone XProtect platform is a robust IP video management solution designed for any size enterprise. It optimizes bandwidth usage and scales to handle any number of cameras. Reliable and easy to use, XProtect allows operators to centrally, locally or remotely view live or recorded video to manage thousands of surveillance cameras from multiple locations simultaneously. Perceptrak works seamlessly within this environment to offer powerful analytics capabilities that help achieve safety and security objectives.
“The market is demanding surveillance capabilities that are easy to manage, and analytics leverage optimal use of video content for even greater return on investment,” said Eric Fullerton, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Milestone Systems. “Both Milestone and Cernium use open standards that allow for such value-added integrated operability, running on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware with unlimited scalability for a flexible, future-proof solution.”
Premiered at ISC West, the integrated Perceptrak-XProtect solution will be showcased again at IFSEC (12-15 May), at the Milestone stand 19171. See a PDF with screen images of the Cernium-Milestone integrated analytics-IP video management solution
