Overview: All video analytics capabilities in Xeoma VMS
Xeoma has more than 40 video-analytics capabilities, from simple intrusion detection to counting guests at a café table. They are spread across the program’s editions, and the most specialized ones are added as separate modules. On this page we’ll walk through every Xeoma video-analytics capability, from the simplest to the most advanced, and which version of Xeoma you need for each one.

Xeoma can not only analyze the video stream on its own but also take in ready-made analytics from outside: cameras’ built-in detectors, your own neural-network libraries and thermal-imager data.
Takes signals from the camera’s own built-in detectors and sensors and processes them in a Xeoma chain — the analytics run on board the camera, with no load on the server.
Learn more about this capability →
Lets you plug in your own neural-network model and build a detector for your specific task right inside Xeoma — when no ready-made module for it exists.
Learn more about this capability →Takes data from HikVision thermal cameras: detects people by body heat in darkness, smoke and fog, and measures the temperature of objects and people at the entrance.
