video security and monitoring stack, which im-
prove user experience, deliver a higher quality
video data for analysis and help to protect pri-
vacy.
These include:
Object Detector
• Most video analytics solutions available today
only analyze video pixels or provide a simple
trip-wire methodology that can lead to high
rates of false-positives.
• In contrast, HVA’s Object Detector technology
provides 4-D reconstruction of two-dimen-
sional video images by using particles, per-
spective, velocity, path deviation and travel
distance to improve accuracy and dramati-
cally reduce the number of false-positive inci-
dents - even in the case of poor visibility due
to inclement weather.
Scenario-Based Analytics
• Ensures that each analytic module uses a
custom algorithm for the analytical engine to
improve performance and accuracy to further
reduce the risk of false-positive incidents.
• Privacy Protector
• Cities, government agencies and private en-
terprises all share a common concern for the
privacy of their constituents and customers
when using video security and monitoring
technologies.
• To address this, HVA offers automated and
enhanced identity protection.
• Many technologies today only offer the ability
to pixelate faces, which can still reveal per-
sonally identifiable information (PII) like cloth-
ing or body areas.
• HVA’s Privacy Protector feature automatically
detects and protects entire human figures. In
addition, it tracks and records all access to
video data to help support transparency and
help combat misuse.
• This feature can also be crucial for organiza-

tions like hospitals and schools, where the
privacy of patients and minors is vital and
protecting PII in video data can help to re-
duce risk and liability.
Video Enhancer
• Filters out interference like rain and snow,
which could negatively impact video reso-
lution, to provide clearer views and support
high quality video monitoring and more accu-
rate analysis.
Camera Health Monitor
• Provides automated detection of camera-
tampering or damage.
• HVA’s Camera Health Monitor will send an
alert if issues arise to ensure valuable video
data can be maintained as continuously as
possible.
HVA is the latest addition to Hitachi’s Smart City
and Public Safety solution portfolio and builds on
the company’s expansive expertise in IoT and
video technologies.
HVA integrates with and extends Hitachi Video
Management Platform (VMP): a powerful virtual-
ized storage, networking and compute appliance
that offers high availability, fault tolerance and
simple, cost-effective scalability.
It can also be used with Hitachi Visualization
Suite, which integrates internet of things (IoT)
data from video cameras and other disparate
systems and sensors to provide a map-based
unified view for enhanced situation awareness.
Together, these solutions form a comprehensive
video stack designed to help Hitachi’s govern-
ment and private enterprise customers unlock
greater value and insight from video data to im-
prove operational efficiency, enhance customer
experiences and increase security.
