U-Filter

How does U-Filter work?​

U-Filter enhances your existing security system's capabilities. Triggered by events which are recognized by your camera, U-Filter can literally filter these events in order to drastically reduce false alarm rate turning primitive features to an infallible defence system.

U-Filter works as follows:

  1. Events are triggered by your cameras on motion / intrusion.
  2. The camera sends an email with video snapshot attachment to U-Filter.
  3. U-Filter analyses the image and determines if the alarm is false or not.
  4. If the incident was real U-Filter sends a notification to your Operator software.

Supported systems​

  • Immix CS
  • WinGuard
  • E-mail

Security & Privacy​

Before using U-Filter, please be aware of the following:

  • Incoming emails are bound to authentication.
  • Login uses authentication.
  • U-Filter can accept emails on an encrypted channel - it is recommended to use it. It is possible to receive emails in a non encrypted channel, but is not supported.
  • The disk on the server should be encrypted, as the databasse itself does not use ecryption.
  • Messages are encrypted across the components middleware / API / Load balancer / backend.

U-Filter does not store camera images - they are kept only during the analysis process. The only images U-Filter may keep are the ones needed for ROI / Size filtering, and only if such options are enabled.
