VCA has many benefits to the user:

• Robust tracking engine - highly sensitive but with a low false alarm rate; resistant to sources of false alarm due to changing environmental conditions, e.g. illumination, rain, foliage movement and wind-induced camera shake.
  
• Unlike competitor systems there are no algorithm parameter adjustments. VCAsys adapts automatically to varying lighting and weather conditions.
• Simple detection zone set up via a web browser interface with no special software required.
• A VCA enabled encoder or camera can be used as a stand-alone intruder sensor. The digital output contact can be directly connected to the trigger inputs of recording or alarm systems.
• Industry standard HTTP API for configuration and event notification and RTSP for video streaming. XML based event and tracking data output.
• Cost effective modular software approach allows users to pay for what they need rather than what they get.
• Built in analytics stabilization enables it to work with swaying cameras without performance degradation
• Rapid 'learning time' of ~ 5 seconds. Can be used with PTZ cameras - detection is suppressed during camera movement. 
• VCAsysPC - Windows compatible Visual C library for PC based central server systems.
• System Loading:
  • DaVinci DSP CPU loading less than 25% (IP products)
  • PC CPU loading <5% per video channel (PC based systems)
• Comprehensive documentation and source code for example 3rd party applications is provided, along with direct access to integration support from VCA's engineering team, free of charge.
