Agilence Acquires Video Analytics Provider Vidient Systems

Agilence, a provider of PoS video auditing solutions, has purchased the assets of video analytics company Vidient Systems. Agilence plans to modify and extend the technology and combine it with its Hawkeye platform to offer new applications and benefits for the transportation and retail industries.

Vidient's video analytics solution has primarily been employed by the transportation industry. The software analyzes video feeds, recognizes suspicious activities and then can report these activities to end users and other systems. The software can monitor secure areas, parking lots, exit lanes, loitering people, stopped cars and abandoned objects. Agilence will adapt the solution to provide additional use cases, including people and vehicle counting, wait and dwell time assessment and congestion detection

“Vidient devoted significant time and resources to developing their technology and fine-tuning the performance of their analytics,” said Derek Rodner, VP, Product Development, Agilence.
