This proprietary technology identifies 16 potentially suspicious events involving people, vehicles and objects. It delivers event detection and recording while increasing efficiency of security staff. Intuitive interface helps security personnel avoid confusion and allows for faster, easier training of new operators. Object selective recording increases efficiency of digital-video recording by capturing images of security events at a higher resolution than the background. The software integrates the security system with the response plan by issuing automatic alerts when specific threats are identified, allowing security personnel to take immediate action.
