The electronic security product distributor Norbain reports that it can now offer customers the SafeZone-edge video analytics app from Digital Barriers.
SafeZone-edge is claimed by the firms to be the first product in its class to deliver performance comparable to that of conventional server-based analytics. It can be installed onto compatible AXIS cameras. It is UK Government certified (under the official i-LIDS scheme), and is aimed at secure facilities and vulnerle commercial sites. The product’s auto-calibration feature dispenses with complex scene calibration tasks, allowing multiple cameras to be installed without fuss, it is claimed.
Intelligent processing means adapting automatically to seasonal and site conditions (such as variable illumination, shadows, weather) that can otherwise cause nuisance alarms. In a real-life operational test over a week, replacement of a video motion detection product with SafeZone-edge resulted in a nuisance alarm reduction of 10,000-plus to one, the makers says.
Simon Moore, Buyer – CCTV and Intrusion Products for Norbain, says: “Norbain is excited to announce this partnership and we consider the talented team at Digital Barriers to have developed a truly innovative product that will help change the face of the analytics market. We believe our strong pedigree distributing Axis aligns us perfectly to deliver SafeZone-edge to the market and we look forward to sharing this exciting new brand with our customers.”
Dan Meyrick, Sales and Business Development Lead for SafeZone-edge, adds: “Digital Barriers are extremely happy to welcome Norbain as a SafeZone-edge distribution partner. We are looking forward to working closely with the Norbain team to marry the capabilities of this innovative new product with their extensive market knowledge and reach.”
