Digital Barriers has launched its Cloud Video Platform (CVP) after beta trials with key partners. From launch, CVP provides automatic video alert verification, camera tampering alerts and face detection, all from a cloud service, for users to analyse their video and to retrieve it where it is needed. The volume of video being captured and stored by organisations is on the increase each and every year and is typically locked away within a corporate data repository, the firm says. This video is rarely viewed or shared due to the cost and complexity of analysing it or viewing it at the point of need. According to the product company, CVP can help users identify what’s important, using video analytics, and it can compress live and recorded video so it can be shared, adding to its operational effectiveness, it’s claimed.
CVP can also help Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) reduce their number of false alarms through analytics and enhancement tools over direct web services. They can use CVP to verify potential threats, whereas in the past deploying such tools has been both time consuming and expensive, according to the firm.
Digital Barriers will launch new video analytic algorithms onto CVP over the coming months, including its facial recognition and government-accredited intrusion detection analytics, SafeZone, and will host third-party analytics such as number plate recognition and vehicle traffic analytics. Later this year, Digital Barriers’ video technology, TVI, will also be available as a cloud service to provide live, real-time video streaming over cellular networks (including 4G) from existing video stores for the first time.
Zak Doffman, CEO, says: “The growth in IP network video and edge-analytics has already created a generational technology shift in this market. Now the evolution to cloud services will do the same again. Our class-leading video streaming and analytics technologies are uniquely capable over wireless networks. This is why they have been adopted by some of the world’s leading defence and security organisations and have sold into more than thirty countries. This gives us a very compelling advantage over other cloud video offerings that will inevitably come to market.
“With the launch of the Cloud Video Platform we can give connected cameras anywhere in the world almost instant access to our suite of advanced video tools with no deployment costs or delays. And this will continue to develop as we add cutting edge analytics from Digital Barriers and third parties.” Visit www.digitalbarriers.com.
