VideoIQ Creates Security Cameras that Recognize Events and Provide Analytics

Video security is an essential aspect of security for many businesses.  However, video cameras are difficult and costly to deal with most of the time.  Businesses have to attain camera equipment, install the equipment, and pay security guards to keep watch of multiple video monitors imperfectly.  Even worse, most of the time companies end up reviewing security footage only to get information on a crime that already happened. VideoIQ is a cool product that wants to change how companies use video security.  Using what they call “B.R.A.I.N. technology”, VideoIQ can recognize suspicious events in real-time with specialized software in their cameras.  This technology allows VideoIQ to help companies prevent crimes as they happen rather than use video footage to review a theft once someone has already committed it.  If it works as the company advertises, VideoIQ could save businesses significant amounts of money in loss and theft prevention.  Even with video footage to capture thefts-in-action, many crimes go completely unsolved for storefronts.  A video security system that can actually detect suspicious activity and alert security when it happens could prevent many of these crimes from succeeding in the first place.  Any enterprise interested in utilizing VideoIQ should have solid business IT support to help install the cameras and connect them to the security system. 

VideoIQ’s founders spent much of their academic career working in robotics. The company’s own CTO, Dr. Mahesh Saptharishi, worked for years to give robots “seeing” functionality. Saptharishi’s research focused on providing robots ways to recognize their environment.  Also key to the research was getting robots to identify specific objects and actions within that environment.  VideoIQ has implemented the fruits of this research into their cool product.  This technology gives VideoIQ’s cameras their real-time event recognition abilities.  These abilities make VideoIQ potentially useful to many retail businesses across the country.

Due to VideoIQ’s visual recognition technology, companies that use the product can also receive analytics produced by the cameras.  Clients can set their cameras to recognize specific events.  VideoIQ will then tag each event as it occurs, even if they aren’t crimes. The VideoIQ software will then report these events in metrics reported by the product’s software. Business owners can access these analytics online whenever they want.  There are many instances where this feature could be useful.  For example, a company that has salespeople speak to customers on the floor can set the cameras to recognize any sales that take too long to complete.  VideoIQ can help owners evaluate their business as well as prevent security issues.  Companies that have trouble setting up VideoIQ metrics can contact an onsite tech support service for assistance.
