Security & Surveillance
A video-analytics solution helping law enforcement improve community safety — combining post-event investigation with real-time alerting and rapid response to move operations from reactive to proactive. Agencies process and search video from networked police cameras and private surveillance systems, investigate up to 10× faster, and review 6–10 surveillance sites in less time than one classic operation. Capabilities span case management, video synopsis, multi-camera search, face and license-plate recognition, line-crossing, people counting, proximity and face-mask detection — with notifications integrating into Genetec Security Center, Milestone XProtect and IndigoVision Control Center.

AirOwl, a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) pollution-monitoring kit developed for a global telecom operator's HQ — letting employees build their own personal air-quality monitoring device as a team-building activity aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. AirOwl provides real-time air-quality data through an app and uses crowd-sourced data to build environmental awareness. The operator's entire CXO team took part, monitoring the air-quality levels of the HQ city and meeting the goal of creating awareness about air pollution.
