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.
