New CCTV software powered by Calipsa is improving security around the world by analysing millions of alarms every day.
The VRC Smart Alarm Filtering is a remote video analytics platform which is powered by Calipsa. Reducing false alarms by over 80% and is constantly improving. Not only can this new service reduce false alarms, but it can also increase monitoring performance & offer more robust data metrics. Potential deployments include traffic enforcement, road accidents and public disorder. The Calipsa engine uses a feedback loop to evolve and improve. Human operators can ‘teach’ artificial intelligence using a point and click interface. This automates repetitive parts of their jobs.
The new software is designed to work with any existing camera or video source. The technology can be deployed via the cloud or within premises. No retrofit is needed. The technology is adaptable to all weather and lighting conditions, with 95% accuracy. Manually viewing large quantities of video data for hours and hours can lead to potential errors, through tiredness and lapses in attention.
The technology works in different applications, including municipal cases, such as monitoring traffic flows and congestion, traffic surveys and incident detection. Another application is in mass transit hubs, such as airports, bus and train stations. As well as others include law enforcement, defences, critical infrastructure and commercial sites, like shopping centres, offices and casinos.
