Sifting through recorded video in the event of an incident can be difficult and time-consuming. Convergint partners with Milestone and Snap Surveillance to provide live forensic tracking software for surveillance systems. This force-multiplying technology provides operators with the tools to respond effectively in real-time situations and quickly obtain recorded video.
Using tracking algorithms based on information theory, Snap Network Intelligence engine automatically finds the relationships between cameras’ fields of view, without requiring time-consuming and often unreliable manual configuration. Operating continuously at the sub-camera level, Snap finds which parts of those fields of view relate to every other camera. This powerful analysis operates at large scale.
For example, with a network of 1,000 cameras, each divided into 100 regions, there are 10 billion possible relationships; Snap finds the “relationship” needles in the haystack. Armed with the information it has learned about the camera relationships, Snap is able to support key applications delivering real customer value, such as the ability for operators to track activity as it moves from camera to camera across the network, using Snap’s video pursuit feature.
