See hours of video in minutes
Turn hours of footage into a short clip. Video Synopsis condenses video by displaying multiple events simultaneously while preserving their original timing and context. 
  • Review hours of activity without watching every minute 
  • Quickly find people, vehicles and events of interest 
  • Speed up investigations while catching what’s important 
      Find exactly what you’re looking for
      Narrow large volumes of video to locate people, vehicles and activity relevant to your investigation using filters. 
      • Search for class, appearance object type, direction, and other criteria 
      • Combine multiple filters to get highly specific results 
      • Use custom-trained classes to identify objects unique to your environment 
      Focus your investigation
      See where people and vehicles spend time and go, identify unusual activity, and add visual context to help guide your investigation. 
      • See where activity is concentrated and the least visited zones 
      • Identify routes, movement patterns, loitering and lingering spots 
      • Uncover changes that occurred in a scene without reviewing hours of footage
      Get alerts tailored to your priorities
      Reduce alert fatigue and focus on the people, vehicles and activity most relevant to your environment. 
      • Match multiple alert rules to detect specific scenarios 
      • Use trained classes to identify uniforms, PPEs and specialty vehicles 
      • Monitor specific people, vehicles, crowds, behaviors and events 
      • Turn relevant activity into actionable notifications 
      Understand incidents with context
      Give operators the context they need to assess situations and act on risks before they escalate into costly incidents. 
      • View alerts alongside video and facility maps 
      • Match faces and license plates against watchlists 
      • Access the details needed to understand what happened 
        Detect activity in critical areas
        Know when crowds gather or unauthorized people and vehicles enter or move through your premises in important locations. 
        • Monitor entrances, exits and suspicious activity in restricted areas 
        • Detect line crossing and path across defined boundaries 
        • Track occupancy and crowd levels in real time 
        See what's changing
        Turn video metadata into dashboards that help you uncover patters in behavior, movement, demographics to support security, operations, and decision making. 
        • Identify trends, behaviors and recurring events over time 
        • Track activity, movement, occupancy and dwell time across locations 
        • Evaluate the impact of operational decisions and security initiatives
        Measure what matters
        Build dashboards around the information most relevant to your environment so teams can focus on the metrics that support their goals and responsibilities.
        • Choose the metrics, visualizations and dashboard layouts that fit your needs
        • Use ready-made dashboards or build your own using drag-and-drop tools
        • Get recommended visualizations based on the data you are analyzing
        Connect video with your data
        Combine video activity with information from other systems to add context and gain a deeper understanding of what is happening across your environment.
        • Enrich insights with data from PoS, time management, and BI systems
        • Correlate events across systems to uncover relationships and trends
        • Add context to events, operational decisions, and performance metrics
        “We have seen more than a fivefold increase in the solvability of shooting cases if there was a video component to it. For a little city that has high levels of gun violence, that’s an awesome return on investment.”

        Chris Mastroianni, Sergeant, supervisor of C4 real-time crime center, City of Hartford
