Graphic Image Technologies (GIT) has enhanced the video review tools of the original BriefCam VS Forensics solutions with the availability of BriefCam Syndex.
BriefCam Syndex is based on video synopsis technology where objects, events and activities that occurred at different times are presented simultaneously. Users can pinpoint events of interest, reach targets quickly and take action as required.
"The availability of BriefCam Syndex will allow users to sift through hours of footage by narrowing down searches through the incorporation of additional filtering criteria. This enables them to further refine searches, ensuring even more efficiency while saving time and money," says Laurence Smith, executive at GIT.
In addition to offering a set of tools for fast video review, Smith states that BriefCam Syndex augments the basic video synopsis by allowing users to search video according to attributes that they define such as size, colour, speed, direction and location within the frame. All parameters are under the user's control including the order of objects displayed in the video synopsis.
"For example, if law enforcement is looking for a hijacked vehicle and the only information available is the colour of the vehicle and the direction that it travelled in, BriefCam Syndex allows for the filtering of the footage including the ability to remove clutter - anything other than a vehicle - and search for a red vehicle driving in a northerly direction," explains Smith. "This ensures that only red objects headed north will be featured on the footage, narrowing the time frame to search," he adds.
Like all search engines, BriefCam Syndex ranks the video synopsis results in order by probability, from highest to lowest, ensuring that the most relevant events of interest are presented first.
"Since launching sales in mid-2010, BriefCam products have been used successfully by law enforcement and investigative agencies worldwide," says BriefCam CEO and president Dror Irani.
"The new product opens BriefCam up to new markets and uses beyond security as it also serves as a productivity enhancement tool. It enables users to extract value and actionable information from video that had previously gone unwatched due to time and cost constraints," he says.
BriefCam Syndex is geared towards a range of user groups and market verticals with a variety of versions that are tailored to these specific markets.
"Our ultimate goal is to help turn seemingly 'useless' video into useful and actionable information that supports better decision making and faster action," concludes Irani.
