RA'ANANA, Israel, Sept. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- When time is of
the essence, security and public safety organizations will no
longer be overwhelmed by the process of reviewing hours of video to
identify and track people, NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE)
announced today. The company formally introduced to the market
NICE Suspect Search, a new video analytics solution aimed at
efficiently searching through multiple video sources to detect
targets in a matter of minutes.
Currently searching for a specific person over many cameras and
locations and across a broad period of time is a demanding,
lengthy, and cost-consuming task that may end up being
fruitless.
With NICE Suspect Search, a search for an individual is
initiated with a reference based upon a recorded image, an uploaded
full body photo, or by creating a composite. The system can
simultaneously search for multiple targets in several cameras. By
automatically filtering out 95 percent of irrelevant images and
presenting the results by relevancy, an hour of video can be
reviewed in less than a minute.
NICE Suspect Search can be useful in many use cases,
including:
- Conducting a forensic investigation by analyzing multiple video
sources following a crime to identify the perpetrator's route and
actions
- Tracking an intruder of a closed area or checkpoint breach
- Finding a lost child within a critical window of time
- Locating the owner of unattended luggage
As a result, organizations can optimize their ongoing security
and safety operations by:
- Enhancing forensic analysis of events
- Improving response time
- Preventing criminal activity
- Reducing operational shutdown time
The system is built on NICE's IP video management solution,
NiceVision, and can be integrated with NICE's situation management
solution, Situator. It is currently deployed in several
proof-of-concept (POC) projects around the world, including
airports, mass transit, safe cities and major sporting events.
Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE Security
Group
"While the proliferation of cameras is an important
trend in the security market, the burden of processing all of the
data has limited the value of the video footage. Based upon our
extensive work in the market, we've developed NICE Suspect Search,
which is a ground breaking application that tackles that major pain
point for our customers. Whether they are trying to find a suspect,
understand who left behind a bag, or see where a child went, they
may now have that answer in minutes."
