BriefCam®, an industry’s leading provider of Video Content Analytics and VIDEO SYNOPSIS® solutions, and a Finalist the 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is pleased to announce the company’s advanced video analytics software platform has been selected to serve as the analytics engine for Verizon’s Intelligent Video solution.
Intelligent Video is a hosted and managed comprehensive remote monitoring service from Verizon that provides enhanced situational awareness to help law enforcement and security teams keep public and private facilities secure with near real-time, actionable data from video content.
Cameras capture high-quality video, which is analyzed to identify unusual or abnormal behavior and trigger alerts and can be archived for evidentiary needs.
When suspicious activity is detected, an alert is immediately sent to authorized personnel enabling rapid response.

Verizon Intelligent Video leveraging BriefCam, the industry leader in video analytics, advanced analytics streamlines video review so users can review of hours of video in minutes to help dramatically increase investigation productivity.
This combined solution enhances the ability for the organizations to protect lives and property in both remote locations, as well as in the center of cities, equally.
Ideal applications also include critical infrastructure from dams and power plants to oil refineries and transportation systems, and other locations where video surveillance is a key part of a security program.
The full solution includes near real-time and forensic video analysis, and trends in data through dashboard visualization, enabling rapid acceleration of video investigations.

Intelligent Video provides law enforcement and security personnel with the ability to pinpoint objects of interest with speed and precision, reducing time and resource investments—effectively transforming video into actionable insights.
Key benefits of Verizon’s Intelligent Video solution include:
-
Increase manageability. Manage multiple sites from a single interface.
-
Deter crime. Get eyes on the street or indoors at the busiest or most remote areas with wireless or wireline connectivity.
-
Improve insights. Use intelligent data to make more informed decisions and optimize resource planning, helping you achieve better resolutions.
-
Scale rapidly. Adapt the solution to your specific needs with support for more than 100K cameras and the ability to integrate with other security solutions.
-

“Leveraging its award-winning network, Verizon is creating a best-in-class solution to enable the protection of all facilities in a community whether in the city center or on the edge of town,” explains Gili Rom, VP Strategic Initiatives, BriefCam.
“Bringing together Verizon’s wireless infrastructure with our advanced video analytics and other industry leading technologies allows security professionals to remotely optimize situational awareness while reducing time and resource investments.”
Verizon Intelligent Video leveraging BriefCam’s robust analytics software offers a comprehensive, bundled video management solution for cloud or wireless access that includes software licensing, installation, administration, training, and support.
The solution was built to provide advanced analytics and benefits for an improved experience.
BriefCam delivers the ability to monitor and analyze multiple sites remotely from a single interface and the insights needed to fully prevent or investigate and resolve issues.
Traditional video-monitoring solutions for facilities like dams, power plants, sports arenas or storage facilities can require significant investments to align cameras on site and to store video feeds.
Additionally, streaming and storing data long-term can be costly and tax bandwidth.
“Using Verizon Intelligent Video, we were able to collect and analyze data in real-time, enabling us to analyze trends around pedestrian counts, vehicle traffic and jaywalking in minutes rather than needing to commission a months-long study,” shared Francisco Contreras, innovation manager for the city of West Hollywood.
“From this we gleaned useful insights that helped us identify potential safety issues around the city.”
Verizon Intelligent Video automates video analysis with an easy-to-use interface for cloud or wireless access where users can quickly drill down and filter objects based on a wide range of object classifications, attributes and behaviors.
This accelerates investigations and helps users attain situational awareness sooner, to derive operational intelligence from video. The powerful solution makes it possible to do more with fewer monitoring, intelligence, and investigative resources.
“Situational awareness from video surveillance tools can be a force multiplier, providing public safety, governments and other agencies access to data that can further investigations or protect against threats,” said Vickie Lonker, vice president public sector product development at Verizon.
“Verizon Intelligent Video is a powerful, scalable solution that can help organizations secure key assets in remote locations or more populated areas, protecting people, equipment and intellectual property.”
