ObjectVideo's award-winning intelligent video surveillance software is based on artificial intelligence called computer vision and provides automated, real-time detection, identification, tracking and analysis of potential threats and events. It runs all objects in a camera's view against threat-specific pre-programmed rules. When an object violates a rule, for example, when a person or vehicle enters an off-limits area or loiters near it, the software alerts security personnel by phone, pager, email or an alert console.
