Brent Boekestein, a leader in AI-powered video analytics and computer vision, has been recognized with a Security Innovator Award in recognition of his work in AI-powered video analytics.

Before joining OpenEye, Boekestein co-founded Vintra, an AI-powered video analytics company whose technology was deployed by Fortune 100 organizations and the U.S. government before the company was acquired by OpenEye and Alarm.com in 2023. He holds a Master of Science degree from the University of Manchester, has co-authored two patents in computer vision and has delivered more than two dozen presentations worldwide on artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT).

At OpenEye, Boekestein has been a tireless advocate for treating video security as an active operational platform rather than a reactive cost center. He has educated customers, partners and colleagues on the capabilities of AI video analytics, particularly around agentic capabilities and cross-departmental collaboration.

His track record of accurately forecasting which AI advances will matter most in the field has made him a trusted guide as organizations evaluate how intelligent video technologies can improve security operations and business outcomes.

The Security Innovator Award recognizes professionals whose work is helping advance the security industry through innovation, leadership and technological progress. Congratulations to Brent Boekestein on this recognition.
